Hey guys, has anyone here used ChipTorque (at Nerang) for their tuning? I was recommended to go to them by a mate at work... he reckons one of the guys there is a "Skyline freak". :)

Tried searching but no hits!

Anyone?......

(I'm just researching to see if there are alternatives to the ubiquitous PowerFC...)

I have a mate with a fairly hard core WRX who loves Chip Torque.

On the PowerFC, I also did the research and given you can get one for about $1K with hand controller and it just plugs in without any wiring its pretty hard to beat.

Spoke to them today, their solution for R34s is.... a PowerFC. So basically they offer what the other workshops offer although I must say they sound like they know what they're doing over the phone.

Apparently they tune lots of Skylines there so I might check it out a bit further. They're getting back to me with a quote for the various things I'm planning to do.... (PFC, FMIC, pump, injectors, AFM).

G'day jmac. I haven't seen you around. You may wish to wait a week or so before looking at aftermarket ECU. Dan (666DAN) has ordered his new programmable ECU from http://www.bikirom.com

As you can see, the price is far less than the brand name alternatives. They have just finished testing them on ER34's. Once Dan has his installed and tuned, assuming it all goes well, a few of us are going to get one. He has pretty similar mods in mind to you.

Hey choyda... I've been lurking in the shadows... :)

Seriously this forum has been an awesome resource for me, only had my car since Feb this year but I haven't come up with one issue that someone wasn't able to help me with here. I'm planning to get out to cruises/meets/track days and stuff a lot more but want to get my vee-hickle running just the way I want it first.

I'll definitely be waiting at least a week... payday y'see... and would def be interested in an alternative to the PFC provided there aren't "issues" and I can get it supported ok if it fries its little brain.

I guess the FC is attractive in that lots of ppl seem to have them and know how to make them do stuff. But just because lots of people run Windows doesn't make it the best OS around either....

So keep me (us!) updated on Dan's exploits, $300 vs $1000-1200 is a convincing argument. :)

Rob is the Skyline Freak there, he goes by the username of rob82.

Chip Torque do good tunes, Lochlan would be rated in the elite tuners of Australia.

If you think about it he designes ECU's piggybacks and stuff so he must have an idea how to get them working properly.

The only downside is they are not cheap!! You have to decide on how much your willing to pay for a tune.

mate,

i rate chiptorque higher than any other tuning shop in qld. the fact that mazda contacts lachy to write their program for FACTORY cars should be enough to confirm their reputation.

Go with them!

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
