every tuner has their share of groupies and fan boys so of course everyone is gonna recommend different tuners and say something bad about another.

go with whoever you feel comfortable with, suits your budget and is near you (unless you don't mind travelling further for them)

generally if the tuner is down to earth and friendly, it means good service. if they're pricks and think they're better than you just because they're a tuner, i'd walk away. (alot of big time workshops have this attitude cause you are just small fish and only need a tune).

i've used powertune before, wasn't the best experience/service, however Jez - wonderful service and a friendly fella, you will not be disappointed.

would've went to JEM before powertune but they couldn't fit me into their schedule,

Thanks for everyone with there input to this subject I had a chat with dean from jem very nice bloke down to earth I will keep everyone updated when the car comes back with the new dyno sheet up in this suction

Don't get too caught up with dyno figures though. I think JEMs dyno reads pretty low compared to others and also Adam will tune for excellent driveabilty for the street.

When I had mine retuned by JEM after adding a bigger exhaust and intercooler I was disappointed to see that the killer wasps had actually decreased compared to the number I got from a previous dyno (albeit a hub dyno).

Once I drove the car though, there was no doubt that the power had increased enormously all through the rev range.

Some places tune for Dyno numbers, Adam at JEM will tune for exceptional driveability and real world results.

Just my 2 cents :)

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! :/

Haha nice! That is always a good thing :) I talk pretty highly of them, there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff they have done to get my car to where it is that is not shown on the forum etc...

In saying that, i also support the suggestions for DVS JEZ in here and always will as he has been nothing but willing to help for me and many other SAUers on here :D

Thanks for posting this. Could I impose for more detail about the set up that was tuned at Envy and whether it's exactly the same that is going to be tuned by JEM and some detail about motor?

Valves - [oversize or standard size]

Intake manifold and throttle/s [standard or oversize aftermarket]

Intercooler [what size brand]

Head - Ported and polished

Block - [standard or grout fill]

Oil pump - [brand]

water pump - [brand]

Turbos - -5s [what A/Rs and are they antisurge impeller housings]

Compression ratio

Exhaust system incl manifold

Crank - [standard, work done or aftermarket]

Pistons - [forged but are they teflon and/or ceramic treated]

Rods - [brand]

Wastegates - [standard or modified]

Fuel [E85, but what set up]

balancer - [standard or a/m]

A/C still on?

Computer [Haltech ?]

Any lightening of driveline components?

Was the car tuned in awd?

Sorry for the million and one questions, but this will make an awesome thread for others to get reliable data from once the new dyno sheet goes up. Thanks again.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
