Lose the stock dump for something (anything?) else, and fit a decent cat. turbine noise is a bit louder, but best estimates put those 2 parts fitted to my car alone at being worth ~5awkW (with a stock cat-back).

Otherwise, stop talking about how good the Nistune is - us S1 owners get all upset about it...

;)

Replaced the stock one with JJR bellmouth and decat pipe.

Why cant anyone do series 1 isnt everything the same as r33? i assumed they would use the same computer.

Nistune don't have a chip for the R33 either. if you see a R33 that is running Nistune it will most probably have a chipped R32 or Z32 ecu running it.

This is from the Nistune Website - The R33 ECU's are a type 6 board

We are thinknig about doing a board for R33 RB25DE/RB25DET but it involves a fair amount of work, and the parts to interface with the existing 84 pin MCU on this ECU. It is a very difficult board to get started on and requires whole new firmware code to be implemented, whilst supporting customers with our existing product line. I will start drafting schematics once Type 5 has been finished and we have got the knock sensing functionality working.

If you are looking for something to get these going then we suggest either using a HCR32 Skyline or Z32 300ZX ECU with a Type 2 board. See our FAQ topics for more information regarding these ECUs.

Your other option, if you really want to use the R33 ECU is to use an emulator with an expensive third party daughter board (pictured above) available from Sam at www.drdrift.com.au

The last time I can remember the price for the R33 Daughterboard is about $1200 and has to come in from Japan

Does anyone know the best place for doing a Nistune in WA? In terms of price vs experience?
There are six agents listed on the Nistune website: http://www.nistune.com/

If you don't hear from an WA Stagea owners you could try the general skyline forums to see if anyone has used any of them.

Got told by UAS today on the phone that u cant nistune an r34/s2 stagea board, they have to replace it with one i think he said from a 300zx.

Does anyone know if this is correct?

It needs to be the JECS board

Should be clearly marked on the ecu

Plenty of r34 on here have Nistunes

I think they have got mixed up with r33's. They can use/have used the 300zx.

no its not, Nistune Board Type 4 is the one for the R34/S2 Link to Nistune Boards

they have had this board for a while now and there are a couple of people on this forum that are running one.

EFI Performance. They are at Yatala or Nerang

I might be going down this track. Approx $300 plus tune $500.

Opposed to the Vipec for $2600 installed and tuned

Just put the stag in for nistune chip and tune at EFI yesterday morning. It's getting on the dyno tommorrow morning.

The bloke said the chip is good for 400hp, which they had run on a ca18det. Any more than that and you need an aftermarket ECU.

Cant wait to see the results. :rant:

just in case anyone's missed the copious amount of threads, there is currently a nistune group buy for C34 Series 2 Stageas and ER34GTT Skylines here. We're also selling single user licenses NIStune software licenses at discounted prices too, so if you know anyone who's interested, please let them know! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4858659

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
