There are more Skyline experts interstate then there are in Darwin.

Simple fact is - I don't want to take the risk if I am going to spend big dollars on modifications...would you?

CRD may very well be where I sent the car to..

No - I have never and will never take shortcuts or cut corners on my cars tuning, thats why my car is tuned and prepared by CRD.

here is an option for you. instead of sending your car to sydney for tuning, send the tuner from sydney to darwain. try Hitman at Race solutions. i know he travels around a bit tuning. I'm sure if you paid his flights and a full day or two of his time he would probably come up for you. 2 full days of tuning $$ and the flights would probably still cost less than sending your car all the way to sydney, and it would be faster, and your car never has to leave darwain, and you get to be there when it's tuned :)

Well that's the quote he gave me.I'm not saying he dont know his stuff.Hitman told me $550.And from what i've heard he's pretty good.

In regards to tuning- By the time flights, hotel, food, workshop hiring etc are paid for, it would have been cheaper and easier to just send the car directly to the workshop and have everything done there properly.

I am planning a full rebuild of the RB and would like it to be handled by an experienced workshop.

Living in Darwin doesn't give me much of a choice so, with the plans I have for the car - I have no choice but, to send it down south and get it done right the first time.

Cheers.

I have settled on Sydney as I have family members there who can keep me in touch with the car and also this workshop is highly recommended on SAU.

Could have chosen any workshop but, this workshop is one of the best.

Cheers.

I have just been chatting to the owner of the workshop you are planning on using

Your car will be in good hands Gavin.

Personally I would get it tuned in Darwin, because that's were it lives, those are the conditions it has to run in every day. We have been to Darwin a couple of times with the race cars and I can tell you that we had to retune them for the local humidity and heat. We hired out one of the local dynos.

A number of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane Improved Production cars will be there for the V8 Supercar meeting 22-24th June. Many of the leading teams tuners usually make the trip up north. I would try and hook up with one of them, get them to stay an extra day and tune your car.

:no: cheers :down:

      Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.

      What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.

      Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.

      Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
