Hey guys,

I’ve heard of these tuners on the net that you apparently can send in the list of mods you have done and they tune it as best as they can. Then you go get a dyno run and check your mixtures and if they are not 100% you can send it back and they will adjust it for free.

The reason for me looking into this is its $200 and I’m trying to do up my r33 gtst as cheap as i can as i have a young family and I don’t have the luxury to spend thousands on my toy so its a slow cheap project.

I’m not planning for it to be to crazy I’m hoping to have a r34 side mount water cooled and 3 inch full system fuel pump standard air box with k&n panel

Has anyone had experience with these internet tuners what’s everyone opinion?

$200 fora R33... Sounds very wrong.

As above, if budget - 10psi is fine (12 can trip it out).

Nothing will beat a proper tune and 'mailorder' tunes will not be much better than a stock ECU as you have to be so conservative.

Normal tune $600-1500 depending on workshop.

Tunable ECU is between the same $500-4000 depending on brand.

Decent power depends on what you think is decent and again how much you can budget into it.

Reliable power and low budget do not mix at all sorry to say

With a budget build I wouldn't bother with injectors because they will require a tune

The stuff you have listed will be fine without a tune as long as you make sure it's 10psi and no more.

With a tune it would make a huge difference though.

I went a walbro 255 as they are easy to fit and no expensive. Got mine for $200 including the install

34 coolers are water to air?

at the power levels youve hinted to being able to afford right now, keep the standard cooler.

again, dont worry about fuel pump either.

just get a boost controller(electronic) and run 10psi, the factory systems should have enough leway in them.

start saving, and do a nice group of mods when you can afford it.

Hey mate

Best thing to do is contact Toshi

He is on SAU and is fantastic

Costs about $400

He will send you replacement ECU that he has socketed and rechipped for your mods

Very very accurate tune

He has done many tuned chips for so many different configurations of mods

My car is an R33 GTST running 12PSI and has FMIC and 3" with man boost control

I beat most V8's out there and air fuel ratios are spot on

Also great MPG.

If you need any help contacting him just ask

And for all you doubters out there I say come for a drive of my car (or a race!!)

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
