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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
