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

matt spry PITS

mark - GODZILLA MOTORsport..

easily get it installed and tuned for 1k and will have lots left over..

awesome thanks mate,yeah ive met Matt before he seemed pretty cool, heard he's a bit picky with the cars he tunes though??

Hey mate I have pretty much the same mods and i took my power fc to mark at godzilla. he fitted and tuned it for about 500 bucks from memory. He is great to deal with and really knows his shit :D

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 :cheers: 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 :cool: think il have to give him a call for sure

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
