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?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
