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

3. Where u did it - Unigroup Engineering in Sydney

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.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
