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

[boostn0199]

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?

[paulr33]

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)

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 .

can't give you a price but i can highly recommend status tuning. i had all sorts of strange issues and trent ironed em all out...

[boostn0199]

yeah im leaning towards him because ive heard countless good things about hes tuning just hoping wont have to pay over a 1000 for the tune

[dezz]

$1k for a tune?

Not even Racepace charge that afaik.

[boostn0199]

well what prince you rekon 700 600?

[dezz]

I'd say $4-800 depending on where you go..

[boostn0199]

yeah those prices i can live with

[krzysiu]

Rang up ray, he said around $500-550 and wasnt concerned with mod level.

And i got nismo 740cc injectors, Z32 and Greddy Cam gear which will need to be adjusted.

[geraus]

I recommend Trent @ status tunning. he did mine im doing 233kws

[R31Nismoid]

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

[boostn0199]

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

[JamesK]

Just look at all the threads praising Trent and ray, you wont go wrong with them

[ujin]

hey manni, i thin paul at chasers charge 150 for the first hour, and 80 for subsequent hours.. (Dun quote me) but i think its abt there..

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

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

[ssxRicho]

just goto trent.

stock rb25 and turbo @ 12psi, exhaust, pod powerfc 190rwkw, a stupid amount of torque and boost comes on reallllll quick.
