Hi I recently installed nistune on my r32 rb20det(in a s13). I loaded factory map on the daughter board installed and every thing runs great as stock! Now for the problem's rb20's dont have consult port's which is the way nistune type 2 boards connect to a laptop. Im getting no connection to the laptop through nistune or through nissan consult program. I know Nistune works(used on other vehicles) and I know the cables are good, the consult port is correctly wired up and im getting correct voltage from the signal wires and I have good power and ground. I heard that r32's before 10/89 won't work with consult is that true? Anyone else have problems like this? Any help is greatly appreciated...

RB20s do have consult ports for nistune.

How do i know? ive tuned 2 R32 skylines with Nistune in them.

Get the consult connector from your local skyline wrecker do a search on the web and find the instructions on how to wire in the consult port manually.

Or pay someone to do it for you. one of the r32s was a 89 model as well

I know turbotechnics in cardiff can do this for you on 0249565466

Well r32's might have consult ports but not on the engine harness, like I said rb20 in a s13, I wired a consult plug directly to the ecu, its wired correctly because ive done it before its simple....but its still not connecting? I would bring it to an experienced Nistune shop but im located in the US. Thanks for the idea's though

can you connect with standard consult software? not the nistune software

nope wont connect with standard consult either, which leads me to believe either I have a gay ecu that was to early to get consult programed in or something is wierd I don't know, me and professional techs/tuners have played with it for days...

or r32 the consult port is over by the fuse box under the dash so its in the dash loom u will need to get someone to wire it into the ecu make u a consault port u just need to know the pins from the ecu and make them go to a plug

i see your problem.

Maybe you need to snake another ecu from someone and test the consult port.

I think i can sell you one but i am in AUS.

Thanks I know one other person with a rb20 in a s13, but I don't think they will let me play with thier ecu unfortunatly..

If I do buy another ecu which looks like my only option I will probably buy a earlier a31 instead, and use a nistune type 1 board so I can just use a usb cable..

Thanks for the offer though

your best bet is to contact us (nistune) and we can help you out!

if you are using a PLMS consult cable, you have three LEDs on there, the orange/green ones will flicker during consult initialisation. if only one flashes, but the other doesnt respond then the ECU isnt talking back

my first question is - did the ECU connect to consult before installing the Type 2 board and is the car running okay (ie not running limp mode)?

If unsure, reinstall the factory chip and check this out firstly. Basically you want to get back to a stock configuration so you can check that at least your consult wiring works okay.

After this double check the plug wiring also so you have RX, TX and CLK hooked up correctly to the cable (also check GND and 12V lines to your plug)

shoot me an email enquiries [at] nistune.com if you have any further queries

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
