Steve at manta racing[ richmond ]. He 's booked out for the next 2 week's though. He will more than likely do it at willall racing's dyno with peter hall :(

Manta racing I believe don't have their own dyno. They send the cars over to 'I believe' Willall Racing.

Personally I believe its an added liability having your car driven to and from a workshop for a tune.

Please do correct me if I am wrong as I may very well be. :)

But either way my vote goes to Shaun @ Boostworx. My loyalty has always been with Shaun and in return he looks after myself and doesn't charge the earth.

He's a top bloke thats down to earth and not full of him self.

Northern side of town. I would have to say Tilbrooks, BUT I would only have Tim Possingham (if he's still there) tune mine.

They do charge quite a bit more; DO make sure you get a solid written quote and make it very clear they are to call before performing any work that will blow out the price.

Both Tilbrooks and Boostworx have the Datalogit so there's no issues there.

Another bloke that appears to be on the pulse is Graham West Performance Marion Road. They too have a datalogit.

Got a quote to retune the Stagea awd rb25det auto with the highflow turbo, for the safc II and the sitc piggybacks.

Has been tuned twice before at Graham Wests - Im sure now that I definately paid for too much time (lol at 5hrs dyno time plus setup fee).

Got quote from Wests, then got quote from John at HiTech Dyno. HiTech were under by well over a hundred dollars, including dropping the driveshaft for the rwd dyno (Wests have a 4wd dyno), so thats where I'll be going soon for the final tune. Steve (Pixl8r) reports a good experience with HiTech hence my decision to get a quote from them.

hmmmmmm, perhaps I should get a quote from Boostworx ? :huh:

If your running an SAFC I would think 1-2hrs absolute max.

So the tune shouldn't cost much more than $250.

Exactly, as I NOW know. Didnt know any better one year ago - hence why I never queried the 5hours charge time from GWW. Still not happy about the overcharge although the tune wasnt toooo bad. Meh.

Quote from John at Hitech was for a max of 3hr tune, said he'd do it quicker then that tho; seems honest enough to me.

you dont need anything fancy to tune ya glorified volvo . bring it around here with a bottle of scotch we can drink the scotch then get started on ya car with my big hammer and blunt screwdriver lol

ps this is dean didnt know i was logged in under sons name lol

Edited by iLEC

well id say either John Keen at High Tech

or go to see martin donnon down at wingfield at there new shed and dyno

i think they are called willall

for power fc tuning and the datalogic stuff like tuning with a laptop id see donnon

stuff tuning with a hand controlled its old skool lol

I heard New Years that Tilbrooks were closing down, anyone else heard anything on that?

Just spoke to Mark and he said he is still there but wont be back until after the 26th of january I think.

    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite 
    • Interesting. I've not dived into the cleanliness of the factory CAS. I'm curious if the variations are less of an issue if the OEM sensor were brand new. Optical sensors if they're starting to get dirt and crap into them as they're getting older would definitely cause issues as they age.   It's an interesting point to keep in the back of mind for me though
    • Hmm. Tough one. Without knowing where the conductivity value is supposed to sit, it's hard to know whether a standard DMM set to an available ohms setting would be able to measure anything. Ohms being the inverse of what we're talkng about and probably good enough for the girls I go out with. But if you want to go all hoity toity with a 4 wire rig - go ahead. It can only be more accurate - just in case more accuracy or repeatability turns out to be required. If you're going to the effort, just go chuck the ohm-mage probes into the car's reservoir and see if you can measure anything at all?
