This would be good to compare tuning houses from OZ to one of the best houses in Japan.

SUB ZERO

RIGOLI

RACEPACE/ICE

CROYDON

TILBROOK

ETC, ETC

Some one go get a really good tune at one of the big shops then go to Smokey and see if he can better it. I have my doubts as some of the OZ shops are quie impressive!

[West]

I think we have great tuners here in who will know more about Aust condition, fuel type...ect. but still full respect to that japanese guy.

[West]

...then again this would be the best time for those who has chipped ECU wouldn't it?

[R31Nismoid]

We already have the best tuner

Benno @ RacePace

Gotta remember, the fuel over here is far different to what the Japanese would normally be used to

[judd]

West, tuning is tuning...Smoky tunes all across the world. Do some research mate.

Tuning comes down to Air/Fuel ratios and timing.

aussie conditions? i think JAPAN has more extreme varients in conditions compared to australia so in return they do have slighter better fuel..

good mate then use him. This is open to people who know a little bit about tuning a car. I suggest for people like yourself wait for some results. They should talk for themselves, not me.

nismoid I didn't know Ben could tune F-con V pro?

[2rismo]

I think it's "Smokey" not "Smoky's". You may call him Nagata-san.

lol, why would you bother?

if only a few here in Aust can tune it.... and then you do a mod to the car that requires a retune... you gonna pay for him to fly over again Brett?

[Morgs]

Can you tune my car for me R31Nismoid

[BU5TER]

Hell no I'm not using one but I know a few people that want to

R31Nismoid actualy did a pretty good job on my car:)

I think its cool that he is coming out here to tune cars, but i suspect there could very well be better tuners locally for certain ECUs. The fact that he can tune the HKS etc ecus will help out some:)

Remember to take him to Kings Cross, The Bourbon & Beef Steal, a Parra V Bulldogs game and Parra Speedway, otherwise he will never really understand why we are the way we are:thumbsup:

Can you tune my car for me R31Nismoid

no i cant. ive never claimed to be a tuner.

[R31Nismoid]

Hell no I'm not using one but I know a few people that want to

but what happens when you change you I/C or a plenum and you need a retune on a F-Con V?

[judd]

R31 please post your negative thoughts and opinions to me at jball@challenger.com.au

or PM.

sounds like you are full of knowledge. and yes I will be bringing Smoky here again and again, as the demand is there.

also if you change you I/C or plenum down the track Im sure it can work around his irregular visits for now, btw how often to you upgrade your car?

[R31Nismoid]

im not being negative in my thoughts.

read all my posts. i'm being logical, and realistic if anything.

I need not go over them again.

You NSW all seem to get up on the wrong side of the bed

I upgrade my car when i feel i can gain something more, or something is lacking

As with most people.

ok great. so if you could pm me with your ideas.

obviously you dont want a tune and you are supporting your local tuner which is great, good on you. I am bringing Smoky here because I have found from experience no one I dont care how long they have been in Australia (which has nothing to do with it anyway) All am going on is experience..and please tell me if i'm wrong but i beleive Top Secret has more experience with Skylines and performance cars for many more years that just about any tuner in this country.

things like tuning cam gears etc would take someone with 1000+ cars under his belt much less time to tune than a person with say 50?

[R31Nismoid]

not really. as every car is undoubtably different... 10 cars or 100 cars.

Yeah, some are similar and techniques used are of that nature also.

its a challenge from the get-go, and thats what tuners love im sure.

Each RB motor is different too.

I dont doubt his abilities at all. He is a well respected tuner in Japan. Im just not one too get too excited when things in Australia are just as good as OS, and if not they are getting there very fast in the past 2-3 years.

I doubt the japanese would get too excited if we sent one of our tuners over there who was just as good

They are loyal people the Japanese

[judd]

I was expecting a PM. this is not a chat room. Can this thread please be locked, all geniune interest in tuning please PM or email jball@challenger.com.au

i've got to do some work too...

if they were just as good im sure the japanese would be outsourcing...MOTEC is huge in Japan for many of the big workshop cars as its an excellent ecu, and is known as the cream of the crop, but they are still tuned over there.

Who made your TV at home R31? Japan is known for there electronics, so leave it to the professionals as they would say? enough said.

please lock the thread.
