Roll Call: Need a tune? Smoky's from Top Secret Japan is coming downunder


Recommended Posts

This would be good to compare tuning houses from OZ to one of the best houses in Japan.

SUB ZERO

RIGOLI

RACEPACE/ICE

CROYDON

TILBROOK

ETC, ETC

Some one go get a really good tune at one of the big shops then go to Smokey and see if he can better it. I have my doubts as some of the OZ shops are quie impressive!

West, tuning is tuning...Smoky tunes all across the world. Do some research mate.

Tuning comes down to Air/Fuel ratios and timing.

aussie conditions? i think JAPAN has more extreme varients in conditions compared to australia so in return they do have slighter better fuel..

We already have the best tuner  :P

Benno @ RacePace

Gotta remember, the fuel over here is far different to what the Japanese would normally be used to :)

good mate then use him. This is open to people who know a little bit about tuning a car. I suggest for people like yourself wait for some results. They should talk for themselves, not me.

nismoid I didn't know Ben could tune F-con V pro?

lol, why would you bother?

if only a few here in Aust can tune it.... and then you do a mod to the car that requires a retune... you gonna pay for him to fly over again Brett?

Can you tune my car for me R31Nismoid

R31Nismoid actualy did a pretty good job on my car:)

I think its cool that he is coming out here to tune cars, but i suspect there could very well be better tuners locally for certain ECUs. The fact that he can tune the HKS etc ecus will help out some:)

Remember to take him to Kings Cross, The Bourbon & Beef Steal, a Parra V Bulldogs game and Parra Speedway, otherwise he will never really understand why we are the way we are:thumbsup:

R31 please post your negative thoughts and opinions to me at [email protected]

or PM.

sounds like you are full of knowledge. and yes I will be bringing Smoky here again and again, as the demand is there.

also if you change you I/C or plenum down the track Im sure it can work around his irregular visits for now, btw how often to you upgrade your car?

im not being negative in my thoughts.

read all my posts. i'm being logical, and realistic if anything.

I need not go over them again.

You NSW all seem to get up on the wrong side of the bed

I upgrade my car when i feel i can gain something more, or something is lacking

As with most people.

ok great. so if you could pm me with your ideas.

obviously you dont want a tune and you are supporting your local tuner which is great, good on you. I am bringing Smoky here because I have found from experience no one I dont care how long they have been in Australia (which has nothing to do with it anyway) All am going on is experience..and please tell me if i'm wrong but i beleive Top Secret has more experience with Skylines and performance cars for many more years that just about any tuner in this country.

things like tuning cam gears etc would take someone with 1000+ cars under his belt much less time to tune than a person with say 50?

not really. as every car is undoubtably different... 10 cars or 100 cars.

Yeah, some are similar and techniques used are of that nature also.

its a challenge from the get-go, and thats what tuners love im sure.

Each RB motor is different too.

I dont doubt his abilities at all. He is a well respected tuner in Japan. Im just not one too get too excited when things in Australia are just as good as OS, and if not they are getting there very fast in the past 2-3 years.

I doubt the japanese would get too excited if we sent one of our tuners over there who was just as good :D

They are loyal people the Japanese

I was expecting a PM. this is not a chat room. Can this thread please be locked, all geniune interest in tuning please PM or email [email protected]

i've got to do some work too...

if they were just as good im sure the japanese would be outsourcing...MOTEC is huge in Japan for many of the big workshop cars as its an excellent ecu, and is known as the cream of the crop, but they are still tuned over there.

Who made your TV at home R31? Japan is known for there electronics, so leave it to the professionals as they would say? enough said.

please lock the thread.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
