Hyper is in Malaga Vale St

Xspeed is Zeta Crs Occonor

Chipmaster is somewhere in maddington I think

once again, dont be stupid enough to go elsewhere :)

oks it's decided I'll go auto master tune my car :P

Hyperdrive sounds good...how bout gfx or whatever I saw this white R34 with groundeffects dunno what the heck that is but sounds like tuning company

sky34 where ever you go make sure they have a datalogger for your pfc as it will save a lot of time on the dyno $$$$ and where and tear on the car

without datalogger a lot of companies quote 5 to 6 hours

with datalogger at hyperdrive my first tune took less than two

thats a big different in $$$ at a $100 plus an hour

Sometimes what you pay is what you get. Let's say you go to someone who's not so good, you might have to go back multiple times as they can't seem to tune your car properly. So in the end, you pay more than what you thought you'd do.

A common case back home where i'm from. Take an evo 8 with motec. 3 times into the workshop for a dyno tune, each costing $400 couldn't settle the problem. 1 time at a more reputable workshop and with $900. Everything is settled and good to go. If he had just taken the more exp way. He'd save 1.2k. But of course there are always problems. Even the best of dyno tuners do run into a wall once in a while, so you can't really blame them. It's an art.

Oh yeah, there's an idemnity form if you didn't know, so if they blow up anything in your car, they arn't liable. And if your tuning is bad .. well they always tune it rich cause it dosn't blow ur engine as opposed to lean.. then there is a possibility that your engine will blow too. Factor all these in before picking out a place.

Just my .5 cents worth. :P

Basic R34 with PFC is an easy job most tuners can handle in a few hours max.

Yeah, agree with that. Hahah, my friend had a jun cams, forged pistons, Some aftermarket turbo i think a GT30R? But i'm not sure, and a whole lot of other goodies. 500hp with 600+ NM worth of torque.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
