I dont think so, I think all tuners do a dyno tune then take it to the road to check that theres no knocks/get rid off knocks when they are present, they couldn't be arsed doing a road tune, when their time is money and another job is waiting in the line.. So there's no way to tell that your car has been road tuned unless you are a dud who believes most things people tell you and are easily mislead....ha ha

the best way is to spend the entire couple of days at the workshop or plant a secret camera in the car..omg.. As someone said earlier, most tuners would basically give u a before and after dyno print out to make you happy and believe your car has had a fantastic tune...what with the power increase on the printout..unless its someone you know / can trust etc..

Been to GAS Motorsport - the bloke I met there is so cool, a really friendly and helpful guy, u can tell they love their cars - they can tune same day - drive in and out provided theres no issues, plus u get to watch the tuner doin his tune, not only that, they have some really great prices too.

Anyone tuned their car with Nistune there?

And a awesome Supra they got in-house - GAS2JZ - 1200+HP at wheels! !

Wouldnt wana say that in forums, I dont think its good practice, but their workshop is one of the best and cleanest I've seen, and they make some really insane 2JZ cars, plus a really top bloke they have there as well

fair enough, it has already been posted in this thread that most big tuners do it for 1100, except CRD 1400.

then you say GAS have really great prices.

Has he tuned with nistune before?

he might put a RB in his drag car and start doing RB's instead of 2J after tuning your car lol

Drive in drive out same day isn't a full tune. There is no way they can check the cold start.

Nothing wrong with it, i have done it that way plenty of times, but you have to accept that it won't be perfect when cold.

On the plus side, the factory temp enrichment map is pretty forgiving so if you haven't gone overboard on mods you'll get away with it.

Wana book it in this weekend - so I found that my car is running really farked between 1000-1800ish rpms, like shuddering and jolting and misfiring, above that is awesome through to 7000rpms no dramas there at all, and feel like good power gain, idle is 90% okay but not as smooth as before.. Man its makin me nuts, feel like setting the whole damn thing alight!

Some peeps say I need a re-wire, some say I need a tune, anyways I think I will ask the tuner to take out the damn pump and check the voltages in diff rpms, and if thats stuffed, then re-wire or run a earth to the chasis from the fuel pump control modulator (where is this and what does it look like?)

I know there could be several things that can cause this problem - dirty AFM, coilpacks, sparkies, TPS etc, but definitely NOT this time, my car was fine and smooth as before I changed the pump, but running quite lean and not feeling as fast as now in the mid-high rpms..

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
