Glen at ESP racing...they are also a ViPEC dealer...much better ecu than Power FC, but he is good on FC's too if you decide to go that way

Croydon Racing Developments will do it right the first time, I will not not go anywhere else.

Im sure that Croydon are good at what they do but they're in Sydney and tuning in Sydney is much different to tuning in Canberra, we're 700m higher in altitude than Sydney and oxygen levels here are different so why wouldnt you get it tuned here by someone perfectly capable of doing it?

Being capable is one thing, getting the best is another.

I only trust one man with tuning and thats the guy autotech tried to get, who isn't a mechanic, yet they were going to hire him as a professional ecu tuner.

I have heard good things about crd, but a safe tune from crd (which is what you would have to get because of the altitude difference) wouldn't be as good as a good tune done in canberra.

Ultimately you would get CRD up form sydney, or Ceffie from melbourne, But Ed is Very good from everything I have heard and what Ceffie has told me :D

$650 FOR A DYNO TUNE!!??? - *Cough Rip off cough*

I've had 4 different dyno tunes done by 4 different shops (Autotech was one of them) and Ive never paid more than $400.

I guess they charge more for GT-R's??? :D lol!

Usually pay about $350 but that was the first tune with the ecu. Did have some other work done at the same time so coulda made a difference?

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
