R33 Gtst First Tune

[bsd-gtst]

hey guys,

had my skyline for a while now, its stock apart from front mount intercooler, split front dump pipe-full 3 inch exhaust, pod and boost controller. i have a power fc for it which i want to finally install and get tuned. i've allowed about 1000 bucks for tuning, (is this enough??) and im going to have a little bit of money left over, im thinking about getting a new fuel pump and a fuel pressure reg.

what do you guys think? would my extra money be better spent on different mods? and what sort of power output can i expect (roughly) with these mods? and also reccomend some tuners on the Coast/brisbane area, i'm thinking gavin wood-autotek.

any feedback would be greatly appreciated

cheers guys

thanks mate, yeah ive heard nothing but good things about that shop eh, that sort of price would be great too, what sort of power figure did you end up with??

yeah my pfc was installed and tuned by mark.. was $545, didnt wanna post a figure as yours may require more tuning or he may have put his price up (mine was couple yrs ago).. but still 1k easily and you don't need to worry.. he knows his stuff and will do an excellent job

Should be able to get a fuel pump and tune for that price but make sure you got decent coil packs and spark plugs. i had to replace mine which added another $800 for coils and spark plugs.

yeah true, the coils are standard and considering the age of the car id say they could do with replacing eh, thanks mate

you wont need an aftermarket fuel reg. the stock one will work fine for your power figures

really? well thats a good thing, maybe just a fuel pump and new coils then? ive been looking at a Walbro in-tank item? wat are these like anyone?? and most probably splitfire coils.

Mark will recommend tomei I made about 180rwkw on a 40 odd degree day. He doesnt try to push every single ounce of power possible out of the engine which suited me fine. I asked for a safe tune and thats what I got.

I will definately going back after my next round of mods for another tune.

ok cool, yeah that sounds like exactly the sort of tune i am after, definately safe, considering the age of the car and the amount of standard parts think il have to give him a call for sure
