Hey guys, My line is currently having a rebuild done with all the goodies. Running a T76 and power FC. I don't trust anyone in tassie to tune the thing, just after ideas of who would be best in melb to take it to. Heard good things about ICE and Race Pace, but not sure.

Cheers, Paul.

They are a different art form, although Ben is a great tuner and engine builder, there are good tuners that can’t build engines and good engine builders that can’t tune :(

Ben gets my VOTE!

where is this race pace joint?

There are a few guys here that know how to build a good motor, but as far as tuning it goes, 'the best' told me I wouldn't be able to get anymore than 280rwkw with a powerFC cos they are to restrictive. And I know that to be incorrect.

Will go with race pace I think. Cheers.

ICE will probably do the job, though they are just amateurs when compared to RacePace. I don’t know how much they charge for a tune, I do know you will pay top dollar at RacePace. So if you want a quick/cheap tune ICE might be the guys to see. While RacePace are quite expensive just consider the fact that they are the best import tuners in Victoria and possibly even Australia. So you get what you pay for :(

I cannot quote exactly what Ben will charge you … I estimate;

$150 / hour

About four figures for a PowerFC tune … of course I could be wrong so ring them!

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
