Sorry for the bad review

Hey guys, I just picked up my car back from Nixon Automotive in Burnaby, BC. I have been wanting a tune for a while but kind of noticed not much available for the N63 NON-TU engines. As well, I was wanting something local. I know there has been some posts about JR, but I dont think anyone has actually used their or posted about N63 chiptune.



Process:
Nixon took out my ECU, shipped it out to JR in Ontario on Tuesday same day (i paid extra), picked up the car today.

I also deleted the cats from the OEM Downpipes (I'm cheap)

The tune:
Car feels really aggressive, even in Comfort, just a bit too much. Kind of guess I took a loss in that category, but I could not be more happy. Initially I spoke to Jarek (owner of JR) to see if they have a burble tune as well and he said yes. I took the car and when I was downshifting I didn't really hear much of a nice burble so it was a bummer at first, and when I got home I was just kinda pushing the car and heard some aggresive pops and I was again, excited

As a 19 year old, this is what I like, I understand most would think this is dumb and too much

The lag is practically eliminated and boosts very quickly. I could honestly compare the torque to my R35 GTR.

The Gains from the tune is to be, +80hp and +98 ft lbs of torque


Overall I am very happy with the tune and the work done by Nixon Automotive





I will be editing the links when I have time to properly demonstrate the sound of the car

I will soon provide:
0-150 km/h clips
1/4 mile times
Dyno sheets
Audio clips

Hope you guys enjoy

Next desires to my F10 Build:

F10 M5 Front Conversion
Pure Turbos
Intakes
Intercooler

Why do you have so many stickers on a good looking car? It looks like graffiti.

I appreciate your interest, unfortunately it's been raining and I haven't been able to take my car to the drag yet for 0-60, 1/4 mile, or roll racing. But I just took this so you could kind of get the idea (i know you mean MPH, but police is very heavy near me and I am currently on probation

40-120

Extra burble for you guys

To get the exhaust to sound like that what did you have to do? Please tell me you didn't have to remove your Cat's to make it sound like that? I mine to sound like yours and I want to retain the OEM tips.

I have ACS Mufflers, so it would not sound the same. The tone set a really nice base for me, I deleted the Center Resonators (as well as muffler?) i guess you could say. Basically straight pipe all the way to mufflers



Here is an audio link as such, before I gutted the oem downpipes
