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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
