Performance shops - tuning prices

[Nozila]

Hey there guys,

I just want to know if or have you fellow skyline owners got your car tuned at any performance place before, ie. tilbrooks/rpm. Im curious as I want to know what prices are involved, do they charge by the hour or by the particular requirements you need e.g. you want your safc/exhaust tuned?.

regards,

Dooky.

Depends on what you want done, for tuning or repairs you probably wont get a quote as it will depend on how long it takes.

For other stuff maintanence, exhausts etc you will probably get a fixed price. What are you looking to get done?

Just got a tune a tilbrooks and I am very happy. After paying someone else to do it first, and paying $175 per hour, I got an average result. I payed $350 to have it retuned, but she now runs better than ever before, detonation has gone even on hot days, better fuel economy, starts better, an extra 12rwkws. I have got no hesitation recommending them.

I 'think' they said a full power fc tune may run as high as $550, but as mentioned, you can't fix a price with that sort of thing.

Steve,

Welcome to Adelaide mate. Might need to fix your "Location" details

You mentioned a 12rwkw gain after Martin (I'm guessing it was Martin?) re-did your PFC tune, just wondering what the final power figure was & if you got gains throughout the rev range?

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks Whatsisname,

it was Martin - he is a bit of a gun with a power fc. I got 203rwkw. I cant find my last dyno since my move, but the biggest difference was over 4500rpm where the last dyno sort of fell over (the afm was a bit short of resolution).

Seat of the pants, definately better across the range.

I'll go and fix the location details now:)
