Thank's for the input guys... Not sure if those having issues when the car was tune at Protek due to time constraint (hiring other's dyno cost more not to mention trying to fit in other's schedule) or just a matter of other factor.

I have seen some good results and some bad results from a lot of different workshops.

There are a lot of different prices out there for tunes - but it does generally seem that you often get what you pay for. My guess is generally where a quote is half the price of somewhere else you will be getting half the time spent on your tune.

Be an interesting thing to hear if people know exactly how many runs were done on their tunes? Usually the runs are logged sequentially. I'm pretty sure on my last dyno tune (which was after a significant set-up change admitidly) was finished on run #32.

I'm not saying every tune needs 32 runs to get it right cause I expect most basic re-tunes to need far less. But I'd hate to have my car tuned somewhere that a quote meant "as good as we can get it in 10 runs". I'd rather go somewhere that would take the extra time IF necessary (at my cost obviously) to finish it off completely. And that could be the difference between a pretty good tune and a great tune.

Golgo was serviced and tuned by Chasers last time.

Was good tune - more/smoother power delivery, but as like others - it knocks a bit when running 1.1bar. Turning the boost down a smidge settles this.

just take it to ice performance, never regret it

I will say that Ice is very good in the fact that if you ever have any issues with tunes etc they are more that happy to take a look at it for you at no cost. I have had some minor issues and Nige has been more than helpfull, went to the extend of letting me drop my car at his place and driving it down and back for me! Now thats service!! :(

Just wondering if there is anything that can be done for an automatic with stock computer.

My car gives shitty gas mileage, much more than i'd expect. Wondering if replacing the O2 sensor would help.

This might be the wrong thread to ask.

Also managed to stall the damn autobox this morning. Does it ever few months, coming to a stop sign.

And also been having ongoing issues, with warm starts. doesnt crank over, after a short drive/stop. eg, petrol station.

Since it is automatic, rules out PFC. Think you can only use piggyback fuel controllers, etc.

How do people tune a standard computer?

Been in similar situation. Check fuel filter first.

Drove to Adelaide to get Martin Donnon to dyno chipped std computer at Morpowa as he was the only one I could find to do it.

Car used half the amount of fuel on the trip back at double the pace:)

Since been told "Dr. Drift" does them also but cant comment on outcome.

It IS off topic, there's an article in latest HPI about beefing up an auto. you can trick the auto with an electronic shift kit which will make your auto runs like a manual. you then have to shift it out of drive, 3 , 2, 1 yourself. Better try grab the magazine and have a read, the article is quite informative.

It's not about how much time you have, it's about how much dedication you have.  Ice worked on my car till 5am on Sat morning and moved the car in at 8:30 in the morning.

And look at the results.

That is dedication...

Not everyone has a financial interest in the business....

:) interesting thread... everyone seems to have their own input but doesnt really seem to be an unbiased nor overly constructive type input... more "these guys did mine good so theyre the best"... roys at least has some proven input which is good allbeit completely off the original question.

the original question was, who HAS had theirs done at chasers... not where did u get urs done and how did it go.

its like watching lawyers trying to grab business from someone whos just been hit by a bus or something lol

There should be... MV Automatics in SA should be able to help you out.

I only ment to ask, whether there is any benefit to taking the car to a (performance) shop that knows skylines inside and out. Will leave it be for now.

True :-)

No point for me making a paralel thread.... Genesis Tuning, Race Pace Tuning, etc... it'll be the same replies :-) But I've managed to get an idea from the responses and would aim for the best tuner. After all it's my baby's engine...

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
