CRD are one of the preferred Power FC tuners in Sydney, however they will most likely require your car for the best part of a day to do a comprehensive tune - 9648 4264

Unique Autosports in Castle hill are also very good with Power FC's - 9634 8000

Both are open weekends

Hey Burto

I would definately suggest that you go to Sydney. We have never had good experiences with tuners in Newcastle. Also, there are no 4 wheel drive dyno's for your gtr (pretty positive) in Newcastle. I always take my car to CRD. It's worth the drive and the $$. Even if it does take most of the day you can hang out there and check out all the cars, or go and see the sights of Sydney (seeing you have just moved over here).

Cheers

I had my SAFCII Dyno tuned @ Pulse Performance in Newcastle. The tuner there is meant to be good *I had great results with them* & they do sell and tune Power FCs. One of the guys @ Pulse owns a 430rwhp r33 GTST *stock internals im pretty sure* & i seen another 2 skylines in the shop being worked on when i was there too *a r32 & 34 GTR*.

Look up Pulse Performance in your White Pages i guess, they are in the yellow pages too.

The only workshop to trust in Newcastle in terms of tuning Power FC is Premier Exhaust & Performance.

Rodney used to work for Dave Alexander (Silverwater Automotive Services) so he performs a pre dyno checkover. They put the car on a truck and the car is tuned in Sydney at Sliverwater Automotive Services and returned to the workshop in Newcastle. It takes the pain out of getting to and from Sydney and it gets you to jump the waiting list...

I would definitely reccomend this way as i did it and was very very happy with the results (440 HP at all four wheels). You would be surpised how many cars initially tuned at CRD end up in the hands of Dave at Silverwater Automotive.

Go see the boys at Ferry Rd. Sandgate, theyll helpy you out.

If you dont feel like going to sydney & probably paying bigger bucks, Check out Pulse Performance on Broadmeadow Rd. I've just got retune with them & very happy with the results, the Tuner there is Josh & he know's his shit with Power FC's. I highly recommend you give them a ring. 4962 4972

Owww & my latest Tuning results is located here

Cheers,

well scotts dyno got  165.2 @WHEELS FROM MY R32------- u r from newcastle --yes

I can honestly say that pulse performance do a great job....and josh there certainly knows power fc.

I have been sooo burned by shops in newcastle before....eg.....yeah we can tune ya car then later that day getting calls saying ya car was spotted in sydney then finding out later it wasnt tuned down there...ah so nice of them to clock the kms up and add that bit extra onto the bill.

Pulse have been pretty straight up....no bullshit.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
