Hey guys, My line is currently having a rebuild done with all the goodies. Running a T76 and power FC. I don't trust anyone in tassie to tune the thing, just after ideas of who would be best in melb to take it to. Heard good things about ICE and Race Pace, but not sure.

Cheers, Paul.

They are a different art form, although Ben is a great tuner and engine builder, there are good tuners that can’t build engines and good engine builders that can’t tune :(

Ben gets my VOTE!

where is this race pace joint?

There are a few guys here that know how to build a good motor, but as far as tuning it goes, 'the best' told me I wouldn't be able to get anymore than 280rwkw with a powerFC cos they are to restrictive. And I know that to be incorrect.

Will go with race pace I think. Cheers.

i have heard nothing but good stuff about benno from race pace and have a great deal of repsect for him and the work he does. but i only take my car to paul from chasers tuning, he is the ex chief engineer of motec, so knows his tuning, good luck with ur tune tho mate.

I Live in Deer Park, and i wouldnt let anyone else tune my car!! Its worth the distance and the wait!!

hoppers crossing here....is that closer or further?

i spoze if u want it done right, an hour isnt so far to travel

ICE will probably do the job, though they are just amateurs when compared to RacePace. I don’t know how much they charge for a tune, I do know you will pay top dollar at RacePace. So if you want a quick/cheap tune ICE might be the guys to see. While RacePace are quite expensive just consider the fact that they are the best import tuners in Victoria and possibly even Australia. So you get what you pay for :(

I cannot quote exactly what Ben will charge you … I estimate;

$150 / hour

About four figures for a PowerFC tune … of course I could be wrong so ring them!

i rang up race pace just now..

$600-750 ;)

I wish i had the money to spend :D

I'll goto ice performance though I think, im sure they'll do a great job :)

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
