if the OP is in sydney, I'd suggest you chat with toshi (who will do a road tune or dyno tune.. whatever you want - and cost you around the $300) or because your mods are the usual budgets mods (rb25 turbo, exhaust, filter, fuel pump, boost), CEF11E can give you his generic chip which he used when he had those mods on his own car for whatever he charges.

Someone said $100.

that's like a tank of fuel in sydney these days..

EDIT - Toshi has his own little advert in the trader section..

Ok i got my hands on 3 Dr Drift eproms. I gotta try them all out, pick the best and send the other 2 back.

It seemed stupid to desolder/resolder each chip after each run.... would this zif socket be ok to use? will it fit in the ecu case ok?

you shouldnt have to desolder and resolder. thats an old way of doing things, which, although it still happnes, i think its pretty rare....

So are you saying i should get the zif socket? Or are you saying that the stock chip will not need to be desoldered? :blink:

I don't understand what you're saying.

I don't understand what you're saying.

sorry wasnt sure how you wanna go about doing things. buy a nistune daughterboard, plug your laptop into it, tune it, done, no removing the eprom to burn it etc

nistune is retuning the factory computer, just like a remap, i dunno wtf the difference is either, nistune just seems to be the best way of tuning the factory comp

Oh ok. Nah i've already got 3 eproms from dr drift and am going to install those. People wanted $900+ to do the nisTune + tune. And i'm just using an rb25 turbo for the moment so spending that much on the tune seemed pointless at this stage.

Get a 28 pin dip machined socket from nearly any electronics shop for around $1, fit neatly inside factory ECU, the ZIF sockets nearly all hit on the ECU casing as they're larger...

Remap = Nistune: just different roads to get to the same destination...

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
