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

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
