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..

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
