So i've got a R33 GTS-T With:

Silicone Cold Air Intake Pipe

Fujitsubo Geiken 3" Stainless Exhaust

Stainless Dump Pipe

Yellow Jackets Coil Packs

BMC Air Filter

My question is;

I want to tune the car with all this + wind stock turbo up to 12 Psi

Can i get a flash tune? or does every skyline have to use a Power FC to be tuned??? Its not just a matter of taking it to a tuner and saying ok go for it??

cheers!

What? If you want someone good go to Status tuning. Don't go to other websites suggested tuners or workshops. I personally have never heard of spring motors(being from Sydney) but I have heard of the names of popular tuners which get used on here often. Status is the first one to come to mind down that way.

+1 to this

The guys there seem to do an amazing job

I'm not going to say that the other tuner suggested by the liberty forums is shit, just its a name I am unfamiliar with when it comes to this forum. The general consensus is: If its on this forum and given the go, its good for your skyline. People don't trust eBay turbos because they are unknown and untested BUT if you read on here about the Kando turbo, which is essentially an eBay turbo, they are given the thumbs up and alot of skyliners are getting into them. You ever mention the name hypergear to anyone who doesn't drive a skyline? They won't have ANY idea what you are talking about. Then come here and find a 200page thread on this turbo and every step its taken to be developed into a pretty awesome turbo for the skyline.

GTI forums, my mate was showing me. Some weird name of some guy who does backyard tuning and my mate was like take your skyline there. I was simply like what the f**k, WHO the f**k IS HE? Some backyard guy working on my skyline? He might know his way around a GTI but I won't let him near my car. Toshi on here is a backyard tuner, probably one of the best tuners you could come across in Sydney. Horses for courses.

or just get PFC from the classifieds..personally i wouldnt bother with either cause you are relying on too many 20 yr old parts.....I'd go see Hypergear with a couple of grand and invest in a cheap boltin hiflow and a brand new adaptronic ECU package then go see Chequered tuning..( the artist formerly known as STATUS )

will yield you less headaches, faster car and value for money all round..

    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
