like the subject says who can do this?

ive seen pleanty can do R32s but the R33 is a little different.

i know it can be done, ie Mines and i have heard a guy say he knows how to do em but won't tell me

i am looking for someone who actually provides a service not a freebie.

main thinks i am looking for is so you cna run more boost fuel timing front mount and get rid of speed cut

ok... They can be done but there is currently no-one in AUS doing it.

and the other thing is that it's not as simple as the R32 ones.

The R32 EPROM can be programmed and soldered on to the ECU.

then when you do mods, the same chip (which costs about $20 to purchase as a plain chip) can be RE-programmed.

The R33 ecu will require a different chip which costs about $90 to purchase as a plain chip, then programmed and soldered to the ecu.. that's all good until you do another mod because those chips are not RE-programmable.. you have to take it off, get a new chip, program that and solder it in.

So an R32 one costs you about $100 to get it chipped and then maybe $50 to get re-tuned as many times as you want, but the R33's you have to throw out..

I know of one guy who is currently working on doing these..

but it is still in DEVELOPMENT.. and will be more expensive than the R32 ones..

All you can do at the moment for the R33 is an S-AFC for fuel and some sort of speed cut device like a PIVOT speed meter..

Or power FC I guess..

I know two different people looking into it also !!

Maybe they should all get together?

But yes, there is also another method of chipping the R33 ECU, the way mine is done.

This is by using a daughter board the goes into the original chips place on in the ECU.

This then makes it just the same as an R32 ECU, with chips the can be wiped and re-porgrammed in a matter of mins. So the cost is no different to an R32 tune/chip.

But again, no-one is Oz can do it... yet.

or just cut wire 53..

Ash, i reckon you should be renting out your ECU for like research time for big $$ :) cause when somebody cracks the R33 ECU and works out how to do all the goodness of reprogramming, its gonna be BIG

well the japs know how to do it cos romeditor has the address files for remapping the ecus. the chip itself is a MPU which contains everything on it. silvias with MPU can be rechippped but they're easy cos they've got pads on the PCB to do it. skylines from what it sounds need a replacement for the MPU to perform the same functionality

Toshi can do the R33 chips.

He is advertising in the for sales section, do the R32 ones.

I've PM'd him and he confirmed that he can BUT as said before, they are a write once chip.

So if you change your mods you need to get a new chip, not just reprogram it.

Might be a good option if you are going to limit your mods.

hrrmm... so he cant do what i've got ie. the re-programmable set-up.

And do you know if he actually has a dyno or is a dyno operator?

... As getting the chip right first off i can't see happening even if you DO have a dyno and have been using one for years. You might get it 'reasonably' close but by no means as good as could be.

It would take a number of tries to get the tuning correct and in turn, that's mean multiple chips just on the one dyno tune seeing as though these are not the 're-writeable' style.

so in effect it would push the $$$ up substancially more ?? if you wanted a decent tune rathar than a once off laptop guess ??

Or is there a was via a real-time emulator ?

he can't do the 33 ECU yet Impul...

Dr_drift/BMT is where i get my car tuned via my ECU and he's been trying to get a daughterboard like mine from Japan or get it copied so it can be replicated. but as it stands at the moment he can't actually chip the R33 ECU itself.

(unless that's changed in the past week or two :))

R31Nismoid - Not sure on most of your questions. I dropped him an email a while ago and he said he could do the R33 GTS-t's. Nothing more was said and i didn't any further questions.

Anyone know if Dr_drift/BMT are able to tune/modify the R32 GTS-t ECU's to run the RB25DET's (eg r32 ecu in a r33) ??

we were gonna guinea pig a bit with my ecu for various things but then we found the chip  :/

lol

Cool - I bought a second hand R32 ECU for that exact reason - to be modded to suit a R33 gts-t.

I might have to see how he has progressed with it.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
