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..

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
