take a while to respond to emails but reasonably helpful

A lot of places are the same (myself included) but if you ever call up Jamie is EXTREMELY nice and helpful.

In fact they are getting my old (and the missus' current) Legnum on Wednesday for some lurve.

They are expensive but they seem very thorough and I'm sure they would do a proper tune.

ie not just a WOT tune for power

As I drive this car a lot for work I want a proper all round tune which does take a long time to do properly so I still will consider taking it to them.

They seem very professional and thorough

But yeah $1700 is a lot of money for a tune

Yeh dude, any good workshop will do a 'proper' tune though. I've never had a problem with any of the tunes I've had at Allstar, Hyperdrive, or Garage 101. My car idles almost like factory apart from the slight note from the cams, and that's with 1000cc injectors. And I've been getting 550-600km's to a tank of petrol for awhile now.

Where did you get your car tuned last time ????

How do you get such good mileage even with cams and 1000cc injectors?!

I've got an S1 25det with power fc, GTRS turbo, 740cc injectors, pod, fmic, full exhaust, nismo fpr and i only get max about 360-380 usually in a 32 with a lot of highway driving. Tuned at Allstar after turbo kit was installed. This was during previous owner, have receipts. Oxygen sensor seems to be with voltage spec according to hand controller readouts.

There's your issue. Ditch the O2 sensor and lean out the cruise mixtures. Biggest fuel saving is the boost transition cells and the throttle enrichment, if you can get your tuner to spend a bit of time getting those set up well then you'll get decent economy. I actually get worse economy driving on the freeway or anywhere around 100-110km/h, the engine just revs too high. I get best economy just driving around town at 60-80km/h.

I get around 9L/100 with O2 feedback turned on.

I do 298km a day to work and it generally takes just under 30L

I've got cams and nismo 740s on power FC. Even during the 1200km run in period before tuning it didn't use any extra. I almost never get onto boost going to work.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
