Hi guys, i have just had my car tuned again with the pwoer fc in it, it now makes 246rwkw on 14psi, however it now has a lot of lag, and feels like it's getting slower and slower and the engine light comes on at 7krpm. Can anyone recomend a really good tuner in melbourne? I have taken it abck ot the guy and he doesn't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THanks Mark

What mods. Hack advise sounds like its pinging up top of the rev range. Could be simply too much ignition or the fuel pump cant keep up and is leaning out despite how much fuel correction they are tryign to throw at it.

Ring around, there are a few good tuners in Melb, just dont be scared off by advice you may not want to hear :)

Which tuner was it that cant fix it if u dont mind me asking

Thanks guys, relaly appreciate it. I will try and get onto racepace. Have been to 2 on that list and they both stuffed me round and tried ripping me off. I won't name this one as i am not here to tarnish somones name, i just want my car to be fixed. Cheers Mark

I'm not sure what your version of ripping someone off, but just to give you a heads up, a full PFC tune will cost you around 500-800 ... a touchup to your tune may only cost a couple of hundred, depends how much dyno time and tuning time is needed :dry:

What are RE customs and Ice Performance like (And all the other ones on that list)?

Both have reputations.... just would like to hear some personal experience?

Or is it just Racepace hands down as far as skylines go? Tried a search (thats how I found this thread) but cant find anything relevent.

A simple search of the Vic section will tell you mate.

Remember, no business slander or negativity, but most places have a pretty good rep with most people.

So yeah, have a search of the Vic section and you'll get a lot of threads about it all :(

When i went to racepace, all cars there were gtr's including two r34 gtrs :O and a 9second r32 gtr

So they must know what they doing and seem geared towards the performance :(

recustoms is a friendly environment where i have my car serviced as its only a nimble r32 gtst :laugh:

They also install sound systems and seen plenty of mercs getting audio systems

Hope this little info helps

Racepace by far are the most professional and honest workshop I have ever dealt with, I have been to a few, and have been burnt badly, but I have never had an issue with racepace, always top qulaity work, and my PFC tune is brilliant, the car runs better and returns better economy than the stock ECU ever did.

Ive heard very good things about RE customs too. And their pricing seems very fair to me.

Just Emailed them and was told $180 for safc install/tune and calibrate my evc...

by the way 31jet. saw your car in the magazines this month. Love what you've done with it!

    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
