Not wrong there! I sent my ECU up on a thursday to my father in-law to remove my Mines Chip, we got it the Friday. Took the day to remove all the epoxy and still had to cut the chip out! Gave it to Pete (half of PLMS) who works on the desk next to him, Pete checked out the Mines map which was leaned out in the higher revs, speed cut removed and had 4deg of timing added across the whole map (yes that is all Mines did) then he fit the NIStune board and sent it all back to me very well packaged on the Tuesday. I got it on the Wednesday. Overnight delivery Via registered post from SA to VIC = AWESOME!

Get mine tuned on Friday at Status Tuning, can't wait. Have the cable and software on my spare laptop too, it's very cool stuff.

i really cant believe it!!!

that change is only on your mines computer or is that the change done to all mines computers. caz my friend has a mines tuned computer and when placed on the car its like it revealed its true potential. the car got really aggressive.

the problem i find with the mines were i live the best we get is 90 octane and they are normally tuned for much more than that and in most cases it wont be tuned for your car. thumbs up to mines but hands up to nistune

so what about the mines skyline?

any new nistune rbs in the family and willing to share the experience?

haha i did 4 r32 remaps this week and a r34.... so theres another 5 "family" members out there :laugh:

We have done over 60 nistune boards in the last 10month's since we have started using the softwear.

some happy user's of nistune...

Can some1 explain what makes the remaps like this less suitable once the power starts to climb past a certain level? WHat does the remap have trouble doing?

Also is any software able to be programmed into the remaps ie launch control?

Cheers

James

PS: I have a dr drift remap and am very happy with teh results. While i was away at work my mrs fillied up with some 95 fuel. When i came home and took it for a spin it was boosting a lot less because of the knock control. Asked her what she done and found out about the wrong fuel. Could have ended badly for me!!

I know it can be quite difficult to explain but is there a manual or some form of info that one can download to read up on what can be adjusted and played with and in what moderation can one change figures when tuning with nistune. the do's and don't s of adjusting timing and changing fuel maps and the works.

i am looking for something beyond base tuning. thanx in advance

I am using nistune and love it. You do pay more when compared to a remap/socket-ed ECU. But the ease of tuning thought the diagnostic port has in itself proven more financially beneficial in the long run when going to my tuner and him being able to make quick adjustments and not charging me due to having to remove the ecu completly.

For the record, I am running 650cc Injectors (abit over kill), FPR, Splitfires, Z32, GCG Rb25 High flow (17psi), Cam Gears, 3" Zorst no cat, FMIC making a reliable 210rwKW.

yeah i have heard nothing but good things about the chip i was just saying what he told

me the other day and im most likely getting one in the new year alright bond

and i think the chip itself is like $400

Maybe it was just my tune. I read that Mines tunes the ECU to the mods that are on the car, i.e. If you have kakimoto exhaust, apexi turbos, blitz FMIC, SARD 600s, HKS Cam Gears, they will tune to that.

In my case that was what was done to the maps.

Trent tuned my NIStune last Friday and all I can say is WOW! The software is very very good and trent got as much as he could out of my car with current list of mods done. made 240kW and 388Nm on 14psi.

Next step is to check wheels on the turbos and see if they are ceramic or not, if not up comes the boost!

I am extremely happy with the NIStune as the car is now tuned for BP Ultimate instead of the 100 octane that Mines tunes for

haha i did 4 r32 remaps this week and a r34....

Last time I asked i got the following reply

"R32 - we can do any of them - RB20 or RB26. No probs there.

R33 - can't do any cos they went to a Hitachi micro.

R34 - we can do the RB25 but can't do the RB26 in the GTR."

is this still the status? no RB26 in R34?

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
