Where to Tune a GTR in NSW

[Demon]

Hey guys,

This question might've been asked already...sorry about this but I need to know where GTR owners recommend their car to be tuned. I'd be casing a tuner with a 4wd dyno.

I've had my previous GTR's tuned at Croydon Autosports in the past and they do a great job but money is a real issue for me now and they can be expensive.

I was thinking about taking it to Autotech at Granville....

Let me know where you end up going.

Im waiting to finalise all my parts before i go to a 4wd dyno tuner

[600hp]

Is it really worth saving a few dollars on a very expensive car and go with someone that not as well regarded or had nearly as much experience as Jim at CRD???

in the long run it will be cheaper to pay a little more up front, than have to worry about some back yard tune.... Rebuilding a Tough RB26 can cost big money, Trust me I Know!!!

I am not doubting Autotec's ability to tune a GTR, but i can guarantee that they wouldn't have tuned a third of the amount that Jim has... Experience is everything

[Demon]

600hp, what you're saying is true but I'm sure that there are some other good tuners out there....

isn't there?????

I was going to get mine tuned at bel.

But they dont have access to a 4wd dyno

I'm using Adam from JEM, I'm pretty sure if you speak to him he could hire a 4wd dyno as his is only 2wd

All he does is tune all day everyday no mechanical work so you'd be hard pressed to find someone with more experience

http://www.justenginemanagement.com/ I've always found 100% honest, fair and a great tuner which is about all you can ask for

i had mine tuned at HITMAN. I thought he was pretty good. just like boofiveters tuner all Matt (hitman) does is tune. so he certainly knows his sh1t.

no 4wd dyno though, but i'm sure he could get to one.

Adam is a top bloke and knows his stuff too... Ill be going there in a few weeks !

I had mine tuned at two places(RUF PERFORMANCE and a mate who tuned a few cars before) before going to CRD

Jim done the best tune buy far,the car feels like it has a factory tune in it and he got more power out of it then the orthers did.

Im running a POWER FC,4 inch exhaust,cam gears,pods,everything else is stock (GTR R33 LM) and it makes 250klw at all the wheels,it ran flat 12s on street tyers at the creek 2 weeks ago dont waste your money go and see jim

I had my old 33 gtr tuned at bel and it ran 11.7 @121 mph @wsid on 18" street tyres . The only mods , full exhaust , power f/c and 1.2 bar boost , everything else stock , even stock airbox .

Ben knows his stuff and he has the jap software for power f/c's .

He doesn't have a dyno but he is moving very soon and then he will have a 4wd dyno .

When i finish my r34 it will be tuned by bel , thats for sure .

If the ECU was an Autronic would people recommend CRD or SAS??

I would have to reccomend Advan Performance in Silverwater, they are the only one's who i trust with my car and they have made some very good and reliable power out of GTR's eg. one particular R32 GTR running a T78 426kw atw they only have a rwd dyno but they pull the front shaft on GTR's for tuning. they know GTR's inside out

They are good but you have to $$ if you want to go there to give you an idea , price of a install for a boost controller $1000 inc tune . My face after he told me ... priceless .

so you're the GTR that ben talked about :wassup:

[wrxhoon]

You can get dynos to read whatever you want them to , the proof is on the track .

we have another 33 that ben tuned it only makes 290 kw @ all 4 but it did run 11.33@ 124 mph , so there you go .

That is all just from a street tune right wrxhoon?

Exactly, Jerry. There is more to it than just max power. I bet you that 33 makes more average power than one with a higher peak power figure.

It does definatly come down to the area under the curve but that doesn't mean you can't have a relativley high peak power with good mid range etc too.
