Educated Guess At The Final Tune Results


Nismo 3.2ish

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 :)

I would be tempted to stop at Jezs place on the way down and get him to run it up and see if he can find the problem before taking to them to see if they actaully do anything more then wack a new set of plugs in it

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 ;)

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 :)

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
