not sure about other states

but here in S.A ap engineering model power fc is legal nothing else thou.

and at regency even if your turbo is standard and they see braided line they will do you for a/m turbo, al thou i have seen some get threw .

he (and Toshi in Sydney) remap R33's and 34s ... bit different to Nistune. I believe Nistune is more adjustable ..works with bigger injectors etc where as "remap" is only AFRs and ingition timing adjustments..

Remaps can handle bigger injectors, afm's etc.

My RB30DET was running a remap with z32 afm and 550cc injectors.

The difference is that Nistune is live tunable via the consult port, whereas a remap is tuned with a romulator (usually) and then a new EEPROM is burnt.

No actually the remap stuff is done live also. Dr Drift developed the system to be able to do this.

Has been doing it long before Nistune even existed

speaking of consult ..anyone know any nice programs to use ? I'm getting my consult cable today ..can't wait to see all the sensor data and crap :) Speaking of which, is there perhaps a summary of correct sensor voltages anywhere ?? eg. I wanna make sure my AFM, knock sensor etc are operating normally

Sorry, maybe live was the wrong choice of word. I meant that remapping (at least how mine was done), is they solder a cradle where the old EEPROM was (I did this myself, saved a bit of coin) and use a romulator (chip with a cable) to tune, once happy with the tune they burn the maps to another EEPROM and chuck it in.

Nistune is tunable through the consult port, you don't need to open it up and remove chips.

I use Datascan on my carpc, cost about $35 from plmsdevelopments.

The nistune guys REALLY need to get onto the R33 gtst computer. My thoughts is that if they don't have it ready by now they never will, must not be possible.

I thought it was, but the boards were very expensive?

both false.

No aftermarket computer is legal in South Australia

After market lines are fine.

Im using a Z32 ecu on my R33 GTST S1, only thing needed to be done was to change the order of the injector cables, that and joining 2 wires into 1 for the AFM signal, since the Z32 has 2, easy as pie :down:

I've been running stock S1 turbo, 3" full exhaust, HKS airfilter+piping, FMIC etc etc and done the tuning myself, i couldnt be happier. Also since i have an aftermarket thermostat that opens at 70 degrees i changed the enrichment per temperature and so on to match the mods of the car.

AFR 15.2 at low load for fuel economy, 13.5 when turbo starts boosting and 12.2-12.5 on full load/higher revs. Havent had tme to get it dynoed yet but way better then stock :P

I think you'll be very happy with nistune!

EDIT:

Why i went with the Z32 ecu instead of the RB20 is that the rb20 doesnt support VCT, the Z32 does.

Nothing available for R33 yet, as far as I was aware it is plug and play with a 20 ecu, its just that you loose the variable valve timing, but I think its only series 1 that might be plug and play as series 2 has the ignitor in the ecu where the Rb20 does not.

oh god, not that again. the r33 series 2 ecu does NOT have the ignitor built into it. it is built into the coils. that is why you can't run s1 coils in a s2 and vice versa, yet you can run a s1 ecu in a s2 and vice versa.

i use ecutalk. i also have datascan and scantech but find ecutalk the easiest as far as just displaying info goes. the others have the the diagnostic tests though. it's always fun driving along then switching off a cylinder, LOL

We have been doing quite a few epa cars latley with nistune (Nistune is the easiest and IMO the best EPA option) BUT a competant tuner can get a microtech through the epa polution process aswell (it is difficult though). I just did a FC rx7 with a microtech and even without the air pump passed its emmisions test.

$655 with Nistune fitted for R33

http://www.k-tune.com.au/Parts_For_Sale.ews

I doubt it is re-pinned internally you still need to swap the 10 or so wires in the connector :D

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
