hey guys need some help on this subject. as some of you know, i'm driving a gtr 33 and have gotten the following parts to install on my car when i come back to oz.

power fc, avc-r, nismo fuel regulator, hks front pipe and hks cam pulleys.

anyone knows of a respectable tuner who will not blow my engine while advancing the duration of my standard cams pls let me know. i need a tuner who knows what he is doing with a gtr so that i will be able to extract maximum hp with the mods i have.

thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure Gavin could do all this. I asked him one day if he could tune SAFC's and he said yes. He's always got numerous GTR's in his shed too.

I guess the best solution would be to ring Gavin and just ask him if he could fit all the stuff you want.

hey tze you could'v told us you are buying parts oversea right now... :P

I would't mind some defi-link gauges, only wish if they sell them at airports or near it as I'll be doing stop overs at singapore for few hrs middle of january. :P

as for adjustable cam pulleys, do some search on SDU there were threads about turbos shuffle even with stock rb26 turbos as soon as you change cam timings with pulleys, more to do with twin turbos and factory non balance pipe ex manifold designs.

Since you are mainly after ecu tuner with the cam pulleys/power fc probably see lachlan at chiptorque? As most of other things are bolt on which can be done fairly quick at most bris shops.

i'll be coming back to singapore every 6 mths n will be able to take your orders then. are you saying that advancing the cam timing would destroy the turbos? i don't understand what you meant by shuffle.

anyways, defi-link gauges are not cheap here either becos u need to buy the computer thingie that records the gauges' activity n plays them back. without the comp, the gauges won't work. anyway, let me noe wat u're looking at n i'll see if i can get some quotes.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
