How's it going guys? My names Chad and yes, I live in the united States. I've noticed that the people who make the most power/have the best tuning methods/etc. reside in Australia, and well, since I can't find out what I need to know on the US forums, I thought I'd come to you guys :)

I have a 1992 Nissan 240sx with a KA24DE in it(S13, and i don't know if you guys got that motor here or not) I'm building the motor with forged internals, and I'm going to turbo it(with a GT3076R(Garrett) or something similar). Basically, I know I need a good tune on this, something that I can play around with the timing and such, but I don't want to dish out $1600 US dollars to buy a Standalone, and I don't want to deal with the headaches of Megasquirt. I have seen 2 companies from Australia that I am completely interested in. One of which is Bikirom, there have been very few people here in the states to use it, but upon research, I have found it to be very decent for the cost. I heard that in august they came out with a new version (version 4 i guess) but I cannot seem to find a way to get ahold of the company. I have searched for days and still have not found any information on how to contact them, and if in fact the new version is out, AND, how to purchase it.

Next is Nistune I have heard great things about this too, but I want to know the ups and downs of it. I want to know a little more about it, and what it does.

Skylines Australia, Please help me, I really really need it.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
