Glen at ESP racing...they are also a ViPEC dealer...much better ecu than Power FC, but he is good on FC's too if you decide to go that way Edited October 22, 2008 by DiRTgarage Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/241224-apexi-power-fc-hand-controller-for-gt-r/#findComment-4211196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl33py Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 +1 for Trojan. They don't own a dyno (yet) but work on GTRs, so would have access to one.

TURISMO Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I only trust one man with tuning and thats the guy autotech tried to get, who isn't a mechanic, yet they were going to hire him as a professional ecu tuner. I have heard good things about crd, but a safe tune from crd (which is what you would have to get because of the altitude difference) wouldn't be as good as a good tune done in canberra. Ultimately you would get CRD up form sydney, or Ceffie from melbourne, But Ed is Very good from everything I have heard and what Ceffie has told me Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/241224-apexi-power-fc-hand-controller-for-gt-r/#findComment-4214290 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually pay about $350 but that was the first tune with the ecu. Did have some other work done at the same time so coulda made a difference?
