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.

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
