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

    • This, honestly, is entirely BMW life. There's so many little things that once you know about you are either more relaxed or more uptight! 馃ぃ Fwiw (and slightly in my defence) our X5 has been flawless! The biggest issue we've had was problems with the front diff which ended up with a 2k rebuild but other than regular servicing with good oil and filters we've had no out of the ordinary costs or problems. it's been amazing and we've put 90k on it over about 5 years.  It's just the other two. The problem kids.
    • The more I think about it, the more I should probably go with a genuine Bride seat and rail set up. But damn the $$$ for a driver and passenger seat + rails!
    • From what I understand, stock internals should hold out for a while even if you run 500 at the crank, no? Especially if you don't run a modern turbo setup that reaches power and torque much earlier than the original twins. My engine isn't unopened either, it has N1 Pumps, head oil restrictor, new crank and cams, new piston rings, ARP head studs and Cometic headgasket along with 2860-5s. Considering everything is healthy this should run fine for a while I assume. Once my engine stops leaking shit everywhere, it'll be tuned to 370 crank first anyway, because I need to legalize the turbo setup. If I end up needing a new engine because my block actually has an issue, even though GTSboy was adamant that the whole porous block story is nonsense, before putting an engine in I'm probably gonna take care of the weakspots.
    • Hah, I have no issues with what you are doing whatsoever! You clearly know what you are getting yourself into. It's just funny reading things like this. "What's that noise?" "Oh, that's normal. That's just the engine not getting any oil. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away in a moment"
