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...

Since you're a n00b I'll let you off but if you use the search function in this forum (Vic Section) you'll find STACKS of threads about 100k services, workshops and other interesting things. You can also check out this sticky threads at the top of this section, this one in particular -

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 guess when I say it's a POS I mean.. the solution and the stuff has the capacity for maybe... 1 spot. You know, as a spot cleaner. What I really *want* is the ability to do an entire car, all upholstery, all carpet, mats, all seats, door card inserts, A pillars, roof liners, etc. In one go. I get lured by all the jank that comes out and think "I'd like to be able to clean to that degree"
    • I've got one (not the car one, the domestic spot cleaner one, which is basically the same jobbie) and have driven it hard for hours and hours at a time. Grimy sofas, 6' floor rugs, etc. I'd blame your specific example rather than the whole category. I haven't used mine in the car, because.... you know, it's my car. So there is no-one else's ball sweat in the driver's seat, there's no kid food/drink spills or hand prints inside because they've never had an opportunity to put them there. You know, basic, standard Skyline rules.
    • I normally run with I think a 10mm, and definitely use the second handle you can add to a drill. They hurt when they bins up!   For the crush tube, once all subframe is clear, I'd try some stilsons and see if I can get it to start to twist.
    • Probably because they couldn't, because the use of the variable resistor to create a "signal" in the ECU is managed by the ECU's circuitry. The only way that VDO could do it would be if they made a "smart" sensor that directly created the 0-5V signal itself. And that takes us back to the beginning. Well, in that case, you could do the crude digital (ie, binary, on or off) input that I mentioned before, to at least put a marker on the trace. If you pressed the button only at a series of known integer temperatures, say every 2°C from the start of your range of interest up to whatever you can manage, and you know what temperature the first press was at, then you'd have the voltage marked for all of those temperatures. And you can have more than one shot at it too. You can set the car up to get the oil hot (bypass oil coolers, mask off the air flow to oil coolers, and/or the radiator, to get the whole engine a bit hotter, then give it a bit of curry to get some measurements up near the top of the range.   On the subject of the formula for the data you provided, I did something different to Matt's approach, and got a slightly different linear formula, being Temp = -22.45*V + 118.32. Just a curve fit from Excel using all the points, instead of just throwing it through 2 points. A little more accurate, but not drastically different. Rsquared is only 0.9955 though, which is good but not great. If you could use higher order polynomials in the thingo, then a quadratic fit gives an excellent Rsquared of 0.9994. Temp = 2.1059*V^2 - 34.13*V + 133.27. The funny thing is, though, that I'd probably trust the linear fit more for extrapolation beyond the provided data. The quadratic might get a bit squirrely. Hang on, I'll use the formulae to extend the plots.... It's really big so you can see all the lines. I might have to say that I think I really still prefer the quadratic fit. It looks like the linear fit overstates the temperature in the middle of the input range, and would pretty solidly understate what the likely shape of the real curve would say at both ends.
    • I got a hand held bisssel one and it's a piece of shit. Doesn't work for more than about 5 seconds. So much so that I nearly refuse to believe any wet dry vac actually works or has enough suction to clean the carpet of a car. I'm discouraged as all the good ones are $300+ for an unknown result. I saw MCM did a Ryobi video where they use this thing: https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/stick-vacuum-cleaners/18v-one-hptm-brushless-spot-cleaner-tool-only Anyone have any experience actually using a tool like this when not paid to showcase it?
