I gave up tring to find someone who was confident to tune mine R33

So I sold it, and just fitted a Power FC like all the other cows in the heard.

Try mercury motorsport, they have done a few.

hey thanks darren...will check that one out...but i dont think he has a dyno though.. that's where nathan took his to tune his EMS on the startlet...but will check that one.

i was hoping Mercury would be able to tune them...i was wondering if they have all programs needed or i still need to bring mine that comes with it ?

thanks for all the help guys....it seems like only a few people here uses Wolf 3d hey ?

I'll give another vote for Matty Spry at PITS. He's good, and damn reasonable too. I was only charged for 2 hours of tuning (at a discounted rate anyway) when he'd spent over 6 hours on it without being able to get a good result power wise. Turns out another company had buggered something up, so it wasnt even his fault but he still only charged for a very reasonable price.

Put it this way, I opened my wallet and pulled out money to pay 4 times what he ended up charging... I was pretty chuffed :)

Also the reason PowerFC is more popular than Wolf3Dv4 is that PowerFC is much better at copying the stock ECU for things like idle-up with A/C and headlights, climate control unit, etc. Wolf has better options for things like outputs and inputs of various devices, including (I believe) MAP sensors. PowerFC makes another version (Called the PowerFC Pro or something?) which is just a PowerFC with the ability to run a MAP sensor instead of the MAF sensor.

Yep he can definately do the Wolf... A mate on here had his done there... He is located on the Gold Coast... Ring him for the address...

Matty has been tuning for a looooong time... Previously from Chiptorque... I've seen him work some wonders...

Hes not too bad, hell if he can fix Andrews car!!!

I wasnt sure he could do wolf, but that confirms that he can. At least give the guy a ring. Techincally tho, all of the systems are much of a muchness, if hes good at one, hes going to be good at another, its just if there is a problem somewhere is when things get slightly trickyer trying to find out what special feature to use to fix the problem.

With the popularity thingy tho, the wolf V3 wasnt so popular, now the V4 is out they seem to be doing a lot better, especially as they now have the plug in (like pfc) version, it seems its a really big insentive, really it means no one can bugger up the wiring, unless it was already like that.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
