Absolutely! Where did you go for this? PM me all the details pls

I went direct to pete at PLMS, he installed it and sold me a licence as well as did a quick tune, all for $500 - still needs a proper dynotune but that'll come later.

If all they did was burn a chip, I'd be majorly pissed.... esp for that amount of money

-D

ok so i have called the tuner AGAIA, and now he says that he didnt think i wanted to get the car tuned anywhere else but with him hence why he didnt put the nistune in..

is there more than one nistune? coz i asked for a nistune..

i didnt think there was more than one nistune..

any ideas what i can do..?

he is pretty much not doin ne thing to help except tell me i should have gone back to him..

the idea is that on occasions like this when i need a tune ASAP and the closest place is boost works then i go there...

If you asked black and white for a nistune board, then he has to provide man,

as far as forcing him to pay out etc I don't know, its harsh but sometimes easier to deal with the loss, spread the bad word amoungst everyone and move on.

Hope you get some coin out of this bastard though Age!

oh im furious..

he says now that he didnt understand i wanted a nistune to be installed..

like how may nistunes are there? i caled a few workshops and asked

"if i want a nistune and remap what would i get?"

they said "u would get a board installed into your ecu and a image put on to that(remap)"

dont think its too hard eh?

I completely agree with you man,

Just ring the tuner up and be completely up front with him, say you want a refund to recouperate 'some' of the funds and see what he says. Be firm about it don't let him talk you out of it. Scare him with the power of 'Word of mouth' :P

Being the import scene, few bad stories going round of this particular 'tuner' and he will loose alot of his income that'll hurt him more.

I doubt hed give a refund, but as a gesture of good will it would be acceptable for the tuner to finally fit a nistune board (if it hasnt already been done at bw)

Otherwise then I suppose a refund of $240 for a board that was never installed would be appropriate

-D

As i said to Adrian on MSN i don't think he quoted for the board, a board + install + tune would be around the $7-800 mark. So what he paid for he got but there was a communication breakdown some where. If he paid $7-800 then he should get some money back.

Thats what I meant,

The idea of Adrian getting a full refund is not likely.

    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
