i live in kogarah..... theres not many REPUTABLE tuners.

keyword = reputable

could there be a chance his dyno scores are just low

???

wtf 212... man dats a big diff

ohh.... i aint goin back to him....

Called and talked to the tuner

the tuners words are :

Your fuel pump is dumping in too much fuel as the stock engine cannot handle it. I have already put it down to almost -22 anymore is bad.

He said i need the adjustable fuel pressure regulator or else he cant tune it because the pump is dumping in WAAAAY to much fuel and flooding it.

thats why its running rich and thats why its stock afrs etc

if i had a bigger turbo then easier to handle but atm i cant... he'll charge me another 180.00 dollars for the retune afta i get a regulator.. <--

wat do u guys think

that is the biggest crokc of shit ever.

The standard regulator is FINE! I run 300rwkw with mine! As long at your rail has a constant 42psi then there is nothing wrng with it.

And -22? I have taken well over 50 - 70 off some of my load points!

this guy is a f**king dipshit. I don't work for a shop, and it seems like I can tune better...

LOL

i used " the mafias " car as an example and he said that it was more likely that ppl on skylines australia is bs.... and that most ppl here are biased ...

does anybody have an idea as to WHY? he would of said this to get a regulator and not tune it better?.

my guts telling me he wans me to come back ,giving lil power gains each time so keep coming back so he gets more cash each time.?

btw.. he supposingly is a reputable tuner in the hot fours magazines and many ppl from the hot 4's have done there cars by him

this is how i chose him as a tuner..

* nah there ppretti much standard injectors? maybe the ecu was re-mapped without me knowing?? n he cant lean the fuel out??? ( guess )?

this really suprises me a tuner would say this, and its almost scary that he works on cars. A FPR is exactly that, it controls the pressure of fuel in the fuel rail. Its important to understand how it works. The fuel pump pumps the fuel it hits the fuel rail and regulator, the regulator controls how much fuel pressure is going through it. Even at stock levels the stock pump is pumping more fuel than the engine needs so the FPR regulates how much fuel is needed for the motor and the extra is returned to the fuel tank. So even when you get a higher capacity pump, that extra flow doesnt go and "flood the engine", it just gets returned to the tank. When you bump the boost up, you go through more fuel to counter the increase in air, so with a bigger pump you can meet these needs, but you still wont be using the full flow of what the pump produces so once again the regulator maintains the pressure of fuel required and any extra will be returned to the tank.

A higher flowing pump wont flood the engine as long as your FPR is working, hes talking bs.

exactly. You could put a 700hp pump in your tank, but the factory FPR is always only going to let the injectors see 42psi - the factory fuel pressure. Then you adjust the powerfc to suit. If this tuner is saying that your pump is too big, then he should not be tuning cars at all. And as I said before, he's only taking -22 units out? I take HEAPS more out to get my afrs up to 12.5:1

And f**k me, he wants you to put a adjustable FPR on so that he can f**k it up some more? Holy shit, he doesn't even know how a factory one works, how the f**k is he going to get a Aftermarket one working?

ahahahah what a loser. I'm biased hey? Take a print out of my Dyno run to him - tell him to shove it up his ass.

... afm needs cleaning.... i'l clean it anyway just for the general purpose of doing it

lol.... well at least i know that i am on the right and that he did a shit job..

i think this guy doesnt know how to tune the stock regulator...

atm my car sometimes idles funni too :unsure:

i realli need to get her tuned again

... maybe you guys should call him up and talk to him ahahahaha ... thanks guys for telling me how it works.

although i lost 500 bucks its a lesson learnt in knowing there are shit tuners.. <--

not all just one .. I.S MOTOR SPORTS !

    • Now that the break-in period for both clutch and transmission is nearly over I'd like to give some tips before I forget about everything that happened, also for anyone searching up how to do this job in the future: You will need at least 6 ton jack stands at full extension. I would go as far as to say maybe consider 12 ton jack stands because the height of the transmission + the Harbor Freight hydraulic platform-style transmission jack was enough that it was an absolute PITA getting the transmission out from under the car and back in. The top edge of the bellhousing wants to contact the subframe and oil pan and if you're doing this on the floor forget about trying to lift this transmission off the ground and onto a transmission jack from under the car. Also do not try to use a scissor jack transmission lift. You have to rotate the damn thing in-place on the transmission jack which is hard enough with an adjustable platform and a transmission cradle that will mostly keep the transmission from rolling off the jack but on a scissor lift with a tiny non-adjustable platform? Forget it. Use penetrating oil on the driveshaft bolts. I highly recommend getting a thin 6 point combination (box end + open end) wrench for both the rear driveshaft and front driveshaft and a wrench extension. These bolts are on tight with very little space to work with and those two things together made a massive difference. Even a high torque impact wrench is just the wrong tool for the job here and didn't do what I needed it to do. If your starter bolts aren't seized in place for whatever reason you can in fact snake in a 3/8 inch ratchet + 6 point standard chrome socket up in there and "just" remove the bolts for the starter. Or at least I could. It is entirely by feel, you can barely fit it in, you can barely turn the stupid ratchet, but it is possible. Pull the front pipe/downpipe before you attempt to remove the transmission. In theory you don't have to, in practice just do it.  When pulling the transmission on the way out you don't have to undo all the bolts holding the rear driveshaft to the chassis like the center support bearing and the rear tunnel reinforcement bar but putting the transmission back in I highly recommend doing this because it will let you raise the transmission without constantly dealing with the driveshaft interfering in one way or another. I undid the bottom of the engine mount but I honestly don't know that it helped anything. If you do this make sure you put a towel on the back of the valve cover to keep the engine from smashing all the pipes on the firewall. Once the transmission has been pulled back far enough to clear the dowels you need to twist it in place clockwise if you're sitting behind the transmission. This will rotate the starter down towards the ground. The starter bump seems like it might clear if you twist the transmission the other way but it definitely won't. I have scraped the shit out of my transmission tunnel trying so learn from my mistake. You will need a center punch and an appropriate size drill bit and screw to pull the rear main seal. Then use vice grips and preferably a slide hammer attachment for those vice grips to yank the seal out. Do not let the drill or screw contact any part of the crank and clean the engine carefully after removing the seal to avoid getting metal fragments into the engine. I used a Slide Hammer and Bearing Puller Set, 5 Piece from Harbor Freight to pull the old pilot bearing. The "wet paper towel" trick sucked and just got dirty clutch water everywhere. Buy the tool or borrow it from a friend and save yourself the pain. It comes right out. Mine was very worn compared to the new one and it was starting to show cracks. Soak it in engine oil for a day in case yours has lost all of the oil to the plastic bag it comes in. You may be tempted to get the Nismo aftermarket pilot bearing but local mechanics have told me that they fail prematurely and if they do fail they do far more damage than a failed OEM pilot bushing. I mentioned this before but the Super Coppermix Twin clutch friction disks are in fact directional. The subtle coning of the fingers in both cases should be facing towards the center of the hub. So the coning on the rearmost disk closest to the pressure plate should go towards the engine, and the one closest to the flywheel should be flipped the other way. Otherwise when you torque down the pressure plate it will be warped and if you attempt to drive it like this it will make a very nasty grinding noise. Also, there is in fact an orientation to the washers for the pressure plate if you don't want to damage the anodizing. Rounded side of the washer faces the pressure plate. The flat side faces the bolt head. Pulling the transmission from the transfer case you need to be extremely careful with the shift cover plate. This part is discontinued. Try your best to avoid damaging the mating surfaces or breaking the pry points. I used a dead blow rubber hammer after removing the bolts to smack it sideways to slide it off the RTV the previous mechanic applied. I recommend using gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket to try and keep the ATF from leaking out of that surface which seems to be a perpetual problem. Undoing the shifter rod end is an absolute PITA. Get a set of roll pin punches. Those are mandatory for this. Also I strongly, strongly recommend getting a palm nailer that will fit your roll pin punch. Also, put a clean (emphasis on clean) towel wrapped around the back end of the roll pin to keep it from shooting into the transfer case so you can spend a good hour or two with a magnet on a stick getting it out. Do not damage the shifter rod end either because those are discontinued as well. Do not use aftermarket flywheel bolts. Or if you do, make sure they are exactly the same dimensions as OEM before you go to install them. I have seen people mention that they got the wrong bolts and it meant having to do the job again. High torque impact wrench makes removal easy. I used some combination of a pry bar and flathead screwdriver to keep the flywheel from turning but consider just buying a proper flywheel lock instead. Just buy the OS Giken clutch alignment tool from RHDJapan. I hated the plastic alignment tool and you will never be confident this thing will work as intended. Don't forget to install the Nismo provided clutch fork boot. Otherwise it will make unearthly noises when you press the clutch pedal as it says on the little installation sheet in Japanese. Also, on both initial disassembly and assembly you must follow torque sequence for the pressure plate bolts. For some reason the Nismo directions tell you to put in the smaller 3 bolts last. I would not do this. Fully insert and thread those bolts to the end first, then tighten the other larger pressure plate bolts according to torque sequence. Then at the end you can also torque these 3 smaller bolts. Doing it the other way can cause these bolts to bind and the whole thing won't fit as it should. Hope this helps someone out there.
