Where To Get Tune In Se Suburbs

[itshimdazza]

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...

In your opinion

[itshimdazza]

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....

[adznight]

A major service will vary significantly form workshop to workshop in my experience. Best give them a call mate

In your opinion

Status who?

[JamesK]

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

+1,000,000

[paulr33]

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

[FATGTS-R]

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.
