ive had a negative experience with them too...but Jim at CRD is the best skyline tuner in Sydney...by far.

Dont take it to Unique...if anyone wants to know why they can PM me

GTR Tuner, yes. Skyline tuner, negatory.

Im pretty sure someone said it before, CRD is good at GTRS.

Main thing that put me off was the Hot4's silvia blowing up, not the best things to see on a car they tuned and built. Although it may not have been their fault. However this is not why i wont go.

Hitman, gods gift to tuning - so he thinks.

Hey Nathaniel

which silvia from HOT4s blew up?

i only know of the IgnitionDVD S14.5 owned by Andrew Hawkins, which thought it was an RB26 for a day and shat an oil pump.

but that definatly wasn't CRDs fault

you already know my thoughts on Hitman

I've heard nothing but good things from Unigroup, PowerTune Autstralia, JEM and CRD

Yeah man thats true, I got the impression something else was happening as the way he presented he sounded pissed. I.e they didnt do something, but like I said not the reason I wouldnt go.

Ive got my own reasons ill let you know another time.

Checked out JEM, however they are moving at the months end.

Unigroup is prob my best bet..

Indy from IS motor racing tune my car also sponsor for Autosalon magazine drift car. Seen my car got tune by Indy my gtr nothing have gone wrong.

you can always give it ago or drop by have a chat to him, his more then happy to help you out .

detail listed below hope that will help ya.

IS Motor Racing (Indy) and Micks Motorsport (Micks) have both tuned my car, and both have been excellent. I've used some of the tuners mentioned in this thread and haven't been impressed with their work.

However - you guys have to remember everyone is biased, and generally if one engine component fails, the tuner is almost always blamed. Threads like this are very hard to keep honest :P No doubt there's some tuners out there that have more bad than good days, but what can you do. I'm hesitant to comment on the companies I didn't like when I used them, but these days everything said on the net' can come back to you, and these guys would have ALL of my details... :down: So f**k that.

CV Performance at Taren point.

They have alot of high hp cars and record 1/4 mile times coming out of there.

He doesnt mess around. He's straight to the point, he's quick, and he knows what he's doing.

And they dont charge crazy high prices. Worth a mention.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
