Any workshop that has a Z tune is serious about Skylines; publishes all their tuning figures online; holds Skyline's Australia nights and is willing to back themselves and tune a Lamborghini Gallardo custom twin turbo set up (pretty confident tuner). Very confident that Adam at JEM knows his stuff.

so, by your summary, every other workshop isnt serious about skylines because they dint have a z tune?

considering there were 20 z tunes released, I dont see how all the serious skyline tuners could own one.

I don't know how you came to that conclusion at all lol.

Ummm... "unique" take on one part of what I said. I thought we were talking about the better tuner and the reasoning to this little portion of my entire comment is that they are passionate about Skylines. In fact, passionate enough to source a bona fide Z tune, which is "one of the most" serious skylines out there. My experience... passion drives performance. Put as a simple analogy, would you hire someone that turned up to a job interview in a flannelette shirt (Don't answer it's rhetorical)

envy did it last tune

For what it's worth that figure with those turbos... the poor little things would have been choking for air. I had my R33 Gtr tuned there back in Brookvale days - boosted hard but the oil pressure light kept coming on and I had to back out. That was -5s 320kw. What boost did they get the 460kw figure at and was the knock sensor and oil pressure sender still attached?

Good choice. Technically not an argument when only one side though.

i think the next tune going to b jez but he is so far for me whats the address to this guys shop and number

I have no affiliation with either? Once you go to both, you'll be able to tell us which is "best" in your opinion.

Most definately can be achieved. Not easy though. Not sure what the oil pressure sender has to do with a good -5 result. :/

Interested to see a dyno sheet. No sender no oil pressure, usually follows no knock sensor Edited by TREGTR

Why so much doubt? There have been a few results that have done those numbers on -5's.

Hey mate my old dyno sheet is up in rb26 dyno results

My post numbers are pretty low and I haven't quite figured out how to access this info. Are you able to help me out with where to find it?

I recommended JEM, perhaps, in retrospect, I should have just put: JEM +1 without any reasons or ellaboration as to why I would recommend them to help you out. If you look back over other comments none have provided reasons, I did. I also did not say they were better, as I have no experience with DVS.

The dyno figure seems high that "Envy" provided for -5s, coming from a qualified mechanic that has built a few. In fact, one of my builds is going to JEM next week that is extremely similar to what you have, hence the interest. Also, from past experience there is a lot more to a good tune than just an outright Kw figure. My intention was to draw the focus away from the outright figure, as this often leads to disappointment when there is no longevity factored into the tune for a street car where your expected outcome "is not 460kw but higher" on that set up.

The intention was to assist - the responses make me wonder why I bothered in the first place. Welcome to SA for the new guy! :/

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
