I prefer tuning my PowerFC at Technik Tuning at Thornbury, speak to Dean Ong the master in Power FC/Autronic Tuning (and a good amateur drifter/racer). His number is 0401694883.

The reason I like about him is because he can tune for very good power increase - but without stressing out the car too much. Leaves some room for errors for example different temperature, bad batch of fuel, etc,. which could damage the engine! Also has plenty of experiences with R33s GTSTs.

Look a lot of people can tune PowerFCs seriously - its just that in my case, I wanted someone I could actually communicate with and discuss about what I really want, also someone who I can trust will look after the car, will diagnose things should anything need attention, etc,. rather than going just outright power.

Some Tuners I have spoken with seem to have this - 'I've been tuning for 3-5 years, how long have you been tuning cars for' attitude. Usually these are the aggressive tuners who gets the tune wrong, then charges you more to fix it. Just because they didn't tune every load site and does not take it for a Road trip as well to simulate real life loads and monitor the Knock levels - all of these things Dean at Technik will do included in fit and tune price.

Very happy with him indeed.

But others to look for are Race Pace and perhaps ICE Performance.

Thanks guys, any other suggestions?

why dont you tell us the tuner you have in mind, and we will tell you if they are any good.

hyper...h are only for people wanting to spend over 5k for a tune....and dont expect to get your hand controller back because the tune will be 'so good' that they wont want you screwing with it.

hypertech are NOT good from what i heard, heard that the main thing they do is chuck the knock warning level on the PFC from 60 to 80 and do a rough tune and charge the earth for it, i havent been there so cannot confirm this, what i can confirm is that gerald/nige at ice are 110% genuine and great blokes and do fantastic work, i was sitting with nigel the whole time he was doing my powerfc and i still havent required a re-tune and i can fang it whenever i want (within reason, of course on boiling hot days you cannot but meh, thats got nothin to do wit tuner :))

      r34's love to squeal

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
