It sounds a bit expensive then what every one else has said but they did tune the car all day as he was ringing me as he did it. so for all the time and the end result i think it was worth it.

Cheap tunes arent always good tunes, my last tune cost me about $8k in a rebuild so-far

yea your rite, for an extra few hundred its worth goin sumwer wer they will do a decent job, atelast you will save yourself the $$$ thousands in the long run if it blows up

i pay 900 at racepace nd can say confidently its worth every dollar...

price: 900

mods: fully rebuilt rb26, cams, turbos, fmic, etc, etc...

Just got mine fitted and tuned at Autotech recently.

Paid around 700+ for the tuning alone (my first tune)

Very happy with the results but not perfect as somehow something is making the boost controller not holding boost.

mmm....I was just thinking the other day how you would have gone with Gavin....so they had it for 3 hours i'm guessing.

1. COST - $700 for full first time tune

2. Mods you have done - FMIC, Apexi Pod Filter, GT3071R, Exhaust, Profec B, Spitfire Coilpacks, 550cc Injectors, Walbro Pump, z32 AFM

4. How long it took - Gave it in about 5 days ago to put the turbo, injectors, fuel pump, AFM and PFC. Should be done in 10 days total

5. Comments - I've heard good things about unigroup and the initial meeting went very well. They have kept me informed of the progress. Will update when I have the car back.

Yea 3+ hours on a 4wd dyno. Made 255awkw @ 1.1-1.15bar boost, 165awkw @ 0.6bar before. Not looking at the figures, the car shit loads faster and smoother. Complete joy to drive now comparing to before.

thanx now i got a price to work with!!

Charged: $100

Mods: FMIC, 3" Turbo Back Exhaust, PFC, RB30DET.

Tuned By: Shaun @ Boostworx in Adelaide, SA

Time Taken: 1hr (I Hung Around)

Comments: Very happy, The 3ltr only 'just' ran on the stock RB20DET 2ltr PFC base map. Very good tune for bugger all bills.

The tune was 90% wot tuning with a few little light load adjustments.

It made 176rwkw with the stock RB20DET turbo running 9psi @ 4400rpm-4950rpm, power drops off rapidly after this rpm.

I've reached the limit of the stock rb20 turbo and injectors as they are hitting 100%.

I will be installing injectors and a larger turbo soon, I've been told the tune will cost $200-$300 as he will have to completely go over the light load map. This is what takes time, not the WOT.

1. COST - $300 for full tune

2. Mods you have done - FMIC, Apexi Pod Filter, HKS GT-RS, Exhaust, E-Boost Street, Spitfire Coilpacks, 550cc Injectors, GTR Pump, Z32 AFM, Tomie poncams, CP Pistons, Jun Style Front facing plenum with 80mm TB.

3. Where u did it - SouthCoast Rotary Performance (in Woollongong, NSW)

4. How long it took - About 4 hours

5. Comments - Excellent tune for the money, being a rotary tuner he knows how to set a good ignition map before taking the fuel out. Engine makes good power, with zero knock. Also spent some time on light load, to improve economy.

    • Omg Brake pedal removal.. FML!!
    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 馃挭馃徏 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
