Nistune

Ok well thats good and bad news Good news its actually chipped bas news its not nistune

So how am I able to tune this ecu? I was going to buy a consult cable but now it looks like my ecu is not easily tuneable

Does anyone know who chipped my ecu? like what brand or whatever? cheers for all your help

No it doesn't have a nistune. I has been chipped though... Its got a socket with UV eraseable EPROM

[KiwiRS4T]

You have to get someone like Toshi or Dr Drift to make you a new chip. Better still get a Nistune.

the same way any other chip is done, find someone with a chip eraser etc, its crap though takes ages to get any real changes, just fork out for a nistune, about $300 installed usually and maybe 2-800 for a tune depending how many mods, if its basically stock they prob have a good base map and only need 30mins touching it up.

You don't have to get a nistune as these guys have mentioned but it certainly is the smoothest solution.

Question.

Will a map burnt to the Nistuned ecu be wiped if you disconnect the battery terminals (i.e. the method for resetting the factory ecu)?

No, just like the factory one it will simply revert to the programmed maps, deleting any self adjustment the ECU had made to fuel and ignition maps.

The factory ecu doesn't really learn much, it has a knock map and a normal map, all you really reset is the ecu flags which if accurate will be restored on reset anyway.

So no it doesn't reset anything more than it currently does.

I received my nistune stuff last week

When you order it they ask for ur ecu number on the casing, Now is this to put a stock standard base tune on the chip?

So if I install it, would the car drive/idle like the stock ecu ? Is this fine for the car?

Or is driving around with the nistune chip in the car before it gets tuned a big no no?

They ask for ecu number incase you have an ECU they haven't seen before or can't use (R33 GTR ECU for example), the stock map is pre-loaded (100% the same as the factory map) and will be exactly like driving with an unmodified stock ECU.

Be like you hadn't done anything to it, they will load a stock map on for you, if it was the wrong map or untuned there is a high likely hood it wouldn't even idle so you couldn't do much damage.

[DVS JEZ]

are you going to be doing anymods when you install the nistune?

[SiR_RB]

gonna install the chip this weekend, just need to go out and buy a "solder sucker" to get the old chip out

any tips/pointers as to removing the old chip and putting the new one on?

[Rolls]

practice on a dead motherboard/various dead electronics first so you get it right first time.

[kjb_r33]

Acetone. The chip is glued to the board as well

Matt, I think one our WA guys has been given a bum steer.. I know you do board for auto series 2 Stageas and I was fairly certain you do board for manual series 2 Stageas (RS4S) however he received this reply..

Hi Mike,

Thanks for contacting ***.

The Nissan Stagea RS4S Series 2 with manual transmission has an ECU which is currently not supported by NIStune Software.

Feel free to contact *** should you have any further questions.

Pretty sure he has a 0V801 ECU, can you please confirm? Would have sent you an email but I'm at work

800 in car with mines rom, vin program says i can use 801,

The guy has been misled. MT SII RS4S is supported by Nistune for more than 3 years now.

I'm using exactly 0V801 ECU with nistune and have a mate here who's using Type 4 board programmed with 0V801 image in his AT ECU. Neo ECUs are actually interchangable - I was running RWD R34 ECU (AA500) with my Stagea motor for two months with no problems at all.

[Blizzerd]

Well someone better talk to CRD, because hes the one that gave me the information. 801 is a manual ecu, ill just do what i have in mind, not going to go through stupid resellers

[kjb_r33]

I have an 0v801 ecu sitting here on my desk, complete with type 4 board fitted. It was in my stagea.

[Blizzerd]

Yeah i might buy yours pending how much my fiance gets paid, will be in touch dude
