just looking of a cheap way to make power and i came across a nistune ecu remaping.

i know dr drift does a remaping for the 33.

but also heard about the z32 ecu that is modded to suit the 33 just wanted to no if someone knows someone that has done it and if its worth chasing down.

rb20det ecu's are easy to remap and they can be used in r33's. its been done in WA and QLD but no tuner in NSW wants to touch the idea

also there's a member here called toshi who can send remap your r33 much cheaper than you would think. search him up and his prices / options

i rang hyperdrive in WA, hey told they dont have the setup/software etc. to remap a rb25det(R33)

he told me that the people that made up nis-tune, wer working on a way to remap rb25det...

and i asked him if i could uses a rb20det (r32) ecu, but he said that the harness/plugs are totally different..

becoz i've heard of people in the east doind this....

dont no about this??? so if someone can confirm this....

but u would also lose the inlet VCT...

so yeah...

but someone plz confirm this...

thnx

i've pulled out both rb20 and 25 ecu's. they look like they are a plug in matter. but will need a tune to run...

maybe i missed something but why not just use an r33 ecu, i emailed dr drift a while back and he didnt mention not being able to use my r33 ecu, is there any other reason that i have missed?

Yeah the r33 is a bit of a pain, this is apparently due to nissan changing to hitachi H8 chip.

You need a daughter board to use an emulator to enable you to make changes real time and these are unfortunately expensive.

There are guys out there that do R33 tuning but they would have an ecu with daughterboard installed to do the tune and the burn that data onto a H8

chip and put that into a 64 pin socket in your ecu.

So yes it's possible to "chip" R33 ecu's but it ain't cheap.

this is a quote i got back from dr drift, i little bit more expensive than a pfc but it has its benefits over pfc as well.

"Rough cost is $1000 for ECU modifications and bas maps to suit your mods,

and $300 - $400 for a full tune on the dyno."

Becareful talking about Benefits of STD ecu over PFC.

ALOT of people around here love them :)

Nah PFC does have better map resolution over std ecu 20 x 20 over 16 x 16.

Not enough for me though, I'd rather keep the knock retard function of the std ecu rather than a winky check engine light.

i tend to agree, apparently the pfc display will tell you there is too much knock but i wouldnt have the handset on display so i would never see it.

i know the pfc is a popular item but it seems that the std ecu just has a few more safety features that i like, this is also coming from someone who already owns a pfc.

Ah Ok, I was thinking bout using my r33 ecu but being in SA It seems easier to go a z32 ecu with nistune.

Besides nistune allows realtime tuning though consult port and dataloging, which is really what I wan't.

Yes it is real time ;) I'd assume that dr drift would intstall a daughter board into the r33 ecu you'd then use an emulator to modify the rom and then burn a new chip with your tune and your done.

Some tuners use a development ecu which has the daughterboard installed and use that to develop the tune and then burn and install a "chip" into the customers ecu.

The advantage of nistune is that you plug your laptop into your consult plug via a consult interface and make the adjustments, no emulator or programmer required.

I believe that you can use nistune on a r33 ecu with a daughter board installed.

Yes nistune does work with a cheaper emulator than I use, which means more workshops will have the ability to tune R33s in real time very soon. Also, as the R33 eprom based boards are now available, compared to the old single burn expensive H8 style processor maps, means no additional charge for retunes on new mods etc etc on eprom boarded ecus... h8 processor replacement rather than daughter boards are still a good option for those not looking at many retunes.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
