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.

    • 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
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
