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".

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
