i just got my apexi power fc from nengun for my s1 r33 skyline and i wanted to know what is a decent price for dyno duning it??

ive been calling around all day, and some of the prices are ridiculous.

get this:

i was quoted at 1 place $750 for fitting and tuning.

now fitting is nothing, remove old cpu, install power fc. what a rip off.

and plz let us know of some decently priced tuners in melbourne that can help me out.

thanx guys.

OK... i have a JAP power Excel software + Lap top interface, also have a 100 pages long of manual from Guild to Tune power FC form Japan too. I have paid someone to convert the whole Fuc*** 100 page to english too.

Now i am thinking of selling it... anyone intrested.

i called ice performance also, they werent to bad, prices start from $450 if i remember correctly.

havent called creatd, might call them.

i just didnt think dyno tuning would cost that much thats all.

thanx for the input guys. any more places??

i called P.E.T, ice, technik, JPC.

i think thats all of them

ask a workshop with a new 4wd dyno what they paid for it and you wont think the price is high afterall.

Sure, some of them can do it cheaper. But they are giving you a bargain basement price so you book it in.

They wont go into much detail with the tuning and you will end up going back spending more money because: " the cold start is shocking " doesnt idle properley " " bad economy " etc etc.

Understand these places are quoting based on how many dyno hours they estimate it to take. The average price is approx. $100-$120 per hour from memory.

A cheap price sometimes means a cheap tune. The factory engineers spend hundreds if not thousands of man hours getting the factory ecu to run as it does with the perfect cold start etc etc.

Dont kid yourself into thinking that somebody is going to come close to emulating this in a couple of hours.

oh, and if you look around this forum, in VIC, ICE has a excellent reputation and has obviously tuned a lot of power FCs on R33s.

Wont be paying them to learn how to tune it.

You would get a very good " tuning progress per dyno hour " ratio as there would be less head scratching.

ok then, thanx for the advice. ICE seems to be the favourite.

and thanx for the detailed answers.

i'll give ICE a call today and book an appointment, just hope its all worth it.

anyone know if i will be getting better fuel economy, cos at the moment its shocking

anyone know if i will be getting better fuel economy, cos at the moment its shocking

it should while cruising, yes.

my economy is dreadful, PowerFC going in within as many weeks and that should clear it up.

Others have had similar results

just got my car back from Creatd.

I swear Rob is a genius.

i got a 42rwkw gain just with my power fc and excellent tuning.

i had 178rwkw when my safcII was dynoed last year and i got 220 rwkw today with the power fc. im rapped.

as soon as my digital camera charges i'll post the dyno sheet

current mods are:

3" exhaust from turbo,

600 by 300 by 76 fmic

dual stage turbo smart boost controller

pod filter

power fc

excellent tuning

and still on stock turbo

i'd recommend Creatd to anybody

thanx Rob

how much did creatd charge. 220 rwkw it shit hot from the mods u have

most poeple get that from hiflowed turbo. very good

i paid $300

im very surprised with the results, but happy.

and the car runs so much more stable,. smoother and feels a hell of a lot more reliable

we'll see how the fuel economy is

how much did creatd charge. 220 rwkw it shit hot from the mods u have

most poeple get that from hiflowed turbo. very good

220rwkw is way too optimistic... if you had a bigger turbz i'd believe it.

But as long as the car feels better, dont worry about high reading dynos. Driveabllity is more important

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
