Hey all,

Finally saved the $ to get my car tuned. Ive called up and been to a few places and Ive narrowed it down to the above.

Advan Performance are asking $620. They will load up a preconfigured map which matches the specs of my car and do 3 - 4 hours of modifications on the dyno and an hour or two of cold start tuning.

CRD asked $750 and up for a full custom dyno tune which takes 6 - 8 hours.

Unigroup said $700 up for a full custom dyno tune

Toshi(member on here) said $500 for a full custom street tune + dyno tune.

People often say go for a full custom tune. My car has simple bolt on mods so I could save some dosh by going to advan performance and their work is very reputable. I'm not asking for people here to tell me to search and read. Those are the options. Choose one as you wish and if you like, have your say!

the advan tune will be a full custom tune. they will simply load a map from a previous tune based off similar mods onto your ecu and then customise it from there. loading on a map from a previous tune just gives them a base to start with that will save them a bit of time. it is no less custom than any of the other tunes though.

I'm also interested in geting my car tuned soon.

My mate recommended MRC in Castle Hill though.

Was wondering if you called them up for a quote at all?

Cheers

To this point, Ive never heard from these guys. Looking at their site though, I'd prefer to go with a tuner more specific to my car(crd/advan).

Get some more votes in, but most probably I will be booking in this tuesday for an advan tune. If it goes ahead, I will post my results in terms of power and then my fuel consumption with the same driving conditions. Technically, on a less rich tune I should make more power than what I am making now on the same amount of boost(225rwkw @ 14psi). Lets see what happens!

What you mean by more specific to your car?

you putting a R33 in aren't you?

Well let me know how you go with Advan they sound the goods in terms of pricing for results.

Thanks for reply

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
