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 have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
