hey, i live on the northside..

i agree though makes sense that if its an awd car then put on a awd dyno... godzilla sounds good..

anyony been to C & J.. i here they are real good, just a bit Pricey $$

Even though Godzilla aren't northside, they're only a short trip down the gateway anyway.

I took my Verada to C&J for a uni chip install before I got a skyline and they seem to know there stuff, never had any troubles with service or anything was 1300 bucks though, for an extra 10kw atw woo hoo magna power! I was a bit nieve with prices then!

I'm hopefully taking my ricer over to godzilla sometime soon when its sorted, for a tune was quoted 500 for a PFC witch seems very reasonable.

Xmas period is always hard to get anyone open apart from retailers...

As for prices once again your best off calling, tell em SAU sent you (that they were recogmended on the forums) and im sure they will take care of you...

Personally wouldn't recomend Matty Spry @ Pitstop Performance only for his customer service.

Alternatively his tuning ability may be all well and good though. Have had alot of good reports about his experience and abilities with regard to tuning turbocharged vehicles. So i'm not in any way slagging off his expertise, only his attitude toward myself as a customer. I was a big fan of his from my Gemini days when he owned/tuned/ran HYPO4.

Was not happy with his customer service 100%, i spoke with him personally @ his workshop and he treated me like a P.O.S from the word g'day. He told me he had no intention of touching my so called "P.O.S" skyline unless i fitted various parts that he stated i had to fit for it to be worth touching let alone worth looking at. His "demands" were a Motec or Autronic computer or a min of Apexi SAFC, but even then he said he'd "probably be too busy to look at it".

I don't know if it was 'God Syndrome' or whether he was having a shocker at work. It's just not good business etiquette to turn your back on and laugh at a customer that asks to have a HKS Fuel Cut Defender fitted & AFR's checked, then walk off while the customer is asking whats so funny/bad about wanting to have one fitted.

Within 2 hours later, i had a quote and excellent service & advice from both 'Chiptorque' and 'Millenium Motorsport'. In the end, i got Millenium to fit the FCD and check the AFR's and i was very happy with them overall in both work carried out & customer service.

Like i said earlier, i'm not bad mouthing any workshops abilities or expertise in regard to tuning. Only my experience with customer service, all three workshops mentioned have countless evidence of their workmanship that i would never argue with.

Ignore post

Also Godzilla Motorsport dont do single power runs anymore for anyone interested. Just that it takes alot of time to move all the cars out of the workshop for just one run and youd have to pay for the time moving the cars too etc. I think he said that may do it but after paying for the labour to move the cars, I think it would be more expensive compared to quotes elsewhere.

i said 150.00 for 4wd dyno power runs. 100 for 2wd... thats what i charge as it takes over 1/2 hr to set up the car 3 power runs and any cheaper and its not worth it...

and yes it can be a pain to do power runs but i do them as it generates work....

also get your story correct before posting rubbish....

hope this helps ..

My apologies I must have misinterpreted what you said over the phone.

So just to clarify is it $150 for 3 power runs? I thought that was the quote for a single which is why I posted that.

Thanks

I've never been anywhere else since I got my 'line. But I'm on the north side very close to Mercury.

If I was on the south I'd probably go straight to Godzilla. Trent and the boys at mercury have been very helpful and friendly. I only went there twice and Trent was greeting me by name when I walked in. They did a power run on my GTR for $75. That was 3 full pulls. Gonna go see 'em soon, the bug for more power is biting at me again....

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
