dunno about dyno graph as power figure wasn't really important to me.

Nor me. I was actually interested in seeing what improvements/compromises Matt made vis-a-vis the original setup by comparing a before and after run. Outright figures are pretty useless except as a rough guide (IMHO).

yeah, when I go and do it I might plug the kakimoto back in for a run on low boost and then compare it to the PFC run on low boost. only as i don't really want to run the kaki on high boost without knowing what the ign map looks like. would be more beneficial to compare to a stock ecu, but I don't have one.

Anyone here used RIC SHAW performance at five dock (cnr parra road/lavender). He knows his power fc's since he's been using them for ages in his mazda's. I've spoken to him afew times and he knows his nissans too (i think he owns a skyline too).

I'm considering using him cause he's faily local for me and has always had goood results with friends cars.

Has anyone had any experiences with his work shop???

Cheers

haha jeez moaner, that narrows it down!! haha.

but anyway, yes Ric Shaw does have a number of fast drag cars from his workshop, but I think he is mainly into circuit.

:D nah.. i'm just refering to a guy that approached myself and wylie, at the shell just near that workshop... he proceeded to brag on about his car a little too much in a very condescending manner..... he said he worked at that workshop.. but not sure if its the same one!

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 have an r32 gts-4 i currently have a stoc computor but am getting a pfc soon.. do u know what hitman could do for me?

he could tune your PFC. I was happy with the guy.

Plenty of good tuners in sydney though, just read through this thread for peoples recomendations.

I had mine done yesterday at croydon.

Cost was $650 and he also tuned my boost controller.

A nice conservative tune with GREAT A/F ratios. I'm very happy.

Its only now I understand how imperative it is to spend a bit more on stuff like tuning. If its not done right, its going to cost big, in terms of rebuild costs. Im happier spending that 1-2 hundred more (which is really nothing in the big picture) and being content knowing that my car wont blow

ok lads,

just got back from a tuning session from Matt (hitman) top bloke..

went through a few things with me changed my plugs and stopped the misfiring i was getting.. fixed up a faulty wire on my boost controller,

and tuned for 13psi wich drops to about 10psi as the revs get up..

the computer used was Power FC of cause.. was tuned on a dyno...

and got 202.8rwKw and 192 on low boost from 9 psi drops to about 7.5 to 8 psi..

happy with the result, dn think was able to push over the 200mark but matt stated it was safe and nothing was maxing out..

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
