As the title states, he requires 3 or more members with an auto r33 wanting a road and dynotune.

I'm keen on getting this done so you have your 1st

Forgive me if i'm wrong but for $700 that makes for a fantastic fun car

my car has

11psi turbotech

fmic kit

split dump, turbo back exhaust stock cat

pod with cai

For a good road tune with Nistune here in SA, you could try one of the developers behind Nistune. Is a SR specialist, but I've heard others had their skylines roadtuned by Pete: http://www.plmsdevelopments.com/

Pete from PLMS tuned Rolls (R32 RB25DET Neo Hi-Flow etc.) and my car (RB30DET, GT3076R etc) and did a fantastic job. Has plenty of experience with RB's from what I've heard.

VERY THOROUGH and patient. Pete wants the job done right and enjoys seeing the results as much as the owner.

Other tuners to note are Simon at Morpowa and I've also heard good things about Willall Racing.

Pete is excellent. Never had him tune my car obviously as I live in WA, but he was a massive help to me when I had my issues with my ECU. Incredibly patient and very very helpful.

Also consider Declan from Garage 7.

Very very easy going guy. Will answer any questions you have. Once you get him started on the topic of tuning, have a good half an hour spare to talk to him.

Declan uses a DynaPak in Pooraka and is very thorough with his tunes. He loves to see the results after a tune, more so than the customer some times i think haha.

Im doing nistune (Z32 ecu and R32 ECU) and realtime R33 ecu tune both.

But Nistune (Z32 and R32 ecu) do not work for AUTO.(his car is AUTO)

Only R33 ecu tune or HKS FCON Vpro except piggyback ecu.(Im not recommend piggyback for R33)

yeah, auto. All the quotes i had from a couple of the mentioned businesses were quite extreme for somewhat of a 'light tune' skyline. They seemed to have the common response of r32/z32 nistune while manuallising the auto. Piggyback route worked out around 11-1300 for install and basic tune, more for road and dyno or manualized auto with nistune was around 13-1400 with dyno and road tune.

It would either end up being a mail order tune, or SAFC tune. And Toshi's quoted price has been by far the cheapest so far

    • I'd say the easiest way is, pick up a extended and baffled sump with fittings already welded on. Here is an example, it has 3 x -10 fittings  https://shop.maatouksracing.com.au/products/rb-extended-and-baffled-sump
    • hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.
    • From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)... 
    • Hey mate give Autotechnica a go, I recently got some Comfort PUs and rails from them, they're comfy and look great highly recommended! https://www.autotecnica.com.au/part-finder/nissan/skyline/r32/
    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
