CRD were going to charge me $250, and kept telling me my car would have to be retuned, even though it was tuned perfectly just needed to have the boost controller setup...

Went to C&V told them it was tuned, told them all my mods etc etc... they tuned it... (took about 30power runs, was playing up a bit)... gave me dyno print outs... told me to take it for a drive to make sure i was happy then come back and pay them $150...

done and done :kiss:

mr 1h82bu, I'm going to do you a favour. on the forum we expect a minimum level of coherent comunication. this is not a text message to your cuz. this is a question posted on a forum. spelling mistakes happen, poor grammar happens. lack of capitilization happens. BUT typing non-stop in this sms crap is going to mean you are in for a tough time on the forum, and eventually mods and admins will get sick of the conflict it (you) create and you'll get the boot. so please do us a favour and type in the best english you can muster. please.

would u care to share ur experience.. was it a bad tune ??? was it not wat u expected ? details plssss

After their 'tune' the car was pinging excessively during normal driving, which as you know can kill an engine - I took the car back to them two more times for no further improvement. (and no refund)

I live in the Blue Mountains so obviously this was a huge inconvenience.

I eventually took it to Ric Shaw who got running fine.

The last tune I had was Bel Garage (different car) and I was impressed with them. They do a road tune then finesse it on the dyno depending on what application you want it tuned for.

It is actually important that you decide what your application is and let the tunner know - if you get the car tuned for drags don't expect it to be happy in the traffic.

From the feedback on the forum over the past couple of years it seems CRD, the Hitman or Unigroup are the go.

i hpe i hve put ths in trms u kan undrstand

Cam wheels were all over the place as were the fuel maps std cam rb26 with hks 2530's at 1.2bar on unigroup dyno car made 260rwkw and best time out at WSID I think was a 12.3@112-114mph and air temp about 16deg. So yeh pretty much not performing as it should gave it to Ben at Bel back out at WSID with 28deg air temp the car went 11.9@117mph on the first pass and then a few months later 11.6@119mph with a slipping clutch air temp that night about 20deg .

Rolled the car back up on the unigroup dyno it put down 300rwkw so yeh bit of a difference . I don't know who does the tuning at Bel now but Ben isn't there anymore but he does still tune and uses a dyno log dyno in the Gong . I haven't much to do with these things anymore but I might still be able to chase his number up if you like? .

i on the other hand have a very good experiences, with c&v.

other than the excessive waiting hours on end, even sometimes not being able to get my car tuned,

but in the end, over approx a 3 year period i never had to change spark plugs,

my car has never ever pingend,

i made more power on low boost than expected, also with lazy timing and no cam gear timing.

they did exactly what i wanted.

all in all i guess it comes to who u personally trust

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
