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.

dont quote me on this :cool: but i think it was around the $350 for a base tune. but he was great when i picked the car up he gave me a run down on what he had done etc showed me how to use the hand controller/settings etc but he will def be doing tuning my new set up :)

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

Thanks again for the info, much better prices in TAS I see. 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:

it's not always about the power thoe, might be getting big numbers but is it a safe tune etc :)anyway all the people mentioned in this thread im sure know what there doing when it comes to tuning

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

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
