Hey guys and gals, I know there is software out there where you are able to fully program your ecu via a laptop. Does anyone know where to get it or whats it called so i can find it online ??? or does it come with the fully programmable computers that are worth like $3000 + ??? Any help would be nice cheers : :(

You can purchase all the required gear for ~ a few hundred but then you need dyno time and some one willing to let you do the tuning. Its not feasible unless your trusted and good mates with a dyno owner.

I guess you could grab a wide band and make up a pair of det cans but road tuning is the good ol Aussy word 'dodgy'. :)

no idea mate. Look him up and ask him I guess - I don't know his number.

Or better still give Pete Liebig a call and tell him Andrew Nuske with the black R34 sent you. I don't have his number, but here is his email:

[email protected]

He and his team have been cracking all the Nissan ECUs for reprogramming - I am not 100% sure what they have or haven't perfected, but give him a try. They have nearly cracked R34 ECUs so I am going to be their tune guinea pig - Pete tells me the stock ECU when cracked and modified offers an even greater range and ability of tuning than a PowerFC! They have developed laptop based tuning software too - maybe they sell licences for it. But they have a workshop and dyno for tuning anyhow. I bought my Datascan licence off them - that is the best Consult software to use for monitoring things.

Thanks.

Yeh im interested in getting datascan as well :).

nope you can't reprogram your stock ECU yourself - I believe Jeff from the SpeedLab can though.

PowerFC software costs $10,000+ I believe.

wow that price is unbelievable - I wonder if it is legit/legal? Methinks not. But either way - even if you bought it you have to get dyno time etc etc - worth it for a few guys to buy and pool resources maybe

Yeah I was thinking the same sort of numbers that you were. Apparently this is legit software as Access Autoworks are the Aussie agent for Apexi.

My mate bought this software and could not get a CD but instead had to download it.

He was then issued a number that could ony be used once to register.

He went through a lot of hassle just to get another number so he could have it on his laptop and desktop.

There has to be a few genius IT guys out there that could get past this hassle then we could all pitch in and order a copy.

Anyone have any experience with NISTUNE ?

I would love 1 day to be able to muck around and tune my own car (to a certain level) ! Might give it a go with the 31 eventually :D

yep Pete Liebig that I mentioned above owns/runs/does the Nistune ECUs and software. I didn't know he has a website. He is currently working on more Skyline models, but the R33 has an unusual chip that they have had a lot of trouble cracking - same too with the S15 and R34s. They are hoping to have a solution soon, and I will be their guinea pig :(

So im assuming they are based in adelaide ?

Be interesting to see how the tune goes with your car ! Please keep us up to date.

Read a little bit about NISTUNE in the Forced Induction section and its getting some very positive feedback. I might be keen on getting them to help me out with an RB26 ecu and maybe give me some hints as to how to tune/use the program (if they are in Adelaide that is.) :)

yeah Vlad they are based in Adelaide - Pete lives in Ridgehaven, and has a workshop somewhere. Martin Donnon does some of the tuning for their various projects, so will get him to tune my setup for me when I get it. Not sure on the timeframe (will be months, not weeks), but will let you know how it goes.

    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔
    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
