Hi Folks

Ive done a bit of a search but couldnt find an answer so if there is one out there and ive missed it, plz dont shoot

my question is, I have an r32 gtr - I would like to have dual exhausts from the turbo back, however I'm not sure how this will affect the o2 sensor setup...

There's a reason they merge the pipes, if you really want to have twin exhausts do it like they do on V8s and use a cross over pipe, this way you use the exhaust system more effectively increasing flow and also avoiding this problem.

cool thanks for the advice, i think thats the easiest thing to do rather than messing around with the o2 sensors

From what I understand there are 2 o2 sensors for the 'before cat' and 'after cat' positions, my concern is if one could put a dual setup on a gtr and use either a single pipe as an enrichment template, OR if i could add another 2 o2 sensors and then aggregate and halve the values produced to nistune

Im not a mechanic and I really dont know how this all works, however I just want to know if its possible to run dual pipes, and how I may go about it

Thanks

Its simple, gtr's have 2 o2 sensors, one for each turbo

No one actually picked up on this... There is only pre-cat O2 sensors on a GTR, the post cat sensor is an EGT for sensing when the cat is too hot only.

Running twin pipes full length will be no problem at all, just disconnect the post cat egt (plugged in under passenger seat then through floor).

I for one would be curious how a full twin system would sound :D

correctamondo there is two o2 sensors on a gtr in each dump pipe and a egt sensor near the cat pretty much does Jack all tho so don't worry about it. But have good o2 or new ones to get good closed loop in nistune

beat me to it. yeah the 02 sensors are in the dump pipe, so you could run a twin system with twin cat's if you wanted. might struggle for space though. you'd probably only want to run a twin 2.5" system or maybe 2.75" system, because unless you are running some big power that is all you'll need (a twin 2.5" system will have a bigger volume than a single 3" system).

two 2.5 catco cats would work nice on a twin system but unless you are wanting to push a 1000+ hp a good 3 inch or 3 1/4 will do the job.

Plus you can buy them off the shelf and runing a custom twin system would be a right pain.

Hi guys,

Ive read through this post but i havent really come accross with an answer so i thought ill just ask!

I know that to run nistune in a r33 you'll either need a r32 ecu or a 300 ecu but does anyone know if nistune are planning to make a board thats compatible with the standard r33 ecu considering most the other models can run nistune standard?

Will sound the same unless you move the pipes to different sides of the car or you are standing directly behind it.

Personally I would still use a cross over pipe, reasoning being is only 1 cylinder is firing at once, if you have twin separate pipes then the single pulse is only going out one pipe, if you have a cross over pipe then its going out both pipes.

Obviously with a turbo and the compression of the exhaust gases the pulses basically merge into a constant flow, but there are still some gains to be had by using a cross over pipe.

Hey guys,

I have got a R33 GTS4 with an rb25det. Took the car down to a tuner today only to call me back up saying he cannot place the Z32 nistuned ecu in it due to it being AWD. How can I get past this as I really don't want to give up my midrange power by losing my VCT?

how does the engine computer affect the AWD in the transmission on these? With Z32 ECUs you still have VCT but with R32 ECUs you need an external VCT controller (based from RPM signal)

anyone know if nistune are planning to make a board thats compatible with the standard r33 ecu

I was planning at one stage but the extra work with complete new board design, prototyping etc, new firmware and very difficult installation made it a difficult one to approach

Coupled with Z32/R32 ECUs now provided as viable alternatives means the effort to make boards for these is no longer viable (especially with my current work load)

They finally worked it out and have put in a z32 ecu after downloading a new image. Just got it done yesterday and have noticed my slip light randomly stays on until I turn the car off. I haven't tested it if its running RWD as do not want to do any harm.

This seems to be a common problem with some GTRs however I know this is caused by nistune or the tuner themselves. Anyone got any clues?

Apart from this light coming on every now and then my car is running better than I ever expected, love Nistune :P.

i had mine dynoed with a z32 then with the r32 and lost no midrange at all?

To the best of my knwledge:

No!

The Z32 ECU is supposed to run alright so Nistune (Matt) won't be doing this board ..

R32 ECU = No Variable Cam Timing!

Z32 ECU = Variable Cam Timing Works

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
