Yeh there is the possibility of going to sydney to get somewhere like CRD to install and tune it, but the only issue with sydney is i would have to get them to put in everything at the same time. Im planning on getting a hypergear r33 kai hi flow turbo, injectors (700cc or so), fuel pump (probably nismo in tank), clutch (got no idea what sort, suggestions?), ebc (profec b spec), z32 afm, 3" metal intake pipe and the nistune/z32 ecu)

So to get all that done in one hit theyd need the car for a fair while not to mention how big of a hit my wallet would take in one go.

Any place is going to need it for a fare while..?

Wouldn't mean because it's local you get to drive it home each afternoon after they have done one thing

Local is going to be the same as Sydney in time it takes and when you get to drive again.

Yeh, Im completely aware of that, But i meant to make it worth while going to sydney or somewhere I would have to get everything done at once otherwise the cost of driving up and back would make it not worthwhile after a couple of trips. Whereas here i could get a few things done at intervals, like fuel pump, ebc and nistune install and tune on stock turbo. Then get it back and wait a while/ save a bit more. Then get clutch, injectors, turbo and afm done a bit later. Not to mention if I get it done here its a lot closer to take it back to someone who has worked on it and knows the car a bit.

It's not rocket science and regardless of preference I find it hard to believe any workshop can't tune any ECU of your choice.

Best thing to do really is call around, talk to a bunch of workshops both local and in Syd and see who you feel comfortable with regardless of where they are. Slight inconvenience now (such as taking it to Syd) might save you a lot of trouble in the long run.

Up to you, but I think you are making a bad decision if you get hardware that only one workshop can work on. For the price, get a second hand Power FC then anyone can tune it. Everyone works on haltechs as well and vipec is becoming popular as well (though without the support or history of haltech).

I've gone to different workshops to get issues resolved, if you are stuck with one workshop and they into a problem they can not solve, you are stuffed. I've also learn't to spend the big money and get something done right with the best gear in the first place, but understand everyone has a budget.

I think the thing thats going to kill me with these upgrades is paying the labor costs to put everything in because im generally pretty unskilled when it comes to cars and dont trust myself not to stuff it up. Ideally if i was competant i would put everything in at home and get the car towed to be tuned to save on labor costs. But ive got no idea how to put in a new clutch, injectors, fuel pump, ebc and solder the z32 afm wires or change out my turbo for a high flowed one. Not to mention itd probably be really awkward to try and do that sorta stuff on a driveway with a jack and stands rather than a hoist. But i guess if you wanna do upgrades, you got to be willing to pay what it costs...

Nistune nistune nistune do it.

I spent days and hours upon hours researching it.

Just say stfu to local tuners and go to Sydney.

Also go the 32 Ecu with a window switch to control VCT

People might say keep it local but really?

Cheaper and possibly better tune you can't go wrong heading up to Sydney.

Where abouts did you get your nistune setup?

Purchased the Ecu online here

Also the VCT switch can pop up on here or you can google them and plenty of places sell them.

They go under the name of MSD rpm window switch

Turns things on and off at programmed rpm's such as your VCT

Chips I am purchasing online from nistune

Type 2 board if I remember correctly

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
