Dyno Tuning in QLD

[pentae]

Hey Guys,

When the GTR gets here, i'll be giving it a full service and dyno tune.. but I was just thinking, where is the best place in QLD to get this done?

Being awd, do I have to go to some special awd dyno, or will any do? Who would you recommend and how much?

I'm in Brisbane, but I am happy to drive to the Coast for quality..

hmm before everyone else says it: first, do a search, there is millions of threads on this issue. There are a number of places you can take your car that have awd dynos and all have varying plus's and minus's. You'll struggle to get a definitive answer, but from what ive seen I think mercury are the best down your way, I also like Millenium Motorsports. However im sure you'll get alot of ppl from here recommending Gavin Woods, so i'll mention him as well, hes on the Coast. In all honesty it depends on where you want to take your car in the future as well, you need to build a relationship with the workshop as like it or not your car will probably be there a lot....so you want to like the ppl your taking your car to and of course they must be good at what they do. Anyway, good luck and I hope you have fun with your new obsession.

Just use the sponcers dude...

Mercury Motorsport...

If your a member of the club, you also get a discount at Mercury, which could come in handy, especially when you might be spending heaps on tuning

I 2nd them. Millenium Motorsports Don't run a DD, dyno - Thus reads a little lower. I used Matty Spray (spelling?) For a Power Fc tune, was pretty happy with it.

Mercury gets my vote

Everyone seems to be happy with mecury and I know myself I should do a search but seen as this thread is here, ill use it. A power fc is going into my new car and I would like to know if anyone has had mecury wire and or tune their car in regard to this ecu and what they thought of their work? Also how did they find them price wise? I will give mercury a call in regard to pricing, but if they are as good as everyone is saying I might send my car there and use them as my primary workshop for my new car. I have, of course, attended a few dyno days and found them to be extremely professional but I was just wondering what the "customers" thought, especially in regard to pfc's.

Cheers ppl, Matt

what is the tuners experience @ mercury?

my car is nearing completion so i'll be needing a run in tune, and then eventually a full power tune. Mercury are close to home. My car has an EMS Dual Sport ECU which a few previous workshops have had problems tuning with it, Again i dont want to have to pay for someone to learn how to tune an EMS while i pay for it.

i got my r33 done at mercury and couldnt be happier.

i've got a 2530 with a gtr front mount, 550 cc injectors, z32 afm, gtr fuel pump, pfc with boost controller. they installed the injectors, z32 and fuel pump and tuned the pfc. i asked for a fairly conservative tune with as little knock as possible to keep it reliable and they pulled 210 rwkw at 1 bar, (just whilst i learn to drive with that much power).

it would be possible with 1.4 bar to get around 240-250 but then you get into issues with reliabilty. get it retuned in a couple of months.

but i found them to be very helpful and very smart when it came to skylines. and all up it only cost me around $900 to fit the injectors, fuel pump, power fc and boost controller and z32 and also alot of time on the dyno for tuning.

thanks

matty
