well i already had the power fc installed, but installation of the power fc is plug and play, so you can instal yourself i dont think they would charge you for installing if they had to do it,

and installing a boost controler isnt very hard, it wouldnt cost that much , but anyways still 500 isnt much money at all when you want a good tune.

Gdump - lose the grudge mate, what's your problem. The lap top software is from Apexi, you need to go to Japan to be trained. The hc only allows minor ignition and timing adjustments and that my friend is what you need tuned the most, so if you want a mild tune go there, if you want it done to it's full potential go to CAS. You get what you pay for. Why don't you give them a buzz and talk to Jim.

I was quoted 600-800 by CAS, it just puts big ???? on if it really is worth paying double what others charge. I mean if they have the software and it is easier than tunning than with the HC shouldnt it be cheaper. Fair enough they might be one of the only ones with the software but i think they over charge a bit.

One thing is for sure they wont be getting double the HP !

GZ R33: Wow, didnt know to use the laptop software you need to be trained from japan. Thats pretty goood. But I am from sydney ont canberra, so i dont know where CAS is. By the way, I have no grudge, dont know where you got that from. Im just a new guy looking for info mate. So you shouldnt be judging people like that.

1. Apexi software is in Japanese, hense the training.

2. CAS = Croydon Auto Sports.

3. In your posts you doubt or disagree with replies to your posts.

Trust me I have already gone through this shit before, take my advice, ring them up and talk to them (have to talk to Jim only), I will almost guarantee that sooner or later you will end up going there.

One thing i would like from a tuner is not just to take my car for a few days tune it and hand it back to me without letting me ask questions. I would actually like the tuner to sit with me for a while and explain some of the settings as well as show me what may be changed to get a little more power. Anyone had this happened to them?

It still (and always will) comes down to the tuner.

I've seen some shocking things come out of *** (which I won't go into here), so I don't think the argument of 'you get what you pay for' holds up in this case.

As for the extra 30rwkw from using the software, well anyone can do that, you just change the settings on the dyno.

Or it could be argued that having a more aggressive tune (to get the extra 30rwkw) will be cutting it too close to the edge (ie unsave).

Best thing to do is do your reasearch, find someone that your happy with and price your happy to pay, and go with them.

I went straight to CAS as I came to the conclusion that Jim tunes a PFC on a GTR like no body else! I was not dissapointed, no complaints here.

He talked to me told me what was what and why he was doing this and that bla bla bla.

I'll be having him tune my car for GTR stage 2.

Best of luck guys

con at c&v is o.k at tuning the powerfc, for a cheap and nasty tune id go there again.

the hitman did my 3rd tune, had some comments on c&v's work but was overall O.K with it....i was very happy after matt's effort i only asked him to clean up cruise and top end, which he did, now i've gotta get him back to do bottom and mid range as my check engine light comes on too frequently for my liking.

i've had 3 tunes and spent about 700 bucks....should i have saved the bucks and did it all at crd? probably not, i think there are tuners out there, like matt, who can do just a good a job for atleast half the price.

con is getting better at the powerfc.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
