hi i just got a price for a microtek supplied and fitted and tuned for $2200 just want to know if this is worth it (r32rb20det)at pro torqe ormeau and how good are the microteks

and yes i have allready done a search and only found something from 2005 surey the results have gotta be different by now

A cheaper option would be NISTune ($400, + say $50 to solder it in) + Dyno tune ($600) + (optionally) Consult cable ($100).

http://www.nistune.com/ Check the workshop link to fine who can tune it in your area.

thanx mate but there too far away pro torqe is only likr 10 min drive from my house

$2200 is a mighty outlay for a RB20 equipped car... and with a ECU thats, well, average. Hmm.

What level of mods is it at?

What mods do you plan in the future??

If your only running a stock turbo (or even a medium upgrade) i personally couldnt justfiy spending that much and would go with a remap anyday even if it meant driving 1.5hrs.

well i have a fmic exhaust pod filter . but i was going to get a kkr430 534cc sard injectors and a new fuel pump and triy and get tuned with the standard ecu but he said it wouldnt run right and if i go bigger injectors that i will need a new computer so then i said what about just a turbo and fuel pump and he said i would be better off getting the computer done and then get that stuff later he also said the standard turbo would be fine on 14 psi rb20 turbo that is

thanx mate but there too far away pro torqe is only likr 10 min drive from my house

scrap that just read that efi is moving to yattala soon might give them a call tomorrow thanx mate

Well of course he's gonna say that.

He'll be making a tidy sum off a install like that ;)

Although, you can have a re-mapped setup so that it will work with larger injectors etc.

What other options for tuners/ECU's etc do you have near you?

Im not familiar with your area... but if thats all you have avaliable, then your probably going to be going your option above which is fair enough...

However if there is a chance you can go somewhere else and find out the pricing, then id shop around just to be sure your getting the best value for the money as net return on RB20's vs $$ spent is tough at times :P

efi performance is like a 35 minute drive away so i might give them a call about there nistune chips they do sound allright the only reason i was going to get the microtech was so when i get injectors and the turbo and stuff it would work but if efi can tune the standard computer with injectors and that i might just do that anyway thanx for all the help cos was gonna go in on the weekend order it and it in so thanx i will try and find a better way. it is hard to find someone thats not out to make lot of money off ya

i too was going to go down your path. and pay 2500 for microtech and tune for my series 2 R33

i ended up getting a Nistune remap from Toshi on these forums and seriously for $500 bucks i got exactly the same result as i would have with the microtech. just over 200kw at the wheels and all the fruits of the microtech without the $$$

How funny, one of the previous owners of mine got the combo of a Microtech and KKR.

Cold starts suck, fuel economy sucks, and for some reason I and everyone I know who has one of these computers also has a car which runs very rich.

I also have no VCT, AWD (still trying to work out how on earth I can get it happening with the piece of shite), and the car feels sluggish at around 5000rpm (changing heat range of plugs, and changing oil to Motul to see if I can alleviate some of this)

The LCD Dash is a cool wank factor though.

If it weren't a daily and I had the time and money to stuff around I'd pull out the Microtech and go Nistune/remap.

for that 2200 you could find a new fuel pump, grab some s/h bigger inj, even gtr inj? bigger turbo, stainless manifold, and a remap!!! (maybe even grab a alloy radiator from ISC)

remap $500 (nistune)

inj $400

manifold $200

s/h bigger turbs/new chinacrap $800

new pump $200

couple things for you to look at...

Yer mate we are moving to yatala in the new year, when we get our new MAINLINE dyno, dam xmas break otherwise we would be already there.

Nistune is by far a better option for your car.

$375 installed plus dyno time ontop and you get to keep all your factory sensor's, knock map and you wont get any timing jitter which microtech are very well known for.

Why don't you have VCT? What model microtech is it? My LT12S can control VCT.

thanx everyone for ya help cos i was nearly ready to take the deposit down this weekend but i have now talked to the guys at efi performance and im gonna get my car done there with the nistune when they move to yatala (efi performance) any chance you could pm me ya address when you have moved in at yatala i forgot to ask on the phone

and im not going a kkr anymore

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
