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!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
