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

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
