As the title states, he requires 3 or more members with an auto r33 wanting a road and dynotune.

I'm keen on getting this done so you have your 1st

Forgive me if i'm wrong but for $700 that makes for a fantastic fun car

my car has

11psi turbotech

fmic kit

split dump, turbo back exhaust stock cat

pod with cai

For a good road tune with Nistune here in SA, you could try one of the developers behind Nistune. Is a SR specialist, but I've heard others had their skylines roadtuned by Pete: http://www.plmsdevelopments.com/

Pete from PLMS tuned Rolls (R32 RB25DET Neo Hi-Flow etc.) and my car (RB30DET, GT3076R etc) and did a fantastic job. Has plenty of experience with RB's from what I've heard.

VERY THOROUGH and patient. Pete wants the job done right and enjoys seeing the results as much as the owner.

Other tuners to note are Simon at Morpowa and I've also heard good things about Willall Racing.

Pete is excellent. Never had him tune my car obviously as I live in WA, but he was a massive help to me when I had my issues with my ECU. Incredibly patient and very very helpful.

Also consider Declan from Garage 7.

Very very easy going guy. Will answer any questions you have. Once you get him started on the topic of tuning, have a good half an hour spare to talk to him.

Declan uses a DynaPak in Pooraka and is very thorough with his tunes. He loves to see the results after a tune, more so than the customer some times i think haha.

Im doing nistune (Z32 ecu and R32 ECU) and realtime R33 ecu tune both.

But Nistune (Z32 and R32 ecu) do not work for AUTO.(his car is AUTO)

Only R33 ecu tune or HKS FCON Vpro except piggyback ecu.(Im not recommend piggyback for R33)

yeah, auto. All the quotes i had from a couple of the mentioned businesses were quite extreme for somewhat of a 'light tune' skyline. They seemed to have the common response of r32/z32 nistune while manuallising the auto. Piggyback route worked out around 11-1300 for install and basic tune, more for road and dyno or manualized auto with nistune was around 13-1400 with dyno and road tune.

It would either end up being a mail order tune, or SAFC tune. And Toshi's quoted price has been by far the cheapest so far

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
