I am looking around for prices for a tune on my car (RB25), it has a misfire above 4500Rpm and I've got bigger injectors to go in. The car has a Haltech E6K aswell as other things.

I jsut got back from APC at Underwood then and he said around 500-600 plus around 150 for fitting of injectors, possibly more. He would need to check it out first (beause of a custom plenum)

I think this is a bit dear??? What is everyone else paying, any recommendations???

For a retune of injectors only, I would say 500-600 plus is excessive. Having said that, I don't know much about what's required for any change in Haltech maps. But that price covers 3-4 hours on the dyno and that doesn't even include fitting the injectors.

I would get other quotes.

I've been told $200-$300 to tune up with different injectors.

Little touch ups, more boost, different turbo etc is $100-$200.

Depends on the tuner, some charge by the hour, some charge for a 'tune' regardless of time taken.

Some go that little step more and keep the car over night to get the cold/warm starts perfect.

Some charge and don't do anything special. :huh:

What I would do... Hang around.. Who cares if it takes a whole day.

At least you will see for your self exactly how long it goes on the dyno.

Take a camera, few vids pics etc.

i don't no whats involved with ur tune but....

i had to get my car tunned a few months ago,

they turned down the boost, played with a few other things and fitted new plugs,

all up it was on the dyno for 3 hours at a cost of $300 total....

was done by "Charlies Automotive"

don't no if thats any help....

As a rough guide from VIC prices $5-600 would cover 4-6 hours of dyno time.

Instead of asking places how much for a "tune", ask them how much they charge per hour for tuning time on the dyno and then ask how long they think it will take to get it running with the new injectors.

In VIC, some places have a flat rate for dyno time i.e $100-120 per hour whereas others will have a higher first hour surcharge and then a flat rate after that i.e first hour $150 then $70 per hour after that.

The best advice I can give is dont be shy.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
