Shortly the crew at ESP will have their 4WD dyno ready,but there's really only Pete at Autotech Services and DTS in Fyshwick and Jake's Performance in Mitchell,all 2WD. Me? I'd hold out for ESP's unit:it'll be worth it!

ESP? LTSjayce have they been around long? Can i ask where they are located?

Purchased my car a couple of weeks ago (after about a year without an import) and i would like to get it tuned by a good and reputable workshop, it has a mines computer in it and was wondering if any tuner in Canberra would have mines software?

ESP have been around for a while,flying under the radar of normal,everyday tuning. They're most noted for their big hitting gold street/drag supra and the 513 AWKW STi WRX 'Diablo'. They've moved to new,bigger premises on Gilmore Road,Queanbeyan. It's the old Capital Harley Davidson building,about halfway down the road. Daniel(AKA 'Shafty' from his days at Shaftmasters) and Glenn are champions;nice fellas that'll listen to what you want from your car.

As for the Mines software,I'm unaware of anyone in Aus' that's got the stuff. From the little info' leaked out of Mines,I believe it's a flash-type software;a reflashed ECU is their speciality. There are people capable of doing such work in this country. Wheather or not ESP has dealt with the Mines gear,I can't be sure. Howvere,they'll have a red hot crack at getting a solution for you.

Just slightly off-topic,but still to do with tuning,I'll still back Ed' & Anthony at Integra Automotive. Whilst they don't have their own dyno,they have a few at their disposal,and are tops at looking after imports. Could be worth a call!

Hope this helps... J

Jayce is on the money re the Mines ecu, Blitz Access ecu is along the same lines. Chiptorque in Nerang are about the only people I know in Oz with a 4wd dyno that can reflash after installing their own chip. I understand Dr Drift in Melb can also do it but not sure of the contact details or dyno access. Some people seem to get very good results with the Jap 'flashed'ecu - but you really need to run it up on the dyno and see, at least for safety sake.

Afaik DTS dyno is 4wd, at least it was when I went there.

Cheers

if you do a search it should yield some results. there was also an HPI article some time ago and from memory they found the pre tuned ecu was very rich with not a lot of gain. the thing with those ecus is that you don't really know for sure what they are tuned for although there are guidelines.

warm idle should be about 950 rpm cold about 1100 but then again it could be the ecu.

cheers

Shut up beau...

Anyway back to business.

Trojan in mitchell do my work for me. Very good. Know more about Skylines than Nissan. They currently use the dyno at jakes. See John.

As for Mines computers. As far as I know they are virtually untunable. They are mostly used in conjunction with other hardwear like Apexi SAFC's for example.

So I might have to think about getting something easier to tune like a power fc. Seems to be a popular choice for the gtr's. Might wait till i get back from overseas and see how much money i have left.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
