Absolutely! Where did you go for this? PM me all the details pls

I went direct to pete at PLMS, he installed it and sold me a licence as well as did a quick tune, all for $500 - still needs a proper dynotune but that'll come later.

If all they did was burn a chip, I'd be majorly pissed.... esp for that amount of money

ok so i have called the tuner AGAIA, and now he says that he didnt think i wanted to get the car tuned anywhere else but with him hence why he didnt put the nistune in..

is there more than one nistune? coz i asked for a nistune..

i didnt think there was more than one nistune..

any ideas what i can do..?

he is pretty much not doin ne thing to help except tell me i should have gone back to him..

the idea is that on occasions like this when i need a tune ASAP and the closest place is boost works then i go there...

If you asked black and white for a nistune board, then he has to provide man,

as far as forcing him to pay out etc I don't know, its harsh but sometimes easier to deal with the loss, spread the bad word amoungst everyone and move on.

Hope you get some coin out of this bastard though Age!

oh im furious..

he says now that he didnt understand i wanted a nistune to be installed..

like how may nistunes are there? i caled a few workshops and asked

"if i want a nistune and remap what would i get?"

they said "u would get a board installed into your ecu and a image put on to that(remap)"

dont think its too hard eh?

I completely agree with you man,

Just ring the tuner up and be completely up front with him, say you want a refund to recouperate 'some' of the funds and see what he says. Be firm about it don't let him talk you out of it. Scare him with the power of 'Word of mouth' :P

Being the import scene, few bad stories going round of this particular 'tuner' and he will loose alot of his income that'll hurt him more.

I doubt hed give a refund, but as a gesture of good will it would be acceptable for the tuner to finally fit a nistune board (if it hasnt already been done at bw)

Otherwise then I suppose a refund of $240 for a board that was never installed would be appropriate

As i said to Adrian on MSN i don't think he quoted for the board, a board + install + tune would be around the $7-800 mark. So what he paid for he got but there was a communication breakdown some where. If he paid $7-800 then he should get some money back.

Thats what I meant,

The idea of Adrian getting a full refund is not likely.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
