i went with chasers excellent service and good price i paid $450 for my pfc djetro install+tune

including drilling and tapping the intake manifold for the the air temp sensor? if so bargain.

The Air intake temp sensor is the single most important item on the PFC d-jetro, so make sure its fitted.

I'm waiting for status to re-open to give my GTR some goodies and a tune :P. Going to wait for Trent to get back because he did my brothers GTS-T and explained how everything works and what he did, also gave me some advice on what to look for on GTRs :)

I haven't been to Chasers, but Trent has done me well.

After my re-build, and tune through another performance shop, I took my car to Trent to tune.

He touched up the tune and charged me on an hourly basis where he could have charged me the full tune rate.

He fitted my -5 and tuned that with the coilpack from Cat's race car. I haven't heard of many (if not, any) tuners that will get out of their way to help you get the most out of your car.

Just my 2c.

Im back in town but sick as a dog, went wake boarding at wet in wild in orlanda and did not heed the sign saying that this water contains herpes, pink eye, and aids.... so ive been bed ridden.

For those desparate (got 112 phone messages and shload of PM's to go through) to get in i will offer SAU guys first dibs next week (was just going to have a clean up week), just pm me what day suits and i will try make it work.

just make sure to mention your from SAU or else i will book it in from the week after.

Hahaha says the man who wasn't going to do any more modifications ;)

all in the name of smoother idling and better fuel economy (yeah right!)

since i've got cam gears and bigger turbos, i'm thinking why not! right? box takes priority still though.

yeah, interesting - first i've heard something like that - but there are always two sides to any story (statement of fact, not intended to be anything more)

what ECU you running richar?

apexi power FC.. the tune from race pace was actually to hti 180rwkw.. but when i use to startup it will struggle to rev, after chasers have tuned it, never have the problem..

Edited by richar
Wow an upgrade from a Racepace tune? :thumbsup:

chasers tune on a knife edge sometimes.... racepace tune could have been safer

bombtrack got 297rwkw from chasers from a ~280rwkw turbo

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
