Hi all,

My power Fc will be arriving in a week or two and im going to get it tuned straight away.

Who tuned your power fc?

I was thinking of going to Unique but i would like to see what other line owners have done.

Croydon is another option too.

What was the state of tune before you went?

Before and after results(including AFRs and RWKW)

I know price will be between 5-600 bucks.

CHEERS

u have so may options mate! CRD are the best, then theres the others such as unique, unigroup, hitman, advan, belgarage, rigoli..the list goes on..the cheapest u will get it done anywhere will be 500 and that will most likely be hitman in penrith. A tune netted me about 25rkws, but it really depends on how your ecu is performing atm. If its coping well with you mods, the gain will be less than somwhere whose ecu has hit R & R and is running bad afr's, timings out, etc, etc...ring around, but youll still be v happy with a tune, even if ur max power is'nt too much higher, as you will notice that your overall power, particualrly in ur midrange is a lot better.

Unigroup gets my vote.

Was tuned but super rich @155rwkw when i dropped it off, no change in boost and power was up to 185rwkw when finished.

Final AFRs are between 11.9-11.6 between approx 4000-7000rpm, i asked for a rich safe tune which is what i got.

Hitman did my tune, he had my car for about 2.5hrs and did an excellent job, car now has 199rwkw with the standard stage one mods and i get 500km out of a full tank of petrol (was getting 350-400km max pre-tune).

Ontop of that he's a top guy, service was excellent. He gets my vote.

Another vote for matt...ie Hitman

He treats you more like a friend than a customer and his work is great with reasonable prices.

I remember a few years back when I went to his new location in Penrith...well new back then and we were bored and so he started to dyno things around the workshop like his Husqi dirt bike....

haha he even dynoed me.....I only managed 0. something hp :P

CRD is a bit pricier than other places, but I would have to say they are the best (That's what Jim does all day-tuning). The new guy at Bel Garage is pretty good himself.

My first tune was at unique motorsports tuned by Ben. I was running too rich and after having my car tuned at CRD and Bel, in comparison I can say the car was not smooth. It was smooth at the time as that was my first tune.

Unique

@ 14psi = 197 rwkw

@ 15psi = blew my turbo (they said the turbo could easily handle 15psi. Little did i know)

CRD

@14psi = 212rwkw

Bel

Whole new setup, so can't compare.

This stuff has been covered a few times, so do a search and you'll get some more info.

While we're at it though...

Mark at MRC in Castle Hill does my tuning. He's very knowledgeable and thorough with both tuning and mechanical work and just a downright nice bloke who takes the time to explain everything to you when he's working on your car. I highly recommend him...

Can't compare before and after as it was a new set up - but my car made 285rwkw @ 17psi with a nice flat AFR of 12 (as evidenced by anyone who was at the SAU dyno day last year).

I tuned my own Power FC....

Damn it was fun and it cost me a hell of alot less then $500.. I had to do it myself as i put the engine together myself too (except crank and pistons cos its a fully forged setup)

Only tuned it to 15 psi going to hire a dyno before i go to 25psi as i dont want to break any land speed records or the speed limit in the process :wub:

any others with a unigroup tune??

Mine goes in there friday - spoken with the guys there and they seemed to earn my business!

Yep. Yavuz does good work. My car has been going on their dyno fairly regularly over the last 3 years to check things are safe after mods were done and was tuned when i originally got my pfc about a 18 months ago, touched up when i got my cams, and then back on for a check at the end of last year.

Their prices are pretty good too.

      Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?

      My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more

      Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
