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....

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

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 :rofl:

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.

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 .

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 :D

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:

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 .

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.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
