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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
