Well anyway back on topic...

Who does the tuning at BD4s, is it Tom or the other guy?

I just found out from my HK buddies that to get the HKS gear tuned it costs them almost $5,000AUD

They get some guy from Jun in Japan to fly over and do the tuning... imagine if that was the same here :(

Jim at CRD tuned my car, I found that the car had more torque off boost and less black soot build up on my rear bar compared to the previous road tune.

The car started pinging after about a 2 weeks (bad fuel?) and Jim spent about half an hour retuning it - at no cost – and it hasn’t pinged since.

I haven’t been to BD4’s

Pity your car wasnt ready to tune a few weeks ago Stan.

Just Jap had the owner of Autech Japan out here and he is an F-CON tuning guru.

now here's the question.

Was it bad fuel or a bad tune in the first place?

If it was just one batch of bad fuel, couldn't you put it back to the earlier/ better tune once you put new fuel in? Or was it tuned without sufficent margin for safety on the road, taking into account variable fuel, hot days etc.

Did you get a dyno graph from the first tune? what were the AFRs? How much base timing?

    • I know it's been YEARS but hunting down that trunk lip spoiler!
    • Absolutely nothing wrong with a Profec or similar. He's on a Nistune, so external boost control is a better option anyway.  
    • I would not replace the gauges. A well setup tune should never require any of that. I'm of the opinion that if you can't safely hand over a car to your parents to drive it's not fit for purpose and more engineering work should be done. Honestly I'm not a fan of external boost controller boxes either but if you have to you can shove the controller into the glovebox or something once it's set up. Tee it off the OEM MAP sensor. Also you probably want to put a two pin plug on the new solenoid, bolting it to the OEM location works. Just separate the wastegate line and compressor outlet so it will work on a 3 port solenoid, kevboost was walked through how to do this on an RB26, same idea just different locations on an RB25. You may have to remove the restrictor in the OEM hoses if they're still in there. 
    • Yep, it's why in Australia we never brought in the 1 child policy like China.  China can't afford to use the shit they make in their own country as it's too much to risk having only one child...  Or maybe that's how they test their shit before they send it to Australia - they use the second kid that families had when they weren't supposed to as the tester?  They weren't supposed to exist in the first place so no loss if they succumb to a work place incident?  🤣
    • It's also the reason neither Duncan or I can own a car rotisserie
