Thank's for the input guys... Not sure if those having issues when the car was tune at Protek due to time constraint (hiring other's dyno cost more not to mention trying to fit in other's schedule) or just a matter of other factor.

I have seen some good results and some bad results from a lot of different workshops.

There are a lot of different prices out there for tunes - but it does generally seem that you often get what you pay for. My guess is generally where a quote is half the price of somewhere else you will be getting half the time spent on your tune.

Be an interesting thing to hear if people know exactly how many runs were done on their tunes? Usually the runs are logged sequentially. I'm pretty sure on my last dyno tune (which was after a significant set-up change admitidly) was finished on run #32.

I'm not saying every tune needs 32 runs to get it right cause I expect most basic re-tunes to need far less. But I'd hate to have my car tuned somewhere that a quote meant "as good as we can get it in 10 runs". I'd rather go somewhere that would take the extra time IF necessary (at my cost obviously) to finish it off completely. And that could be the difference between a pretty good tune and a great tune.

Golgo was serviced and tuned by Chasers last time.

Was good tune - more/smoother power delivery, but as like others - it knocks a bit when running 1.1bar. Turning the boost down a smidge settles this.

just take it to ice performance, never regret it

I will say that Ice is very good in the fact that if you ever have any issues with tunes etc they are more that happy to take a look at it for you at no cost. I have had some minor issues and Nige has been more than helpfull, went to the extend of letting me drop my car at his place and driving it down and back for me! Now thats service!! :(

Just wondering if there is anything that can be done for an automatic with stock computer.

My car gives shitty gas mileage, much more than i'd expect. Wondering if replacing the O2 sensor would help.

This might be the wrong thread to ask.

Also managed to stall the damn autobox this morning. Does it ever few months, coming to a stop sign.

And also been having ongoing issues, with warm starts. doesnt crank over, after a short drive/stop. eg, petrol station.

Since it is automatic, rules out PFC. Think you can only use piggyback fuel controllers, etc.

How do people tune a standard computer?

Been in similar situation. Check fuel filter first.

Drove to Adelaide to get Martin Donnon to dyno chipped std computer at Morpowa as he was the only one I could find to do it.

Car used half the amount of fuel on the trip back at double the pace:)

Since been told "Dr. Drift" does them also but cant comment on outcome.

It IS off topic, there's an article in latest HPI about beefing up an auto. you can trick the auto with an electronic shift kit which will make your auto runs like a manual. you then have to shift it out of drive, 3 , 2, 1 yourself. Better try grab the magazine and have a read, the article is quite informative.

It's not about how much time you have, it's about how much dedication you have.  Ice worked on my car till 5am on Sat morning and moved the car in at 8:30 in the morning.

And look at the results.

That is dedication...

Not everyone has a financial interest in the business....

:) interesting thread... everyone seems to have their own input but doesnt really seem to be an unbiased nor overly constructive type input... more "these guys did mine good so theyre the best"... roys at least has some proven input which is good allbeit completely off the original question.

the original question was, who HAS had theirs done at chasers... not where did u get urs done and how did it go.

its like watching lawyers trying to grab business from someone whos just been hit by a bus or something lol

There should be... MV Automatics in SA should be able to help you out.

I only ment to ask, whether there is any benefit to taking the car to a (performance) shop that knows skylines inside and out. Will leave it be for now.

True :-)

No point for me making a paralel thread.... Genesis Tuning, Race Pace Tuning, etc... it'll be the same replies :-) But I've managed to get an idea from the responses and would aim for the best tuner. After all it's my baby's engine...

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan 路 Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      By Celticsfan03 路 Posted

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It鈥檒l be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      By WMDC35 路 Posted

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
