All shops are very different, I know of a car thats been well set up for 7 years,Needed a bit of a tune so he went to a well knowen shop for a tune only to be told his ECU was no good even tho it had been for so long. He was sold a new ECU and the drive away price was over $7000.

The guy drove down the road and ran out of fuel,Got some more and told the tuner the car ran badly and had run out of fuel only to be told his car was not tune as it had no Fuel. 7K drive away with no tune and no fuel is rough and worse still he now finds he has no other tuner options.

Make sure you know what you are getting before you leave your cars anywhere.

I got my car tuned on Friday. It cost me $880 to get a Nistune ecu and tuned. One set fee I've heard. But that was for a rb20det using my ecu. Not sure wat u got.

It was pretty exciting hearing and seeing my car on the dyno. And good results to.

Im in the same boat with ya drift4, so can i get this straight. they replace your old ECU with a new one (powerFC??), then they remap your air fuel ratios n stuff on the dyno? or do they upload/tweak your existing ECU on the dyno?

I know, i should be shot :)

how long's a piece of string? all depends on how well ur car is prepared, best case scenario ur car is functioning perfectly and a tune can only take an hour or 2, but if there are any issues ul have to factor in diagnosis time, parts, time taken to rectify problem etc. my car took half hour on the dyno cos it was well prepared etc, whereas i saw a v6t gemini on the dybno for 2 days cos it was just slapped together

dont get emanage..

emanage = fail

so you have run emange ecu's in your car ????

what didn't u like, a bit more reason than fail might help a few people out, the only reason around seems to be with tuners, not the ecu, most tuners don't know the software, so won't touch

does anyone know if you can re-tune a tommy kaira ecu?

I have opened it up and it has a chip solderd in there...

If i was to want to up my power would i need this nistune and z32 afm or pfc or can it be done on my tk chip?

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
