go see leon (im pretty sure thats his name) at awesome automotive , they do some good work there. but you might nneed to upgrade ecu etc so have a good budget around $1500+ for the work to be done

Try the basics, plugs, leads,air cleaner, fuel filter, service etc etc. Check your piping for air leaks, check your afm is reading 500ohms.

Give Turbo Tune a call on 82971030 and ask for Michael or Jeff, they can now remap your standard ecu, which is cheaper and they can actually do more with it than with an aftermarket comp, and you can't get defected or anything stupid like that. Only place in Adelaide that can do it and theres a special on now so your looking at roughly $600-650 where its usually a hundred or so more Well worth it buddy. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

No offense but the standard computer can never compete with an aftermarket ecu. It doesnt have the capacity to allow for the fine tuning like an aftermarket ecu.

you won't need it remaped if it's only running $hit, will just be something simple as ntmid8 said, plugs, fuel filter, leads or afm

Miss 3L the VL ECUs are nothing like a VN onwards Delco unit...dont get them confused, theyre old school and money spent on them is a waste, it could be put towards a fully programable ECU, not something that needs to have chips burnt etc each and everytime you do a single mod....I imagine it'd be a profitable little money spinner for the place you work for... Out of interest whats a remap worth? $600? $700? Pfffft, what a waste of money.

Have to agree. Hi-Tech Dyno. Always had John (previously at Turbo Tune) to play with my other 2 VLCT and have just bought my last one and him working on it now....Good luck!

The software called Nistune that turbo tune has can reprogramm the stock nissan ecus just as good as an aftermarket ecu with as many features.
