Guys I am looking at getting a tune (1st time) as I will pick up my 96 r33 probably next weekend. I want to make sure that its been tuned properly from the 1st time I drive irelevent from the previous owners tuneup. I would like to know the rwkw so a dyno would be great but I have no idea of what these cost? Now this car has a 3' exhaust & pod filter (which i want back to original) and suposedly a slightly bigger standard high flow turbo running 10psi? (how can i tell if this is true??)

I live in Cranbourne so anywhere in the dandenong/frankston area would be fine i guess.

Can you guys suggest some places & prices?

oh another thing is that I dont beleive its had the timing belt done either and its at 103k km, so what would be the price of doing this as well?

Thanks guys and i hope you can help me out with this as I am a little dumbfounded by all this...

ps: I will post up spec's once someone can confirm them for me...

And of course there's the cream of the crop - Racepace :thumbsup:

he apparently used to have a mofified ecu but I beleive evrything has been put back to standard except for the exhaust (not sure what brand but is 3" , pod filter and ?modified turbo?

I does smell rich when running but I am not sure as if this is the case with every large bore exhaust?

with regards to a

1- standard service

2- major service

3- dyno

any idea what the breakdown on cost would be if thats all that is performed....

I wouldn't bother with a tune until you get some sort of aftermarket ECU whether it's piggy back or complete replacement. Tune for a stock PFC is ~$570 from trent @ status who does good work

a standard service i would pay around $150 for

this would include oil, oil filter, check of basic mechanics, water and coolant top up, check brakes etc

plugs if need be, check diff fluid etc

a major service i would pay around $500-$700 for

this would include standard service + new plugs + fuel filter + air filter + gearbox oil and whatever else may be needed

timing belt at 100,000 allow $400 for that alone

for dyno check around $60

which is just a power check, theres nothing to tune here

Like paul has mentioned above a timing belt replacement alone is $400 plus. Along with a major service and its $1,000 easy depending on what needs to be done.

Assuming the car is supplied with a legitimate RWC then brakes,exhaust,suspension,bushes and oil leaks etc should of already of been taken care of at the sellers end.

Dont take this the wrong way but why on earth are you asking these questions after committing to buying the car? You say it "supposedly" has a high flow? And "apparently" had a modified ecu?

Someone else has also recently bought an R34 and then decided to come on here asking questions that should be answered before purchase.

You should of piped up in here before deciding on what car you buy and asked for the name of decent workshops so you knew where to take a potential new car to get a pre-purchase inspection, dyno , leakdown test etc. May cost a couple hundred but can save you many thousands.

    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
