'A tune' is not a fixed thing... so it's hard to shop a price for 'a tune'.

Nick at GT is good at what he dose and depending on how much time he spends doing what with your car will depend on what he charges you... it's not very common that a car will roll into his workshop with zero issues/problems etc and only needs 'a tune'.

Just go have a chatt with him, do as much of the preperation work your self as you can and book it in.

Mainly I just need an idle and boost spiking fix as the person who tuned my car struggled with those 2 things as he usually only does power fc's. I didn't have the problems before the tune so I am guessing it's in the tune. Thank you Justin :)

They're usually the two most time consuming things to get right... Idle issues could be almost anything and as for boost, I'd just install a turbotech boost T and solve all your issues all at once.



What else did you change before the haltech install and initial tune? I'd be looking at pressure testing your intake and looking for leakes/split hoses and or missing vac lines.... clean your iac motor etc and making sure your intake is all sealed up properly.



What's the idel doing?

The initial tune didn't have those problems, this is the second haltech tune but by a different guy.

The idle is just dying (mainly if you put the clutch in at 3k+ revs) and will stall at times or come very close.

The changes from initial haltech tune to this one:

850cc injectors

garrett 3076r turbo (with custom stainless intake)

bosch 040 pump

nismo fuel pressure regulator

I had heard boost T's were prone to boost spiking, is this just a myth?

Beau, in honesty you have changed alot between tunes.. you will probably find that your idle issues are as much mechanical in nature as anything else. Do you still have your stock bov? is it plumbed in as standard? are you getting reverb back through the new intake causing map sensor spikes, is your tps set correctly?

Nick can fix it for you, just don't expect a tune will be the solution... sounds like the tune needs a good looking over though.

A turbo tech boost T is as reliable as you can get.... just don't buy any other type/brand of T. Again, Nich has them on the shelf.

Cheers

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
