Yep is is tuned for the mods you list. and you then go by your self to the dyno to get it checked, He guaranteed me if i didn't get a power increase he would write another tune for me after seeing the dyno sheet.

You can get upto 3 seperate tunes sent to you, dyno all 3 and keep the one that suits your car best and send the other 2 back but it costs a bit extra. He was confident he would get it right first time and he did.

Get it right? Or close enough?

Im not trying to sound negative.

But i cant see how someone in another state can tune your car based on what youve "told" them.

Its just pot luck, and it will never be the best tune either.

For $300 it wouldnt wanna be anymore as the tune will never be as good as paying for someone to do it real-time.

Considering you still have to go to a dyno to check, i dunno... im not convinced

What nismod says has some merit to it though.

He is right if the tuner is with you at the dyno you WILL get a better result.

But I did not want to pay big $$$ for a tune as mine is just a mild upgrade.

mabye i could have got a couple more rwkw out of it but I am happy with the results

And like nismod says, he can only go on what you tell him.

Keep in mind there are litrally 1000s of tuners doing it in japan this way, Including some big names.

and yeah it was $150 + $10 delivery + $30 to get the socket soldered in at a tv shop and $80 for the dyno run so all up $270

so the tune was really only half the cost.

I think nissan tune thier cars ritch from the factory, so theoretically its just a matter of adjusting the 'k' value to get the 12:1 afr, im a noob at tuning, so I have been doing a bit of reaserch with the goal of tuning my car, but I would guess this is all he is doing, then you can fine tune from there, I dunno, I have more reaserch to do, and to buy the equipment :unsure:

And what lean out your engine everywhere - thats dumb, thats why noobs shouldn't tune. To tell you the truth I have no idea how this guys sends his programs out every nissan we see at work either needs a fuel pump or the airflow meters are distrorting the real airflow value or the base timing is out 5 or 10 degrees or there is some dumbass idea typical of cheap nissan owners. The chances of getting the mixtures wrong is so much higher with boosted engines.

S/H Ninja - you said your AFM was maxing out before?

The stock AFM should max out at around 200-205 so it would have been well worth your while upgrading to a z32 and getting the appropriate chip to suit. Try winding 4th right out to redline and see if it actually gets there without cutting ignition. When the AFM voltage reaches 5.1V for 3 secs or more your ECU should automatically cut power.

Plus the most you'll ever see out of a set of RB20 stock injectors is 205-208 rwkw so those injectors of yours would be running at 100% or more which is dangerous if the fuel system decides to hiccup for a split second.

I was thinking the same thing, the afm hit max airflow before but now with more power, hence more airflow it doesnt cut?

Was the before dyno run done on the same dyno as the after?

Lastly, I see the run was done in "shoot 3" where usually it would be shoot 6F. Would that affect the power figure? Or is it just a ramp rate thing?

just been reading this topic and my question may apply somewhat

i've got a stock rb20det motor just turbo back exhaust on 10psi atm

i've also got a r33 s2 turbo which im going to be purchasing shortly and i have a fmic/kit which i'm going to be put on the same time as the turbo

with turbo back exhaust, pod, fmic, r33 s2 turbo, is it safe to run 1bar (14psi) without receiving any boost/fuel cuts.. would i need a remap or chip of my stock ecu?

Also why would you scrub out the Ambiant temps and inlet temps unless you have something to hide?

Me thinks you are only making 180rwkw and your tuner put the sensor on your exhaust.

LOL yeah I really need to do that. I dont give a F*#k what sort of power it makes. altho the dyno guy didn't even put the afr's on the printout so i wouldnt put it past him.

Car feels heaps faster and runs perfectly and I have had it tested with a wideband sensor and it is fine.

s*^t some of you guys are negative.

I was just happy with my results and thought I would share. Perhaps next time I will think twice before sharing my mods with others.

dude, you cant blame them for being negative.

these days you truely get what you pay for, and when something real cheap come along, people always think its a scam unless they see some hard proof. and the proof in this case has been tampered with.

I for one wouldnt trust someone over the web to tune my car. every engine is differant, 2 engines with the exact same mods will never make the same power.

just becarefull, cause the money you saved on a proper tune might have to go towards a new engine......

Steve

He knew what he was doing, and the risk. 200rwkw and a nice smooth curve on an RB20 is the result. Time will tell, but it looks like everything went his way this time. I wouldnt get it done, but congrats on the good result mate, thats a happy RB20.

Hey guys - slightly off topic but does anyone know where in Melbourne is good to get a re-map? I know of a couple of places that do it but I am really after someone reputable - I've heard of a 'few' stories of blown RB20s after having had a remap...which is what I am trying to avoid...!! Its not a matter of cost, I personally would rather retain a complete factory ECU rather than a PFC (if possible)...my car is an R32 GTS-t and mods are;

FMIC

HKS 2535

R32 GTR injectors

Q45 AFM

Walbro pump

Any suggestions would be much appreciated...!!!

Cheers,

Chris

    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"  
    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
