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?

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
