Im looking at getting My ECU tuned by toshi for my R33 to improve power and driveability with my current mods and was wondering if anyone else was intersted to see if we could get a group discount?

Who is Toshi?

We have some awesome dynotuners that'll tune your car, in person, on actual dynometers, for really good prices...

Not sure if anyone would be keen on a 'mail order tune'?

Me personally, I'll stick to boostworx/willall

Every car is different. You can use a tune from another car with similar mods as a starting point but then change it to tailor your car. The car he bases uour tune on may be in better or worse conditon, which means it wont work correctly in your car, etc.

+1 stick to a local tuner that you can go and see and talk to. That way you can ask them questions and they can do a touch up if something isnt quite right. They will also be able to tell you if your car isnt responding to the tune very well...unlike a mail order tune.

I think he want to cheaper tune .

Mail order tune is only $400.(R33 ecu tune)

Yes , real time tune is better than mail order but my mail order tune is much better than like a mins , Blitz etc ecu.

Because my tune data is for Australia fuel.

If I come to SA and real time tune (R33 ecu tune) from $600 R33 ecu exchange (min 3 people)

I think local tuner $1000-1200 plus Z32 ECU around $100-200.

local tuners fit nistune board and tune for around 6-800.

Nistune board is $242 plus install $60 total $302.

Z32 ecu need modified for R33 cost $60-80.

Z32 ECU $100-200.

So just ecu $462-582.

How much is dyno tune?

Is SA very cheap?

In Sydney around $150 /hour.(around 3-4 hours)

spot on Dion. When I was calling around getting quotes, I got told around the $1K mark roughly. Just go a power fc or nistune :P more headroom for when you want to mod the f**k out of your car :D

I think he do not want to spend over $1000 for ecu.

Im using nistune product (Im nistune dealer) but some customer do not want to spend over $1000 for ecu.

So Im doing chip tune and nistune both.

Chip tune and nistune is exactly same performance.

i was going off rb20 ecu nistuned. i paid 700 from boostworx.

i would still pay 1k and have a remappable ecu, instead of 600 chips each time that are close to a proper tune (maybe)

and yes, poor man pays twice

I paid a lot less for the above and even had a new o2 sensor my was shagged

Classic chassis - ashley hook me up , but need a metal cat and injectors

And cam gear tweek before a decent run in tune , right now its a base tune only , the car

Was amazing compared to the stock nissan tune

Actually drivable torque monster 343nm to 503nm jump from base ecu

On low nissan boost and high flow cat failing at 6400 rpm still had 1000 rpm to go and making power still with rock solid boost from 3 k

I thought yours was tuned local? Boost work, or speed lab.

Does toshi dyno tune or road tune the car?

he does both, road tune then takes is to the dyno to check power and tweak it a bit if need be

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
