yeah was thinking there, im from devonport so would be a bit of a mission but worth it to get a good tune

geez, nearly be easier chucking it on the ferry! RPM/Race Pace isnt too far away.

In the south there are a few options, Nicks summers/GT Garage or Andrew Kuc/Pro Automotive are the only two I'd consider down here. Andy has been tuning my car since 2007 and its still pumping good power with zero issue. 40 odd thousand kays on his tunes with track days and regular floggings and has never missed a beat and makes 50 odd kw's more than it probably should.

awesome man, i will be making the trip to hobart i reckon, thanks for the info ;)

i had mine done by Nick, i am from Burnie, def worth the trip, get a few mates and make it a day trip! i haven't asked Nick, but have been told he was taught by the same guy that taught Andy, so should be in good hands with either :D

Nick learnt the basics when he was working in Melbourne for Sam/Dr Drift but majority of what he knows is self taught.

One of the most genuine guys you will ever meet and you only have to look at cars like Ben's 180 (current and old) to see what he's capable of doing.

not doubting nicks work as i have good reports, but when i was waiting for my car to be done i waited 6 months for him even after having 1k cash sitting in my pocket but i never heard back from him.. im sure hes different now hes full time at his own workshop but i found sthe Shaw boys who know my car well and ill stick with them ;) 215k on engine and still going strong except for me setting it on fire haha.

No need to reply but we both know there are two sides to your story Funz :D.

As for Nick and Andy being taught by the same person, not sure where that came from. Definitely not true.

At the end of the day which tuner questions are asking for trouble on forums. If you're happy with your current tuner stick with him/her, if you're not look elsewhere.

Ben

doesnt have one, hence why he asked for advice

atm 32 is getting some loving with repairs, sourced a new low K engine to swap over in it and rebuild the current one in it for targa eventually, also got the 31's suspension swapped over for stock items.. man its nice not feeling every pebble on the road lol.. next in line for 31 is exhaust and a few other little things then planning better paint lol

hehe , i bought a r31 the other day , and a second to make 1 nice car outta 2 , so i'll soon have a s2/3 ti manual for daily duties so i can take the laurel off the road to put a bigger heart in it (rb25 will take place of the 20 )

    • I have one and it was at ~43.5PSI.
    • Put a pressure gauge on the fuel rail.
    • I've uploaded logs / the current map to Gdrive if anyone has any ideas. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FPnr22Z-EilG7tYdHSi0Qb07P2jfFLKV?usp=sharing
    • I'm running a Haltech Platinum Pro with the stock map for the RB20DET + tweaks for my build. When I started it this morning, the IAT was at 32F/0C (Outside temp was ~42F) and the AFRs went off the scale for my AEM gauge. I let it run for ~30 seconds then turned it off. I then did a smoke test, by hooking into a vacuum line directly behind the throttle body, and confirmed there was no leaks ( i let the smoke tester run for ~5 minutes / confirmed it was generating smoke before hand ). I then started the car again, after fixing a power steering leak.... and it seemed to be happy for ~30 seconds (was at ~11/12), but then seemingly shot back up to ~18 again. I then let the car run for a few minutes, thinking this was just cold start related, but the AFRs never came back down. I didn't let the car fully warm up, so maybe this makes sense, but I'm not sure what to do? The AFRs, when I last ran it, were normal, but because of personal reasons I haven't been able to break in the car. It was rebuilt last year.
