OK did sound like a cool story. While we are judging some of you need a hug.

Well, to be fair, you need to back up what you claim, otherwise, it's just another cool story. You have to appreciate that many a joker will jump on a forum, make a lot of claims about a particular business pretending to be a happy customer when in reality, they're a part of the said business. Hence if you take a look at my thread, I posted the graph along with my post, just to keep it all legitimate.

Getting back to your tune, looks like you got 2kW more than I. Must be those funky little black things from AsM. :P I was curious about how they sound but if it sounds raspy, I might just stick to my Megan Racing muffler and leave it alone.

How much did CRD charge you for the dyno tune?

Personally, I didn't notice any throttle lag in my 2009 and no change after the tune either.

As for the gear shifts being snappier, I'm curious about this because mine feel the same but I usually shift down a couple gears in preparation for my squirt anyway - always on the ready. :P

I had the Auto /Tipronic and I never bothered using the Tipronic as the Auto change was sharp, put your foot down and would get you going real fast, shocked a lot of young blokes with the response of this car, the twin Turbos made it very sneaky :woot:

haha, 250 at the wheels helps... 180 not so much :)

But I traded a 300ZX TT, it felt better than the ZX before the TT upgrade and I did not notice lag ?

It was smooth, but like most of the blokes on this Forum, I wanted more and when I got it , I think my dick moved :yes:

I don't really have lag with mine, but I find the auto can be a bit sluggish.

I'm pretty sure it adapts to your driving style though. If I drive a bit harder than usual first thing, it seems alot more eager to shift and when it does it's quite quick. Drive more sedately or in traffic and it seems to favour smooth shifts.

Just to add to this I am pretty stoked with the fuel economy improvement.

I was averaging 6.4km/l or 512kms per tank.

This is the second tank I had since the tune.

With this tank I did a return trip to Canberra at 588ks. The rest has been normal Sydney traffic and I have been driving it hard with paddle shift.

I reset the trip meter 5km after filling a tank. So its at call it 700ks with 160ks left to go on the fuel meter reading (which is always slightly overstated)

Even though its highway driving and different to metro I'm pretty stoked as normally would need to refuel halfway back and I'm home with a quarter of a tank left.

Sounds about right.

In my 2009, driving Sydney to Melbourne (and not behaving myself, ;) ) I got 10.58km/L on the first half and 9.29km/L on the next leg, according to my fuel logging app I use on my phone (MyFuelLog - check it out, really handy). As I'm a bit of a stickler for BP fuel, on the way back I made the mistake of not stopping past the BP in Albury, thinking there was another one further up north but they didn't have Ultimate 98 (and were closed!!). With the trip meter not being able to calculate the remaining distance beyond the last estimate of 30km, I ended up stopping past the Caltex further up and filled up with 69.01L on 663km, so you're pretty close to the mark.

Driving Sydney to Canberra last month, I got 11.88km/L on the return trip. City driving, I average 7.09km/L, again, driving somewhat enthusiastically.

Now, with all that good news, you still haven't told us how much the dyno tune cost. So, tell us the price!

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
