No worries mate just ring him ahead of time and see what time suits as he is always extremely busy (which is a good sign!) I know he will be able to help you out :)

After this is over I need someone a bit closer that knows what he is doing :)

My mob is extremely busy :)

In theory these guys have to hand over a product that works correctly to a satisfactory standard otherwise they have to fix it at no charge, providing there is something actually wrong and in this case there is.

They sound like they are messing around and not being professional about it. If I had a customer traveling 350km to pick up a vehicle I'd ensure it works 100% before handing over the keys.

Secondly, get the password removed from the tune on the ECU if your warranty is only verbal as it won't count for squat unless it is in writing. If they claim intellectual property that is BS because there are plenty of reasons why it can't be.

Hopefully all gets resolved quickly and not at much more of your expense. Otherwise I'd be going further with it.

I have been in a few similar situations and if I do not get this sorted to my satisfaction it will go further and I know exactly what action I must take.

As much as I feel stuffed around I have to give them a chance to sort it out, they asked me to bring it in to them, so before I go all legal crazy I will give them a fair chance to fix it. Up until this build they have been very good, I guess this is what hurts the most. Being pissed around for over 5 months, it is now 7 months and still being stuffed around, it grinds you down after a while:(

I was busting to get my hands on the car and when I finally did, it was a heap of shit!

As for the ECU, it is mine and I paid for the tune that was done for my car . I have no IP agreement with them. I want it unlocked so if I want a totally new tune on the car at some time in the future, I can have it done. Who in there right mind would want to steal this tune, it was done for my car, using the bolt ons I have, what good would it be????????

Yeah as said above and maybe get some printouts from JEVS to put up so it can be looked at on here, id like to see what a good and poor tune looked like on a graph ;)

Ouch I hope they can sort it out.

I hope mines goes a little smoother

yeah, been a little messy, just hope it gets sorted so I can enjoy the car.

Distance is the killer with all of this :(

we are going to do a little long distance tuning, computer to computer to ECU program ,make some changes

Going to put the new plugs in, number the old ones and take some pics of each one for the tuner to look at, probably give him an idea if one or more are running differently to the others ?

Its more does the tuner know the ecu well, the cock head that blew my motor said he tuned plenty of Autronic's however seeing him tune he didn't know his was around at all.

Motor blew on the dyno whilst he was fcking around with the timing :( the whole time he never used a knock listening device

The tuner sent me an Apexi Power FC Hand Controller, we worked on Face Time and made some changes to get it working enough to get me to Sydney, thats why I said "sensitive little suckers", from my experience, not worrying about anything, just a comment :)

I like tuners who tune without afrs or you know winging it

    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is [email protected]   
    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
