Nistune

[bubba]

Yes, it uses an airflow meter and yes it can be tuned for a z32 item, pretty sure there is no map sensor support at this stage.

sweet the answer i was after, thanks for the reply mate

[meet07]

I just shipped out my ecu to get nistune'd up...Cant wait to play with it. Ill be adding a few new goodies as well.

Can you say biger turbo!!

[Sheriff Wan]

Im using one with an RB25 & z32 ecu

You can check the results in the RB 25 upgrade thread.

Made 218 @ 14 psi

Very good bit of kit

Hey guys I have a question. I am keen to have my ecu rechipped, with nistune

but I also have a ecutalk v2 display, I was wondering if the 2 were

compatible and if my ecutalk display would still work after having nistune installed.

I have done several searches on google and various forums and I have been unable to find any info.

any help would go a long way thanks.

Nistune still operates with the standard nissan consult instructions. The Nistune features operate with an extended version of nissan consult

[bubba]

Pretty sure Consult works the same as normal once Nistuned (I know my remap did and I'm pretty sure that was done with Nistune but without a daughterboard for live tuning), I was running Datascan on the carpc.

Awesome to hear. Thanks guys.

hey ppl, might be a silly question but does nistune use an afm?? eg, if wanting to upgrade to a z32afm, is it needed or not??

cheers

If someone was to make a map sensor replacement module for the nistune/stock ecu would there be much interest in something like this?

It can certainly be built but if theres no interest I won't bother researching it.

[Crans]

already looked into this. Should be very simple, read in map sensor values read in air temp sensor add correction factor output 0 - 5v signal back to the ecu. Main thing would be the need for a complete retune of entire map, but this effort could be minimized with extensive logging of afm and map values in parallel(Similar to the holden MAFless tunes). I believe some one has also used TPS as loading on an NA Vl commodore using nistune

Yep if you did no correction and just made sure it was linear in the range used from 0-5v it would still be very easy to tune.

Ah so many ideas and so little time. Need to get my car running and buy a decent oscilloscope so I can finish the VCT controller I've been carrying on about.

I can confirm my ecutalk v2 display (and 1.3.x windows software) work fine in my nistune'd R32 GTR. love the new 2.02 firmware with the user-configurable alarms and am gagging for the eventual logging to micro-sd.

hey guys i just bought a r32 gts4 and was thinking of doing the nistune upgrade for the ecu, but i want to change it to a manual as well. would i need to get a manual ecu or a gtr ecu? or would it be fine once the daughterboard is installed? don't wanna upgrade then find out i need a new ecu lol.

[darkhalf]

the daughterboard can be reprogrammed for different ROM images. bascially we can put a manual program in auto ECU no problems

GTR ECU is completely different you wont be needing that in a GTS-4 unless doing an RB26 transplant with twin AFMs

[bubba]

Are the daughterboards for 32GTSt and 32GTR the same?

Reason I am asking is I am looking at Nistuning my 32gtst but if I max out my z32 afm, I am wondering if I can swap the daughterboard in to a 32GTR ECU and get a GTR image loaded on there ? (and then run a GTR engine harness and twin afm's)

[Crans]

Both are type 2 boards and both ecu's use the same processor so it should just be as simple as burning the 26 rom to the board and tuning from there.

[Lucius]

Wanting to buy a board and tunning package to have a play with.

Any one else using it? What do you think f it?

How do you buy it? Ive sent emails no one answers

I bought and installed my Nistune daughterboard direct from the guys that make it.

It is installed in my S13, and was tuned by Mark @ MRC dyno in castle hill. I haven't had any issues with it, and for the price i think it is an excellent option.

[Randon_I_Am]

got a question for ya's

i have a type 4 daughter board in my r34.

I know that the daughter board has its own EEPROM that we can change the values in while tuning in nistune software. And the original ECU's EEPROM stays unchanged, we just tell the ECU to read from our new EEPROM. Is this correct?

If this is correct, could i tune my car on pump fuel 98, then take the hex file from the daughter board's EEPROM and burn it into the original ECU's EEPROM, then re-tune the daughter board as usual on e85 fuel? then i just have to run a couple of switch wires from the jumper pins on the original ECU to the dash and i have instant capability to drive on either fuel.

But is it even possible to burn a new image into the original ECU?

and can anyone see any major flaws in my idea?

[Crans]

Get a tune for 98 and get a tune for e85 use the nistune software to switch between the maps

[Randon_I_Am]

yeah, but i was just thinking about doing it without have to have a laptop handy...
