Guys I am looking at getting a tune (1st time) as I will pick up my 96 r33 probably next weekend. I want to make sure that its been tuned properly from the 1st time I drive irelevent from the previous owners tuneup. I would like to know the rwkw so a dyno would be great but I have no idea of what these cost? Now this car has a 3' exhaust & pod filter (which i want back to original) and suposedly a slightly bigger standard high flow turbo running 10psi? (how can i tell if this is true??)

I live in Cranbourne so anywhere in the dandenong/frankston area would be fine i guess.

Can you guys suggest some places & prices?

oh another thing is that I dont beleive its had the timing belt done either and its at 103k km, so what would be the price of doing this as well?

Thanks guys and i hope you can help me out with this as I am a little dumbfounded by all this...

ps: I will post up spec's once someone can confirm them for me...

And of course there's the cream of the crop - Racepace :thumbsup:

he apparently used to have a mofified ecu but I beleive evrything has been put back to standard except for the exhaust (not sure what brand but is 3" , pod filter and ?modified turbo?

I does smell rich when running but I am not sure as if this is the case with every large bore exhaust?

with regards to a

1- standard service

2- major service

3- dyno

any idea what the breakdown on cost would be if thats all that is performed....

I wouldn't bother with a tune until you get some sort of aftermarket ECU whether it's piggy back or complete replacement. Tune for a stock PFC is ~$570 from trent @ status who does good work

a standard service i would pay around $150 for

this would include oil, oil filter, check of basic mechanics, water and coolant top up, check brakes etc

plugs if need be, check diff fluid etc

a major service i would pay around $500-$700 for

this would include standard service + new plugs + fuel filter + air filter + gearbox oil and whatever else may be needed

timing belt at 100,000 allow $400 for that alone

for dyno check around $60

which is just a power check, theres nothing to tune here

Like paul has mentioned above a timing belt replacement alone is $400 plus. Along with a major service and its $1,000 easy depending on what needs to be done.

Assuming the car is supplied with a legitimate RWC then brakes,exhaust,suspension,bushes and oil leaks etc should of already of been taken care of at the sellers end.

Dont take this the wrong way but why on earth are you asking these questions after committing to buying the car? You say it "supposedly" has a high flow? And "apparently" had a modified ecu?

Someone else has also recently bought an R34 and then decided to come on here asking questions that should be answered before purchase.

You should of piped up in here before deciding on what car you buy and asked for the name of decent workshops so you knew where to take a potential new car to get a pre-purchase inspection, dyno , leakdown test etc. May cost a couple hundred but can save you many thousands.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
