Hitman is an awesome tuner!! He tuned my car as well, and he did an excellent job!! I did both a road tune, and a dyno tuner to touch it up! He charged a very reasonable price :D

He is on the forums.. nick is Hitman!! :cheers: I don't think he browses the site very often though... not sure if he'd respond to PMs either... probably would? His number is 0417 259 391 if you'd like to give him a call ;)

I had a slight increase in fuel ecomony, but my driving style changes from day to day... lol!  it depends on how much i'm boosting per tank! :)  as for smoother response.. i got 12.9secs worth of smooth response! :)

HEYA, thats alright, and what mods are you running other than the PFC?

Power FC in my GTR was installed and tuned by C&V by the previous owner it seems not to bad of a tune but I'm not pulling very good mph at the drags for the power I have compared to other GTR's.

Price from CRD was $1200 that's including adjusting cam gears and dyno tuning time . Bel wants $350 for a road tune and it take's them a couple of hours . I've heard good stories about both shops but I've also heard a few bad stories as well so I'm not sure who to go to yet . I soppose can't go wrong with either .

SAS across the road from from CRD and near Advan is soppose to be very good also for tuning the power fc's .

should also mention unigroup who are good with Power FC's also and have installed and tuned a fair few and I've spoken to alot of people who are happy with them . Only thing is they need to use a hand controller cause they don't have the proper software like the other's.

My car was originally tuned at C&V when I bought it and the tune was OK.

Then I had it tuned by the hitman who cleaned the tune up a bit. good bang for your buck at around $300

The the PFC was tubed by CRD when the injectors and FPR were installed and the car ran even better, Highly recommend, and Jim was very helpful. Lance not so helpful you do pay for it though, It costs around $600-$700.

Spoke to one of the people that own Bel Garage today. They charge a pretty reasonable fee, and its not something thats through the roof.

What they said to me was that if you have a bigger turbo, injectors etc, then it usually cost more cause they have to configure more obviously.

Other than that, got to go make some inquiries to the so called "HITMAN" ? However just have to wait for my exhaust system to be complete before going ahead with my tune :P

Cant wait!

How long did they spend on it.. 9-5 2 days straight? I know where they (CRD) could stick $1,200.

My car hasnt been tuned by them yet but yes they did quote $1200 for tuning and adjusting cam gears. Lance said they needed the car for the day but I doubt they would be working on it all day. The tune really only needs a clean up and they would have a fair idea of what cam setting's actually work by now so yeh they are very $$ compared to the rest .

Exactly, they (and other shops) work on these similar cars everyday and know pretty much straight away what direction they should be heading in, it's not like it would be 100% guess work for every single car (even though engine to engine would vary in the same model cars) but not enough to require $1,200 worth of "labour".

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
