Who Tuned Your Power Fc?

[blk180]

I have used a lot of shops(having had never ending problems) for my car.

I used Hitman for tunning my frist rebuild was a good tune, made good power but maybe need to be a little less aggesive. A bad batch of (100% my fualt or fuel station) and i melted 3 forged pistons. The shop i got the rebuld and work done at 16k worth of work pretty much said not our fualt come back when you want to rebuild again. That was just by doing a comp test they wouldnt even pull the motor down. Well i will not mention the name of that shop as they are not worth it (they have nothing to do with Hitman).

I then went to DART Automotive they rebuilt my motor in 6 weeks (frist took 6months) this by far the best alround shop i have been to they treat me well always keen to help me out. They have also tuned my car and have done a Great Job (not that HITMAN couldnt have done it but i like the all in the one shop thing).

Anyway DART Automotive is my pick for power FC tuning.

Cheers Brad

My first dyno run was recordedat 194.2@wheels@13psi.

For some reason i cant post the sheet??

But he told me its more like 190 as he had to knock a few degrees out of the timing as it was pinging.

Took it for a spirited drive last night,and could feel power and torque everywhere,but unfortunatley it is still pinging sometimes.Recorded knock levels of 42,54 and 99!!!! So im gunna change the plugs once again to see if if helps. Now i can really start to feel the limitations of the standard turbo.Runs out of puff at 6500rpm. torque drops off quite a bit in the top half of the rev range as you can see by my dyno sheet lol???

Now is the hard part turbo choice.

I am running 1 bar, like 14.6psi.... I use to have 191kw but at 270kw engine is running so smooth....I love my line. Now I can...die in peace...heheheheh

What mods mate?

[eugen_syd]

Read my previous post or message for extra details.

I've had a Hitman tune and found it to be great for all the reasons alredy stated in this thread ($500)

I wish everyone would post prices but anyway....

Can someone tell me what makes CRD so much better than everyone else? and what is their price?

I reckon for doind a skyline with standard turbo and a few mods to hit around 200rwkws, i think, for a tuner, it would be a piece of piss and woudln't need all day...but thats just my opinion

[eugen_syd]

Birnie,

Not prices talk.....results do....

hehehehehe,

My post did sound a little $ oriented didn't it.

Wasn't meant to.

I do agree with what you're saying Eugen, i just wanna know (1) how much they are (2) what's so good about em and why? as I've never been.

interesting read. ill be getting a tune somwhere in the next month. thought id give my personal opinion on shops:

im thinking of going to bel garage.. heaps good guys down there & always got time to have a chat. had some work done there in my old car.

ive also had the worst experience at UAS as well. went there for them to specifically fix a fuel pump install which i was booked in for at 9am. at which i got attended to at 2pm. and then they also decided to go and change my spark plugs to iridiums, give me a compression test and charge me $27 for a 'test drive' without telling me. Johns a nice guy and i have nothing against him, but wtf are they smoking when they make the bill & do random work. the bill was about $600 at the end of it ( i had the apprentice doing the work as well to make it worse).

I've also been down and seen Mark @ Hills Motorsport (bought some parts off him). great guy & good service. i also saw mixed opinions about their shop on this forum at the time so never knew what their mechanical work was like.

ive talked to unigroup over the phone and email. Yavuz is pretty keen to help.

hitman tuned my r33, treats you like a friend when your at his shop and does great work on tunning

oh and just incase.. im not attacking forum members in this thread lol

Normally I would not comment, but I have to backup UAS on this one.

I happened to be there when you bought your old GTS-T in on a tow truck and I personally saw the job you did trying to fit the fuel pump yourself. Given the state of your fuel pump and the mountain of solder you had poured all over it, im entirely not surprised that they wanted to go over the car to make sure it hadn't leaned out and caused engine damage.

blitz: thats fair enough, im happy they fixed the problem,

sorry i probably wasnt clear at what i was trying to say late last night lol.. i was angry at the fact that they didnt inform me of what they were doing. i mean i was sitting outside waiting the least they couldve done is come over and told me what was happening, instead of jus slapping the bill at the end with no explanation. they literally did not say 1 word to me the whole time the work was being done. If i knew that bill was coming then sure no wories, we all know cars arnt the cheapest hobby.

i personally would not go back based on that experience of customer service. but like all workshops there is mixed opinions, some get the good and some get the bad. it is unfortunate that i had that experience at UAS cause i've heard lots of great things about them (i still do upto now).

I've been known to have a spit in the past but the longer I am around here the more I realise that you will find a bad story on every single workshop there is. You have to apply your own judgment really.

[WTF-33R]

I'm about to get my FC and Profec tuned. deciding between JEM and hitman.

[frozenwaffles]

i have just been to UAS to get my car serviced and the tune tweaked. personally i was very happy with what they did...a bit on the expensive side...but not to expensive. i guess you get what you pay for...
