Hey guys I'm from Brandon MB, I recently bought a 1993 GTR with my wife. originally imported from b-pro yadda yadda yadda. Its our third gtr but this is the first one that we need a tune on. We have replaced everything on the car from -7's, splitfires with new iridiums, complete wiring harness, water pump, rad, thermosostat, all the sensors, mafs, 02's.  Runs like a dream no issues. although I want it tuned for safety either with or without the mafs ( go haltec).  If anyone has some legit good info on good guy tuners in Calgary please send me there number! I Wanted to take it to vex but didn't get along well with the guys as they told me to put my stock turbos back on because they can make 400 horepower and my -7s were a waste of money. Obviously still a great shop not bashing them just not going that route.  thanks boys happy new year. ill get some pics up of her very clean black 1993 gtr. feel blessed.

Thanks we have worked hard to finally be able to get into another gtr. I’ve blown the ceramics before at 1 bar. -7s spool awesome And sound great. just need someone to tune it now for safety and a better power curve, any tuners in Calgary or Medicine Hat that know these cars help a bro out? I don’t care about power just want a safe tune and want to use haltec and delete my MAFs. 

I was quite surprised when I called vex and they told me my -7s were a waste, probably because I never bought the turbos from them but oh well. They didn’t wanna take my money so looking for someone else now.

ya I've finally narrowed it down to a haltec ecu. my buddy owns the Toyota dealership here and just bought his own dyno for his big power supras. The boys are handy  using the haltec programming.problem solved gunna tune it ourselves as the haltec comes with a great base map. thanks for the help tho. cars ready to rock excited to see how far we can push it

messed aound with the haltec on our dyno for a few pulls got the car running nice with proper air fuel ratios.  still want to bring the car to someone that knows more than I do in the Calgary area.  Ive now talked to a few guys that have mentioned REV'D performance.  seem like good guys on the phone if anyone has anymore info shoot me a pm thanks!

also im willing to go to Edmonton for the tune but really don't have any connections in the area. car is completely setup ready for e85 just need the tuner now.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
