Hi guys,

As the title says, im after a good power fc tuner to tune my EMS next month in Sydney. Its for an R33 GTST. You can post comments both positive and negative about your experience with your tuners, and would be helpful on why you went to them to tune your PFC?

Also how much should it cost? Should I also be changing things like fuel filter and sparkies before I go???

EMS = Engine management system (Power FC) :)

:) Thanks for the clarification, EMS also being a brand of engine management :D

Regardless, use the search function as this was covered less than a week ago.

CRD, RUF Performance and Unique Autosports springs to mind as some of Sydneys more reputable tuners

Hey Mr_G

Let me know where you get it done from and if its good or not.....If its good i'll take mine too ...

Will do buddy, there is supposedly some guy "David ? " in Kirrawee near SSPI (Flora St) who does Power FC's... Im going to have a chat to a mates dad who got his RX-7 tuned there, so ill talk to him regarding the tune... If not, I think I might be going Bel Garage @ homebush... Ill let you know though, ill get it done middle of next month

Hitman did mine.....and a few friends cars.....also a lot of the silvia boys use him.

$300 flat rate.

He does road tunes.....but he has opened up a shop in penrith and will be getting a dyno soon...

Hmmmm interesting, do you know when hes getting the Dyno for his shop?

yeah he should have it early next year...like Jan or early feb...

good tuner...and if your car only needs like a touch up tune after installing something new....he will only charge you like $80 or so.....DONT quote me on the price....but thats the figure he gave to me off the top of his head...it all depends on what needs to be done of course.

Yeah, I've never used HITMAN myself, but a number of people I know have and all were happy with his service. Don't worry about waiting for the dyno mate, there is nothing wrong with a good road tune. Ask yourself: "where do I mostly drive?" on the road or on a dyno?

I'd like to hear more about him being a local and all....

Well, the hitman is a sydney tuner. His nick stands for: Haltech Injection Tuning Man, and obviously he made a name for himself tuning Haltech ECUs. He has a website, though I can't remember the URL off the top of my head. As for him posting up, I don't know if he's an SAU member. Just google Hitman and tuning or something like that and you'll find him.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
