All shops are very different, I know of a car thats been well set up for 7 years,Needed a bit of a tune so he went to a well knowen shop for a tune only to be told his ECU was no good even tho it had been for so long. He was sold a new ECU and the drive away price was over $7000.

The guy drove down the road and ran out of fuel,Got some more and told the tuner the car ran badly and had run out of fuel only to be told his car was not tune as it had no Fuel. 7K drive away with no tune and no fuel is rough and worse still he now finds he has no other tuner options.

Make sure you know what you are getting before you leave your cars anywhere.

I got my car tuned on Friday. It cost me $880 to get a Nistune ecu and tuned. One set fee I've heard. But that was for a rb20det using my ecu. Not sure wat u got.

It was pretty exciting hearing and seeing my car on the dyno. And good results to.

Im in the same boat with ya drift4, so can i get this straight. they replace your old ECU with a new one (powerFC??), then they remap your air fuel ratios n stuff on the dyno? or do they upload/tweak your existing ECU on the dyno?

I know, i should be shot :)

how long's a piece of string? all depends on how well ur car is prepared, best case scenario ur car is functioning perfectly and a tune can only take an hour or 2, but if there are any issues ul have to factor in diagnosis time, parts, time taken to rectify problem etc. my car took half hour on the dyno cos it was well prepared etc, whereas i saw a v6t gemini on the dybno for 2 days cos it was just slapped together

dont get emanage..

emanage = fail

so you have run emange ecu's in your car ????

what didn't u like, a bit more reason than fail might help a few people out, the only reason around seems to be with tuners, not the ecu, most tuners don't know the software, so won't touch

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
