sky34 where ever you go make sure they have a datalogger for your pfc as it will save a lot of time on the dyno $$$$ and where and tear on the car

without datalogger a lot of companies quote 5 to 6 hours

with datalogger at hyperdrive my first tune took less than two

thats a big different in $$$ at a $100 plus an hour

Sometimes what you pay is what you get. Let's say you go to someone who's not so good, you might have to go back multiple times as they can't seem to tune your car properly. So in the end, you pay more than what you thought you'd do.

A common case back home where i'm from. Take an evo 8 with motec. 3 times into the workshop for a dyno tune, each costing $400 couldn't settle the problem. 1 time at a more reputable workshop and with $900. Everything is settled and good to go. If he had just taken the more exp way. He'd save 1.2k. But of course there are always problems. Even the best of dyno tuners do run into a wall once in a while, so you can't really blame them. It's an art.

Oh yeah, there's an idemnity form if you didn't know, so if they blow up anything in your car, they arn't liable. And if your tuning is bad .. well they always tune it rich cause it dosn't blow ur engine as opposed to lean.. then there is a possibility that your engine will blow too. Factor all these in before picking out a place.

Just my .5 cents worth. :P

Basic R34 with PFC is an easy job most tuners can handle in a few hours max.

Yeah, agree with that. Hahah, my friend had a jun cams, forged pistons, Some aftermarket turbo i think a GT30R? But i'm not sure, and a whole lot of other goodies. 500hp with 600+ NM worth of torque.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
