Nistune

[darkhalf]

Guys it was my bad about the information provided to the workshop mentioned in this thread with regards to compatibility since I mixed up the model numbers. Usually I refer to the Nissan vehicle designation (WC34) rather than trim codes

RS4 Series 1 and 260RS cannot be Nistuned but RS4 Series 2 (with RB25DET NEO) can be. Anything which has ECU part number 23710-0V8xx in it can be done with Nistune Type 4 boards. Hope that helps

Thanks Matt, I was pretty sure that was the case

My nistune doesn't show knock and the 'consult gauges' don't open either...

Anyone know why? Or how to fix?

[darkhalf]

You emailed me this q over the weekend? Not replied yet but only VLT, S13 CA18 and HCR32 currently have knock reporting active

Other models dont yet because I have to dig through Nissan/JECS code to find the memory locations where knock is recorded and add extra code to spit it out the consult port. Currently BNR32 and Z32 have identified locations but cant seem to get it working yet

So your knock count will be zero. I'm going to hide this gauge to avoid future confusion

As for the 'consult guages' not appearing, check under 'windows' menu and cascade them in case its hiding off screen for some reason

i see, thanks

multiple consult gauges only brings up 3 windows, knock count, inj. duty, TP(load ind)

ahh well michael, glad i didnt spend to much time setting up the knock map.

have you tried the gauges display as Matt suggested? from memory the consult display works but the gauges window doesnt work.

[SiR_RB]

yeh hehe

consult gauges work, thats the window we had open during tuning, but the multiple consult gauges only opens 3 windows, inj duty, knock count and TP..

when i first got it and had the consult plugged in, the multiple gauges were working

Havent read anything in this post for a long time but i thought i might input this:

Ran a RB31/26DETT without problems.

R33 GTST S1 harness without VCT hooked up

Q45 Throttlebody

Twin Q45 AFMs through Apexi SAFC-II (2 in 1 out with average output)

1600CC injectors through GTR resistor pack

R32 GTR coils

and much more..

While it was beeing built:

Worked a treat, sad to see the engine gone, sold it some months ago.

[DVS JEZ]

What power did it make?

[brother_david]

Never had it dynoed, would guess about 700hp at 1.5 bar w/ bad tune running low 10s AFR.

How accurate is the 'timing' displayed in the nistune consult gauges for setting base timing ??

[Moodles2]

The fact your trying to use the ECU to set the base timing is laughable, the ECU physically has no way of knowing the base timing

[Rolls]

How accurate is the 'timing' displayed in the nistune consult gauges for setting base timing ??

That's like getting a blank ruler, randomly drawing a centremeter mark on it then going how accurate is it for setting the base cm mark on other rulers....

[Torques]

How accurate is the 'timing' displayed in the nistune consult gauges for setting base timing ??

It is as close as it gets .. given that you have aligned the timing mark on the crank pully with what Nistune displays ..

[DVS JEZ]

Base timing was set to 20 degrees with a snap on timing light using a plug lead connected to cyl 1 coil and plug.

Its as accurate as u can get

Whats the max hp the Nistune type 4 can handle. Is it suitable for a 30 25 neo with gtx3582r freddy plenum 1000cc injector hpx1 airflow meter.

Will it be up to the task

Scroll back a bit ^^ to Brother Davids's set up - reckoned it was ok at 700hp

[lcxu105]

He's only guessing at hp.

[KiwiRS4T]

He's only guessing at hp.

? The number's neither here nor there - he has a set up as serious as yours working with Nistune. Although personally I favour an ecu that will also do boost control.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

HP is relative to the AFM, however using those HPX ones inside of a 3" pipe will give you the resolution needed.

Just need to be smart with the TP Load scaler

I love Nistune, especially with the feature pack. Launch and flex support, albeit I've yet to setup a car with the flex support on it. Should have one of the Nissan Silvia boys doing it in a few months.
