Tuning A Rb25Det

[soultz]

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!

In your case you would go for something like a Nistune, then get someone reputable to tune it.

ok how do i go about getting this done? what do i need?

[SargeRX8]

Any half decent workshop will be able to provide you with a Nistune chip, a compatible ECU and they do the rest.. Well they do everything. If you are in Sydney, Toshi on here will do all this for you.

im in melbourne, does anyone know of a good tuner who can do this?

[soultz]

hmm springy motors seems to be the go, the club liberty boys are saying springy does a fantastic job on their liberty's....

[SargeRX8]

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.

Springy motors are good man they know there stuff..probably should get a FMIC if you havent already, then just wind the boost up (10-12psi) and go dude...stress less

[soultz]

Interesting....well I'll shop around and see what I can get. What's a nistune worth anyway usually?

Somewhere in excess of $1000. You will need to get the right Z32 ecu, install the Nistune chip and get a tune. Have a look at the website first.

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..

[soultz]

ive already got my fast car, i just wanna get rid of that flat spot on the gts-t and put the mods i have done to full use, im looking to make 190 at the wheels thats it. if this does it ill be happy

PFC will be the best investment you ever make in a skyline.
