Hi All,

Want to hear from the fellow SAU WA members about their experiences getting their car tuned.

My build is almost finished I've started looking at tuners. So far I have 3 tuners in my list and which i'd like to hear about others opinions. 

  • PZP
  • HyperDrive
  • Tune Corp

Any input would be much appreciated

Hyperdrive have tuned my RB26 for the last 13 years. Stock motor making 600rear still going strong.

Andy can get pretty busy but know's his Nissans.  

Tunes all the usual too, powerFC, link, nistune, haltech, motec etc etc

Thanks for your reply mate. I am leaning towards Andy as well.

Very few people who I'd trust in WA to tune, but also have a GTR in their care, even the usual recommendations a bit hit and miss lately from feedback

drop names please haha

The shop I used in Beckenham returned my car like this.
It's a small sample of the amateur work done 

Turbo oil drain fouling on turbo manifold, look at it beginning to bubble up.

Brought them a brand new gearbox to fit, they put no oil in it and Dynod it like that.
They told me to not let it become a subject of an online forum discussion

Drove a 50mm long bolt into the RB26 fuel rail mount thread replacing the existing 40mm Plazmamann one already in there.  It bottomed out onto coolant rail, mount snapped, proceeded to Dyno car with snapped fuel rail mount.  

As I like to make fair assessment, I bought a spare manifold/spacer assembly and on the bench I was able to mock up that the installed bolt was indeed too long and caused the failure.

Be careful on your choice and ensure you get good work regardless of who you choose.  You earned the money fairly.

Sorry to hear the terrible experience you've had with the dyno shop man.. the only 'reputable' shop in Beckenham I can think of starts with C...

 

Grant - https://www.facebook.com/gsautoworksau/   for mechanical work. 

Rob Turner also does top work and will tune also. 

 

Both shops get very busy though and often cost a bit more due to the fact only quality leaves. 

Then as I said Hyperdrive a great option for tuning.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
