I wouldn't think so.

My experience is a tune from scratch is over $1k and a retune around $400

I haven't used Autotech but pick up the phone and call them. (25c) :)

Jez on the central coast is good with Nistune's and I beleive reasonable on price

I was more than happy with the nistuning autotech did on my sr20det 1600. I got PLMS to supply the nistune with a base map loaded to suit my injectors/AFM/turbo, and got autotech to do the fine tuning. From memory it was around the $400-$500 mark and netted 220rwkw @ 14psi with drivability of a factory ecu.

Also had Nistune installed and tune by Ed at Autotech. Car has done many track days and hasn't skipped a beat 215rwkw (Silvia SR20DET)

Unless your going monster power is more than adequate.

He is very expensive but still cheaper than dragging your car to Sydney to get it done.

$500 for a tune? thats retune price isnt it?

would 350kw be classified as big power?

on a GTR

That's roughly what I've paid for every tune I've had done there, all have been retunes I.e. change supercharger to turbo, install bigger turbo and cams, fuel system upgrade. I guess the nistune was a retune as I was driving it for months on the base map no worries.

For my GTR i was quoted $1200 to re chip and nistune the ECU from autotech. $500 for a re tune if usually what you will pay.

I wouldn't classify it as "Big" power but it's a lot none the less. You don't really want much more than that for a road car. Unless you are a dyno dummy. But after that you usually have so much lagg/Too much power you lose most of the fun.

350kw on a GTR is effortless and not classified as big power.

I have a lot more than is necessary for a street car but I happen to like drag racing. Mine's also a lot more drivable than you think, you just need to go to some effort to make sure you set things up properly.

not sure how the nis tune thing works - but when it come to tuning you pay for what you get and Ed might be more pricey then others - not much - but he is worth every cent in my opinion - and has great results in a wide range of cars, engines and ecu's-

in my opinion put the extra in and go to him rather then saving a few bucks -

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
