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

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.

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.

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 :P

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.

    • 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.
