OK did sound like a cool story. While we are judging some of you need a hug.

Well, to be fair, you need to back up what you claim, otherwise, it's just another cool story. You have to appreciate that many a joker will jump on a forum, make a lot of claims about a particular business pretending to be a happy customer when in reality, they're a part of the said business. Hence if you take a look at my thread, I posted the graph along with my post, just to keep it all legitimate.

Getting back to your tune, looks like you got 2kW more than I. Must be those funky little black things from AsM. :P I was curious about how they sound but if it sounds raspy, I might just stick to my Megan Racing muffler and leave it alone.

How much did CRD charge you for the dyno tune?

Personally, I didn't notice any throttle lag in my 2009 and no change after the tune either.

As for the gear shifts being snappier, I'm curious about this because mine feel the same but I usually shift down a couple gears in preparation for my squirt anyway - always on the ready. :P

I had the Auto /Tipronic and I never bothered using the Tipronic as the Auto change was sharp, put your foot down and would get you going real fast, shocked a lot of young blokes with the response of this car, the twin Turbos made it very sneaky :woot:

haha, 250 at the wheels helps... 180 not so much :)

But I traded a 300ZX TT, it felt better than the ZX before the TT upgrade and I did not notice lag ?

It was smooth, but like most of the blokes on this Forum, I wanted more and when I got it , I think my dick moved :yes:

I don't really have lag with mine, but I find the auto can be a bit sluggish.

I'm pretty sure it adapts to your driving style though. If I drive a bit harder than usual first thing, it seems alot more eager to shift and when it does it's quite quick. Drive more sedately or in traffic and it seems to favour smooth shifts.

Just to add to this I am pretty stoked with the fuel economy improvement.

I was averaging 6.4km/l or 512kms per tank.

This is the second tank I had since the tune.

With this tank I did a return trip to Canberra at 588ks. The rest has been normal Sydney traffic and I have been driving it hard with paddle shift.

I reset the trip meter 5km after filling a tank. So its at call it 700ks with 160ks left to go on the fuel meter reading (which is always slightly overstated)

Even though its highway driving and different to metro I'm pretty stoked as normally would need to refuel halfway back and I'm home with a quarter of a tank left.

Sounds about right.

In my 2009, driving Sydney to Melbourne (and not behaving myself, ;) ) I got 10.58km/L on the first half and 9.29km/L on the next leg, according to my fuel logging app I use on my phone (MyFuelLog - check it out, really handy). As I'm a bit of a stickler for BP fuel, on the way back I made the mistake of not stopping past the BP in Albury, thinking there was another one further up north but they didn't have Ultimate 98 (and were closed!!). With the trip meter not being able to calculate the remaining distance beyond the last estimate of 30km, I ended up stopping past the Caltex further up and filled up with 69.01L on 663km, so you're pretty close to the mark.

Driving Sydney to Canberra last month, I got 11.88km/L on the return trip. City driving, I average 7.09km/L, again, driving somewhat enthusiastically.

Now, with all that good news, you still haven't told us how much the dyno tune cost. So, tell us the price!

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      By zoomzoom · Posted

      I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
