Experience with Performance Plus in sunshine for tuning?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I’m thinking of upgrading my R33 GTR with bigger turbos and need a good tuner closer to my home in Caroline Springs so was thinking of Performance Plus in Sunshine where Nismo (or Nisma whatever works) once was. Any one used them for tuning before and how was the service and was results vs cost descent?

I usually get my car serviced and tuned at Chasers when I lived closer to there but now it’s getting a little far.

By the whatever happened to Nismo anyways? Sorry guys I’ve been out of the car scene for a few years after getting married and having kids.

Thanks

Alex

Don't know anything about them but you have a GTR, it's worth travelling to have the car tuned, travel within reason shouldn't be a factor imho. For a GTR you can't go past racepace, live, breath and eat gtr/rb. An hour worth of travel that will definitely be worth it.

If you were happy with Chasers and they are a little bit further away then stock with them. 

Don't know what happened to nisma but going to a place because it's simply closer does not work out well for most people.

Thanks guys. It's not that I don't want to travel a bit more (although it is part of the equation), I like to try new places and have heard descent things about Performance Plus. So no one has had GTRs tuned here?

Chasers are pretty good. If you want someone who just deals with GTRs especially r33's it will be worth the drive to go to race pace. I've been to a few places and race pace hands done shits all over the other guys. I retuned my car there and they got an additional 30kw at the wheels with less boost. It's running 370kw at the wheels now.

I take my cars to RacePace. When i'm not around (which is starting to feel like always), I tow truck it to them. It's only about $100 from the city, so factor in another $50 from your side of town.The tow truck driver doesn't even need to know how to start it, as long as he has access to the interior (to release handbrake, and pop out of gear).

Gareth and Chris at RacePace have been excellent to work with and explain everything down to the last detail. It must be annoying for them as every customer must start at a similar point of knowledge and Gareth and Chris must both spend half their lives explaining the same things over and over. Would recommend 10/10.

    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
