im getting all my work done there in a few weeks, rebuilt turbo, installing my intercooler, installing my power fc, installing my avcr and all tuned :()

they are top guys and thus far would HIGHLY reccommend them !!!

they are very good with the prices too, he guy doing the computer side of things (installing fc and avcr plus tuning from scratch)told me ill get change out of $800, the intercooler is costing me $500 to install and my turbo all up including rebuild is costing $2100...

i may be wrong, but im pretty stoked with these prices, please correct me if im wrong???

they said about 4 hours then maybe another 1 for cam gears, thats a damn good hourly rate.

Thinkin about doing a tuning course, costs about 1 g and I could charge others hehe

sounds good, where is this tuning course?

most places charge between 130-150(MAX) per hour to tune in nsw anyway, so a 4 hour tune would be generally around 550 and with cam gears say 700 and thats at the most... so 1000 for a tune should get u more than 4 hours if that is the tune that was quoted for $1000.

Well there is always Matty Spry, (do a search in the qld section for his number, he's on the Gold Coast). But again he is not cheap.

I have heard from lots of people that Matty really knows what he's doing. Also I have spoked with heaps of people who have had their car dyno tuned at MM, and none report anything bad.

I had my old r33 tuned there and was more than happy with the outcome, wasnt a PFC tune though, just a SAFC, but was worth it alone just for the petrol consumption saving!!

my tuner did a max power tune for about $200..

pretty good considering most places charge $500 for that :D

When I go back to get the fuel eco fixed should only take an hour or so aparantly..

So should only cost an extra $120-150 for the dyno time..

thats the problem with us up here in QLD everything is double the price of elsewhere, i got a rough idea to tune my safc at stafford tune and he was talkin around the $1100 mark :angry:

$1100 to tune an SAFC ??? !!!!

Surely you must have made a mistake?

An SAFC tune would take about 1hr and we charge approx $150.

You could just about ship the car to WA and back for the price....

That has GOT to be incorrect with the pricing :(

$1100..jesus !

We are living in the wrong state.

1. COST

$450 is the standard fee for a full retune not including adj cam gear.

2. Mods you have done (mechanical mods not stereo mods)

exhaust, fmic, exhaust cam gear, powerfc, fuel pump, bleed valve, splitfire coils

3. Where u did it

unigroup engineering sydney

4. How long it took

dont know was not there

i am extremely happy, i have waited a long time to get a retune due to several circumstances....

the car was tuned somewhere else with the same mods previously, as was lacking power and running extremely rich. when i took it to unigroup they ran it without any changes and it pulled 155rwkw, when finished tuning peak power was 186rwkw,

the car was making more and more power over the previous tune from 3500rpm and upwards, and the range of producing power was moved from a max 6500rpm to approx 6900rpm so now pulls nearly to the redline instead of dying off.

peak power was at approx 9psi, boost was 10psi dropping to 9-9.5psi higher in the revs.

1. COST

$530 for PowerFC + Ex Camgear Install + Tune

2. Mods you have done (mechanical mods not stereo mods)

exhaust, fmic, exhaust cam gear, powerfc, ebc, pod

3. Where u did it

unigroup engineering sydney

4. How long it took

Dropped the car off at 9am, picked it up all ready to go at 5pm on the same day

5. Comments

Im happy with it. Very smooth all to redline. I was pretty desperate for a tune during my annual leave and Unigroup were more than happy to help. Fit me in on short notice and did everything all in one day.

Prices were very good as well for a cam gear install + tune. He said normally they might charge more, but they still charged me the orignal quoted price.

Yavuz was good at explaining what they did and what might need looking at in the future.

In the end, the car made 206rwkw on a very hot day in sydney

Will happily go back for any other mods in the future

  • 3 weeks later...

i got a few quotes 2day for u qlders, they all said 200 an hr, and around 3 to 4 hrs to do it

how the f**k its takes sumone 4 hrs to tune a car has got me f**ked but anyway.

my mate told me today that he was speaking to a guy that got his car tuned at mecury, they fitted a fuel pump for him that didnt quite fit, so they beated out the tank to make it fit....... nice one boys!!!

1. COST

$615 incl GST for PowerFC + Walbro Fuel Pump + Boost controller (GFB Atomic manual) + Tune

2. Mods you have done (mechanical mods not stereo mods)

turbo back exhaust, rebuilt engine, rising rate reg, pod

3. Where u did it

Mercury Motorsport

4. How long it took

Dropped the car off at 7am, picked it up all ready to go at 5pm on the next day (had the car on the second day for cold start)

5. Comments

The car is 100 times better, idles smooth, does not run rich, better fuel economy. The car is on a very safe tune as standard cooler and turbo. Also can run air con without hiccups that were occuring before.

160rwkw on 10psi, well 9 if you measure it at peak power...massive improvement in the low and mid range as well.

Now its just som etim eot turn up the wick after and FMIC!!!

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
