Gday All,

Quick question - who in Launceston (preferably) knows how to tune these cars well, especially with the Power FC?

I've been told before who does 'em, but that was about a year ago... and now I forget (natch).

I'm also interested to know roughly what I can expected to pay for this?

Last tune was almost a year ago - that was on the mainland - and I *think* I paid about $600 for the privilege...

Cheers

i know you said in launnie :) but i made the trip down to hobart to get nick summers to tune my PFC, and i would highly recomend him, best bet is to call up SPG in hobart and they could organise it for you, other than than in launnie there is fuel tech (road tune) or sherrif

i've had a few hassles trying to get Summers to do mine :) BUT i did have a few things to do other than just my tune. while car is off the road I am installing my gtr injectors, z32 and rb26 pfc so that way i can ring nick and just get a tune and thats it :-) but yeah, im also on the lookout for someone else in case i cant get mine done in time by Summers.

Thanks for that ian_and1, I suppose it'd be an excuse to go down to Hobart :)

Do you recall roughly how much it cost to get a tune done?

I'm a little in two minds about getting a tune done if expensive in Tas, mainly because I /think/ my 34 has lost some power- then again it could just be my imagination. The other main reason is I'm lucky to take the 34 out of the shed even once a month now (due to my location). I should really sell it and get something more practical for the roads around here, even though I still love the car.

Cheers

I am trailering my car from Hobart to Launceston to get Brad Sheriff to tune it but its running a Microtech, I have seen some really good figures he has pulled out of cars running microtechs and other ECUs, not sure about PowerFCs tho. Might be worth asking him.

Any one here know if he does PowerFCs?

Pro Automotive (Hobart) are excellent also. Last time they did my R34 it was about $300.00.

Well $300 is better than the $600 I paid last time (on the mainland) :(

Thanks, I'll make note of their details.

I'm pretty sure he does - I recall it being mentioned on SAU before.

Next time I'm in Launy I'll drop by and ask, cheers

yeah he does, he did my R33 which has a pwr Fc, from memory he made a plug up for my Z32 afm and installed my upgraded injectors, with a dyno run as well, think it cost me around $430 for the lot. And yes he produced a more than respctable number fromm my R33 :ninja:

good numbers and a nice safe tune, the car has run near its full potential with the hardware in it for almost 18months now, never misses or looks like missing a beat

Go see Brad @ Boost. He tuned my old RB25 to 399rwkw with twin turbos.

Hey tuned my 25/30 with T51r 364rwkw @ 20psi but found a rattle in the head. I will go back to him once mine is sorted again.

If you need any 25 bolt on parts let me know... Greddy plenum, 80mm throttlebody, 6boost manifold, T51r, 60mm gate, lol

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
