Full Power Fc Tune For R33 Gtst Prices? Status, Recustoms?


Recommended Posts

hey guys just wondering where you guys got your power fcs tuned and are happy with the job and how much they charged , typical mods, turbo, fmic, z32, injectors,exhust, for example how much would somewhere like status or re customs charge?

it depends as the AFM and injectors may need more work to have them tune

and you should clarify what you call a "tune" as it might not be the same among tuners

some may just give you a max power tune and some may give you an on-road tune

and some may do a combination of both

if you just get a max power tune, youll likely have sucky fuel economy

so be sure that fuel economy is setup and tuned

and if its just a dyno tune, its likely when you get the car and trash the pants off it on the street, that it will knock

as the load is slightly different on the dyno, so either take note of this or enquire if an on-road check/tune is needed

my max power GTST tunes have been around $400 ish that was back in 2005/2006

and it was setup of car, max power tune, quick economy trim

more work was required to fix on-road knocking and on-road fuel economy later (these would be seperate costs i assume? - i did them myself)

got mine tuned at chasers motorworks (West melb, dynon Rd) . got 340kw at all 4 wheels really happy with the tune. chargers depends on how long Paul (Tuner) takes. chargers per hour. u can let him know what you want and he will work it out for ya :down: give them a ring or go down for a chat! friendly bunch of guys. who knows i might be there as well. haha. grey r32gtr, mension ken they shld know me. lol..

thanks guys yeah i was reading about the different type of tunes and how people are getting knocking on the street, thanks ujin ill have a chat to them when im ready for the tune .

It's all subjective in a lot of cases. People get quoted $500, and it turns out to be $1000.

So just go there, discuss with the people, get a price. If your car has issues on the dyno, price will go up, simple as that.

No-one can give you a concrete price due to potential problems (ie a fuel reg might die, fuel supply might be shit, parts might be intermittently faulty).

All of which takes time to diagnose and price - goes up. Hence the increase in costs.

Couldn't agree more Ash. I had issues with my fuel pump and had it replace with a Tomei @ Racepace when my retune was done because the first "cheaper" tune I has was rubbish.

Name: Racepace

Location: 9/6 Holloway Drive, Bayswater

Number: 9762 9421

Trent quoted me 550 I paid 550 although it went fairly smoothly at first he was worried if i had enough spark in my coil packs but he said they ended up being fine although I think he said he's bumping the price up to $570 for first tune now

thanks james yeah i heard the price went up just wasnt sure by how much i would be happy with that price for a good tune and happy to pay abit more if needs more attetnion

well status is $570 now as james was only there recently.....

but with trent, that $570 buys you a VERY good tune. and unlike many other tuners, he will fix up any issues that may arise on the road for free, and he then charges a lot less for subsequent retunes when you have new mods :(

i have my car tuned at status, and am very very happy with it... unopened rb25 makes 300rwkw and has been alive for nearly 2 years now

trent spends a LOT of time tuning every car, you really do get every dollars worth

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
