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!

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
