Cheapest would be to buy direct from Japan :)

If you want it installed then just about any competent workshop can do it as Apexi parts are bolt-on's barr the stuff that needs tuning. But even PFC has base maps to get you from workshop to the tuners.

I don't think BEL workshop has a dyno.

What are you getting? Probably best to get a price from BEL as their prices usually includes fitting/installation.

Bel are very good. there price doesnt only include the parts, it includes labour, full tuning (done in 50rpm increments), and part. Also they offer warrenty. As well as you just drive in - drive out.

They are located in Homebush and are recommended. Although they dont have a dyno (as yet) this guy had his car dynoed after bel had tuned the power fc and they were lucky to pull 5-10hp more out of it. Its nice to have it on a fancy sheet. but the real dyno should be done on the street in real situations. not simulated.

i suppose if you could always buy the powerfc through.. (nengun) then install yourself, and then get it tuned by ...(Bel) they charge $200 for full tune of PowerFC. but of cause u wont have the parts warrente because it wasnt installed and fitted by Apexi Excel Shop.

A dyno will also show you any problems that you have.

Road tune will not.

If I was to go to BEL and got a tune, I'd whack it on the dyno just to make sure everything was a-ok.

Do they use a A/F meter when road tuning?

i've heard rumours that there will be a new 'online' shop that will be able to offer cheaper jap performance parts comparable to Nengun with quick turn around time

You hear all the rumours don't you Linus :)

I can get anyone a powerFC for $1600 shipped brand new (at the moment only). However, not the R32/R33 GTR cos Apexi are out of stock till March.

Isn't Apexi Excel shop only in USA?

I don't think it applies in Australia but correct me if I am wrong please. :)

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
