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. :laugh:

any help would go a long way thanks.

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.

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.

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

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)

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.

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?

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
