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

We will be in real time, I have the Haltech program on my laptop, it will be plugged into the ECU and he has the tune in his system. He will be utilizing Teamview and work directly from my ECU and his computer with all of the information he has at hand, hope it works OK ?

Did OK before when we worked on the old ECU, got me to Sydney OK

They lock them so no one can see their tunes, they did the same thing to my FC and Scott was able to get around it I would have expected more down low then that, you need to get someone else to tune

He wanted $$ for his time I told him to get fckd especially when we took the motor apart and saw evidence of massive detonation.

The motor had been dyno'd numerous times before and had always made very good power. In fact I did a comp test a few weeks before the tune and it was pretty much perfect.

Id tell everyone in Melbourne where not to go :)

Glad you are cool with that.

Sounds crazy to me. Not knowing what the car is a actually doing or what the Afr's are is risky business.

Perhaps they know the tune is crazy rich, so they will back it off to just heaps rich.....

Maybe I am not worried because I know shit all about it and figure if he stuffs it he fixes it :)

He will have the results of the used plugs to look at, that may give him an idea if one pot is worse than another.

The car will be running and he can see the ECU the same as if it was on the Dyno, well except it wont be in gear with load, but it can be revved .

Can they check coils on an ECU ?

It is going back for a re-tune and the other problems rectified. ASAP !.

Still not sorted?

Take it back to them ASAP. Just incase something actually goes wrong and the engine does go pop.

Yeah, still going but just having a quick look at what is happening with the tune and will get it in and sorted ASAP :/

Maybe have a bit of a read about Tuning and see for yourself. And sure if he's a good bloke he will foot the bill for blowing your motor up.

haha, your a skeptic mate :)

I could read up on tuning and still know nothing, sometimes, ignorance is bliss

I am in a situation where I have had a build and there are a few things to be sorted, the builder has offered to do this, so until this is done and as much as it is a pain in the arse I have no choice but to see what happens..

These blokes have made some pretty good builds and should know what they are doing, when humans have a hand in things there is always the chance of a stuff up :(

People make mistakes, no worries. But not admitting to them or fixing the mistakes is the problem.

Now you hit the nail on the head, my car should never have left the shop from the start, over 5 months waiting another week would have made no difference. What was on their mind to give me the car like that, I am farked if I know ?????????

People saying the warranty doesn't count for anything don't understand how Australian consumer law works.

CRD have a good rep for a reason. As said above mistakes happen. It's how the shop handles it.

If any damage has been cause or anything needs doing, expect it to be free of charge.

It's alright Peter, honestly shit happening is a heap more common than you would think. Just be patient and it will all get sorted. ;)

Just remember to keep CRD on your side. Pissing them off won't get you anywhere.

And trust me when i say i understand how you feel!

Yeah really good point - keep them onside by not going off your rocker but keep been a squeaky door so they don't forgot about it.

I am in NZ and I have heard CRD do some good work/builds. Would expect it to be sort and running mint. I think you should get more power out of 98 than you did and a $1600 tune seems a lot and not sure why it all wasnt done before it left the shot (E85 etc).

As Above

I am not worried about it, I know they will do the right thing. I also know what I am entitled to expect as a consumer. As I said, they asked me to bring the car in. The touch up we will do is basically to give them a look at the plugs and a chance to go into the ECU and look see if they can touch it up a bit before I take it in..

I am sure if you have read my posts I may sound frustrated but I do not dump on their work as they have done other jobs for me and I have been very pleased with it.

I dumped on the communication at times, I dumped on the time it was taking at times but until now I have not had cause to crap on their skills as mechanics. I cannot help what other people say. I do not think I have mentioned their name, but you blokes know when it all started :/

I know they read these threads and there is not much I have said on SAU that I have not said to them. As blokes they are always pleasant and easy enough to get along with, but the most frustrating company I have ever dealt with. I am lead to believe that many build shops can be a little similar but that does not help when it is your first real go at a build :)

Just want it sorted and be able to enjoy their work

I am sure they will be happy to see the last of my whinging arse :)

Hi Mat, I would have thought that $1600 would have covered a full 98/E85 flex tune , but it is my first build and have no idea what they cost and I guess it varies from shop to shop?

:unsure:

They have had 2 goes at it and it is still has a problem but they need more time to be able to go over it properly for the other problems as well as the tune .

Just dropped the car off to change the plugs and Rego, so I will be able to give them the info they want and then we can move on and sort it out ASAP :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
