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".

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
