Full Power Fc Tune For R33 Gtst Prices? Status, Recustoms?


Recommended Posts

hey guys just wondering where you guys got your power fcs tuned and are happy with the job and how much they charged , typical mods, turbo, fmic, z32, injectors,exhust, for example how much would somewhere like status or re customs charge?

it depends as the AFM and injectors may need more work to have them tune

and you should clarify what you call a "tune" as it might not be the same among tuners

some may just give you a max power tune and some may give you an on-road tune

and some may do a combination of both

if you just get a max power tune, youll likely have sucky fuel economy

so be sure that fuel economy is setup and tuned

and if its just a dyno tune, its likely when you get the car and trash the pants off it on the street, that it will knock

as the load is slightly different on the dyno, so either take note of this or enquire if an on-road check/tune is needed

my max power GTST tunes have been around $400 ish that was back in 2005/2006

and it was setup of car, max power tune, quick economy trim

more work was required to fix on-road knocking and on-road fuel economy later (these would be seperate costs i assume? - i did them myself)

got mine tuned at chasers motorworks (West melb, dynon Rd) . got 340kw at all 4 wheels really happy with the tune. chargers depends on how long Paul (Tuner) takes. chargers per hour. u can let him know what you want and he will work it out for ya :down: give them a ring or go down for a chat! friendly bunch of guys. who knows i might be there as well. haha. grey r32gtr, mension ken they shld know me. lol..

thanks guys yeah i was reading about the different type of tunes and how people are getting knocking on the street, thanks ujin ill have a chat to them when im ready for the tune .

It's all subjective in a lot of cases. People get quoted $500, and it turns out to be $1000.

So just go there, discuss with the people, get a price. If your car has issues on the dyno, price will go up, simple as that.

No-one can give you a concrete price due to potential problems (ie a fuel reg might die, fuel supply might be shit, parts might be intermittently faulty).

All of which takes time to diagnose and price - goes up. Hence the increase in costs.

Couldn't agree more Ash. I had issues with my fuel pump and had it replace with a Tomei @ Racepace when my retune was done because the first "cheaper" tune I has was rubbish.

Name: Racepace

Location: 9/6 Holloway Drive, Bayswater

Number: 9762 9421

Trent quoted me 550 I paid 550 although it went fairly smoothly at first he was worried if i had enough spark in my coil packs but he said they ended up being fine although I think he said he's bumping the price up to $570 for first tune now

thanks james yeah i heard the price went up just wasnt sure by how much i would be happy with that price for a good tune and happy to pay abit more if needs more attetnion

well status is $570 now as james was only there recently.....

but with trent, that $570 buys you a VERY good tune. and unlike many other tuners, he will fix up any issues that may arise on the road for free, and he then charges a lot less for subsequent retunes when you have new mods :(

i have my car tuned at status, and am very very happy with it... unopened rb25 makes 300rwkw and has been alive for nearly 2 years now

trent spends a LOT of time tuning every car, you really do get every dollars worth

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
