Hey guys,

This question might've been asked already...sorry about this but I need to know where GTR owners recommend their car to be tuned. I'd be casing a tuner with a 4wd dyno.

I've had my previous GTR's tuned at Croydon Autosports in the past and they do a great job but money is a real issue for me now and they can be expensive.

I was thinking about taking it to Autotech at Granville....

Is it really worth saving a few dollars on a very expensive car and go with someone that not as well regarded or had nearly as much experience as Jim at CRD???

in the long run it will be cheaper to pay a little more up front, than have to worry about some back yard tune.... Rebuilding a Tough RB26 can cost big money, Trust me I Know!!!

I am not doubting Autotec's ability to tune a GTR, but i can guarantee that they wouldn't have tuned a third of the amount that Jim has... Experience is everything

I'm using Adam from JEM, I'm pretty sure if you speak to him he could hire a 4wd dyno as his is only 2wd

All he does is tune all day everyday no mechanical work so you'd be hard pressed to find someone with more experience

http://www.justenginemanagement.com/ I've always found 100% honest, fair and a great tuner which is about all you can ask for :rofl:

i had mine tuned at HITMAN. I thought he was pretty good. just like boofiveters tuner all Matt (hitman) does is tune. so he certainly knows his sh1t.

no 4wd dyno though, but i'm sure he could get to one.

I had mine tuned at two places(RUF PERFORMANCE and a mate who tuned a few cars before) before going to CRD

Jim done the best tune buy far,the car feels like it has a factory tune in it and he got more power out of it then the orthers did.

Im running a POWER FC,4 inch exhaust,cam gears,pods,everything else is stock (GTR R33 LM) and it makes 250klw at all the wheels,it ran flat 12s on street tyers at the creek 2 weeks ago dont waste your money go and see jim

I had my old 33 gtr tuned at bel and it ran 11.7 @121 mph @wsid on 18" street tyres . The only mods , full exhaust , power f/c and 1.2 bar boost , everything else stock , even stock airbox .

Ben knows his stuff and he has the jap software for power f/c's .

He doesn't have a dyno but he is moving very soon and then he will have a 4wd dyno .

When i finish my r34 it will be tuned by bel , thats for sure .

I would have to reccomend Advan Performance in Silverwater, they are the only one's who i trust with my car and they have made some very good and reliable power out of GTR's eg. one particular R32 GTR running a T78 426kw atw they only have a rwd dyno but they pull the front shaft on GTR's for tuning. they know GTR's inside out :D

They are good but you have to $$ if you want to go there to give you an idea , price of a install for a boost controller $1000 inc tune . My face after he told me ... priceless .

so you're the GTR that ben talked about :wassup:

You can get dynos to read whatever you want them to , the proof is on the track .

we have another 33 that ben tuned it only makes 290 kw @ all 4 but it did run 11.33@ 124 mph , so there you go .

Exactly, Jerry. There is more to it than just max power. I bet you that 33 makes more average power than one with a higher peak power figure.

It does definatly come down to the area under the curve but that doesn't mean you can't have a relativley high peak power with good mid range etc too.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
