Had my R33 skyline tuned at chequered tuning,

Trent and Kat provide a great service; trent was very helpful in trying to solve an ignition miss and a drivability issue.

After 3 trips from the westside, I decided it was to far for me to travel so a friend recommend I try advanced jap auto imports in west sunshine, within 10 minutes the ignition issue was fixed and the car was retuned on the same boost.

I was amazed with the outcome the final power figure was 330 kws compared to the previous 270 kws, I thought it might just be a difference in dyno's but I was shocked once I went for a test drive and the drivability issue was corrected with the tune.

Con & Steve really know there stuff, I was very impressed with there Evo 3 lancer all done in house from engine assembly to motec wiring, aluminum and stainless fabrication apparently the quickest street registered lancer in Victoria they were in the process of fitting a bigger turbo and dual stage nitrous when my car was getting tuned.

I sent nistune an email (they're in Adelaide) and I got the price down to $250 installed and laptop tune. I even took a photo of the email to prove it.

Anyone who's paying $1100 for a chip is insane.

My 2c

this still makes me giggle 5 years later :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
