Just a have a quick question as to what the cost would be to perform a retune...

Now its an unopened 96 r33 gtst but fresh motor & presently has a 3”exhaust, front mount, yellow jacket coils, standard by hiflowed turbo running a Nistune ecu with Bosh 040 fuel pump.

I was looking at Staos atr43ss-1 PU etc and I have some yet to be used 550 fuel injectors.

Baically i would like to get a rough idea what the cost of a retune including fitment of the injectors & turbo. Also needed would be a hard induction pipe

I was hoping for a realistic 260-280rwkw as my tune

presently got dyno’ed on a SAu dyno day at Knoxfield only getting 162rwkw. I

cant seem to see whay I achieve such a low power rating when I have a highflow

running @ 18psi with the Nistune ecu when other standard cars with standard

turbos getting at least 180rwkw.

Regards,

Darren

I think I meet you at that dyno day...since then I havent changed anything on my car and I put the car on the dyno at dr drift dyno day

car read 18kw extra, so I wouldnt worry too much about the reading at the knoxfield place.

This reading matched up to be 2-4kw higher then my stock reading i got when I first purchased the car as well

If your confident I would do the turbo swap yourself to save abit of coin, The injector price will vary, don't quote me on this but I think Chequered tuning was around $350 to fit the injectors, where as other places were upwards of $600, which again if your confident u could do yourself. As for the price on tune, call around different place have different prices p/h on the dyno, have decided where u want to take your car?

Given it is not really a "retune" at all, given you are basically changing all the parts that require attention...

Probably more than you paid last time. Given all new parts take time to configure, setup and then tune correctly.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
