Hey All,

Dunno if this is news to every1 here or not, but to me it is something new.

Turbo Tune in adelaide have just cracked the standard r33 ecu and are offering full retunes for $600!

Mike, (from turbo tune), told me he can tune it to every detail that you can a power FC.

I have heard for years they cannot be touched, but there you go. Stuff buying that PFC now! lol.

let me know if ne1 wants more details.

Thanks, Jack

BTW - I got my dump pipe (from exhaust technology, 3" open mouth) and a catback setup ready to go in. Might try do it this weekend :laughing-smiley-014: Still got $800 left to blow atm, so maybe the front mount? Followed by fuel pump, then a good tune :D

Already have the pod, boost control and pointless blitz BOV. Should be sweet, 7 weeks to recieve licence back, yay! hahaha

Yea its already possible to remap the r33 ecu.

I had mine done last year in Sydney for the new highflow turbo, fmic, fuel pump, etc.

It only cost me $350. It removes the rev limit, speed limit, etc.

When you plan to do it, you should make sure that you get all your mods done first as then you have to pay another $600 for a retune.

The reason I had to go with it is because I have an auto gear box.

If you ever plan on upgrading/changing parts... The R33 tune/edit is not really cost effective (unless they now use daughter boards/re-burn chips etc).

Because as above, once you change one part. You pay out for a full new chip/burn/tune.

Where with (for eg) a PFC, it would be a $100-200 adjustment or so on a dyno. So you can do a lot of development work & part swapping for cheaper over all price in the long term.

the hand controller is so much more appealing than the nissan consult stuff

plus you can change most of the stuff without a laptop or clunky home made software

takes 2 seconds, anyone can do it, lots of tuners can tune them and they hold their

in fact theyve gone up in value recently which is pretty funny

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
