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:

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.

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.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
