I organised a dyno tuning lesson at Unigroup Engineering a while back and there's a few people that are keen to go. I had a chat with unigroup whilst I was getting my car fixed there and it turns out we can get one happening in a few weeks time...... towards the end of November/start of December.

There's a few people already booked (some from SAU too) but we just need a few more to get it going and it'll be the last session in the near future, definitely the last one for 2010 and probably the last one for the discounted intro price. Anybody keen to learn how to improve their performance and also do their own tuning?

All the details are here:

PS - this isn't for the previous people that wanted to goto the advanced course, they're still waiting on numbers on that one.

Am intersted. Is this a basic or advanced course? Would it suit someone who already has experience self tuning and looking to improve?

Anyone who has done these in the past can shed some light?

Would be interesting learning off a tuner IRL to improve. (although yet am i to blow something up ^^)

The "advanced" course is for those that have previously attended whereas this one here is for everybody that has never been before. There is a number of people that have registered that have done some type of tuning before so you'll probably fit right in with them.

There's feedback on this link (down the right hand side): http://www.ao-ps.com/dynotuningsessions.html

Here is the forum link to the previous session with feedback from the participants: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ha...ce-t308456.html

For those that attended yesterday a big thank you to Wing and Unigroup.

The tuning workshop was fantastic value.

For me the best concept I grasped was in understanding the combustion pressure changes either side of top dead centre.

A very long and enjoyable day.

ps. straight out of the box the rough tune on DVS32R's car wasn't shabby. :thumbsup:

Had an Awesome time at unigroup on sunday,

Yavuz IS the smartest tuner i have ever met.

Best value for money, i learnt alot, we covered in detail every question the group had about tuning.

Thanks for organising it Wing

cheers

Thanks for a great day guys! I always learn something new and it looks like you guys got what you wanted out of it with all your questions answered :)

A participant said that he was more interested in tuning theory, how an internal combustion engine works on a detailed engineering level, and how not to get fed BS/ripped off by dubious workshops. Even without the dyno tuning training it was well worth the knowledge gained from the day. I agree.

We had guys traveling from as far as the central coast and Canberra to attend but I think WA is a wee bit far lol

Something that may interest people is that Yavuz (head of Unigroup Engineering) is a university degree-certified mechanical engineer, specialising in chassis dyno tuning. He was also recently invited by the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) to present and discuss in nitty gritty engineering detail regarding engine design/tuning, so hats off to him :worship:

Honestly, I think that the "comparison" table on the website is an absolute crock of shit. Seriously if you are going to do that sort of thing you need to compare your service to that of another company, you can't just say "other" because it is a cop out and allows you to write the whatever you want. For example "Q&A time: UniGroup Engineering-Maximum, Other-Minimum" what the hell is that? It is a little dishonest and reflects poorly on your company, if you really stand behind your service you should name another company and compare the two, don't simply compare UniGroup with an "other" company that may or may not exist who just conveniently happens to be the worst company ever. I think you should consider changing or removing this laughable piece of marketing.

In the meantime please continue to enjoy free advertising under the "events" sections of the NSW sub forum.

went along to this today, time very well spent. Yavuz certainly knows his shit and can explain in words small enough for me.

+1. Highly recommended. Will be back for the Advanced course.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
