I think one thing to note is that tuning is something of an art, opinion, appraisal.

One tuner will always pick apart someone elses tune.

You go back to the original tuner, ask him about the apparent discrepancies and I'm sure there'll be some justification, excuse etc.

You can only go by people's past record and good word.

Does anyone know if the hitman will tune a factory ecu? (using a ROM emulator + chip burner?)

Got a daughterboard in my ecu and now with more mods need to get that baby tuned!

hmmm i'm contemplating doing (what might be a silly move) and going with a somewhat unknown workshop/garage out at berowra, i've mentioned them before and have heard alright things from on here and really good things from outside.

had a chat to him a few weeks ago and was pretty convinced.

i'm just scared of the old saying you get what you pay for, (dont know what he charges anyway but it would probably be less than the bigger well known workshops) coming to bite me on the bum.... but then again if that was 100% accurate everone would have the exact same most expensive tune and others would be out of business

will keep you informed

The worse case is that you hanging over all parts you want them to put in, and discover later that they have been replace with something different..and you went back there and they denied..

Also make sure you don't rely on the simple dyno print out; number could be faked, unless it's done in shootout mode....

I don't have one (yet, maybe will get one)

but I would probably go to CRD, my friend works there and I Have heard numerous good things. had a couple of small things done and no problems.

other then that, I was chatting to a guy last night who has an S15 and has had it tuned by hitman a couple times and had no probs

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
