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

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.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
