which mechanic to go to for tuning?

[rb26dett]

hey guys need some help on this subject. as some of you know, i'm driving a gtr 33 and have gotten the following parts to install on my car when i come back to oz.

power fc, avc-r, nismo fuel regulator, hks front pipe and hks cam pulleys.

anyone knows of a respectable tuner who will not blow my engine while advancing the duration of my standard cams pls let me know. i need a tuner who knows what he is doing with a gtr so that i will be able to extract maximum hp with the mods i have.

thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure Gavin could do all this. I asked him one day if he could tune SAFC's and he said yes. He's always got numerous GTR's in his shed too.

I guess the best solution would be to ring Gavin and just ask him if he could fit all the stuff you want.

yea luke was telling me about gavin too. sorry but i do not have his contact details, could anyone help me out? also, he's on the coast rite? i'm kinda looking for someone in the brisbane city area. i know of only chapman n chapman who are good around skylines and would like to know if there are more mechanics who know their way around an rb26.

anyways thanks nismogirl for that info.

hey tze you could'v told us you are buying parts oversea right now...

I would't mind some defi-link gauges, only wish if they sell them at airports or near it as I'll be doing stop overs at singapore for few hrs middle of january.

as for adjustable cam pulleys, do some search on SDU there were threads about turbos shuffle even with stock rb26 turbos as soon as you change cam timings with pulleys, more to do with twin turbos and factory non balance pipe ex manifold designs.

Since you are mainly after ecu tuner with the cam pulleys/power fc probably see lachlan at chiptorque? As most of other things are bolt on which can be done fairly quick at most bris shops.

i'll be coming back to singapore every 6 mths n will be able to take your orders then. are you saying that advancing the cam timing would destroy the turbos? i don't understand what you meant by shuffle.

anyways, defi-link gauges are not cheap here either becos u need to buy the computer thingie that records the gauges' activity n plays them back. without the comp, the gauges won't work. anyway, let me noe wat u're looking at n i'll see if i can get some quotes.

rb26dett....Try John Whitaker over @ Brisbane tuning 33931588, they are @ the Gabba... u seen his 260Z c/w RB26 conversion with mods??......PHAT!!!

Check some of the other threads they are in agree-ance on the quality of the work that is displayed by these guys.

Definitely agree with JNR79... Has done some qualityt work not only on his own car (RB26DETT) but another couple of R33 GTR's..

Should have no problem being able to help you out with your GTR..

Speak to John..
