Is this tune worth it.
Hey guys I am looking at doing some NA tuning to my 15' 370Z towards the end of this year. I have been given a quote and summary of the upgrade from one of the tuners here in Australia as follows:
Stillen or Injen long ram intakes Stillen headers Invidia high flow catted front pipes Invidia cat back exhaust system Oil cooler kit Alloy radiator upgrade UpRev ECU tuning licence Labour and dyno tuning I was quoted ~$8800 AUD (~$6600 USD) and told this will make around 230rwkw I am nub when it comes to cars and tuning so just wondering if you guys rekon this is worth it for an NA upgrade? |
That price is highway robbery.
|
That's forced induction money. Source/import the parts yourself and have it remotely tuned by one of the US tuners such as Soho or Specialty Z. Even with shipping and import taxes (not sure what it is for Australia) you should still end up saving quite a bit compared to what they're trying to charge you.

Yea man price should be closer to 5500 USD, I'd look for all the parts myself, stated above, Heck buy some stuff used off here :). One thing make sure is who and when you install the parts THEY better not be charging you to install the HFC's it TP's, those come off to install the headers and the the cat back exhaust has some cross over labor with the HFC's or TP's as well so that should be discounted also.
Tune with ECUTEK, you thank us later :) |
Ok thanks for reply guys. But I think Australia is generally more expensive anyways for parts and tuning high performancr cars.
Anyways, what do you think about the power output, is ~230rwkw what I should expect from this sort of NA upgrade? And about the forced induction upgrades, I have been quoted around $15000-$22000 AUD for Supercharger or TT including labor and supporting mods from a number of tuners around Australia. |
Yikes! No way! Go somewhere else.

You can install all this by yourself and save tons of money, troll the for sale sections. Lot of good things come up
