Adam, R33 are not compatible with NisTune without going to a Z32 ECU... R34 and R32 are.

Nistune fitted and Tuned at Status is 750 going by what Trent said in a thread, best to call him and confirm, as prices could of changed.

Second hand SAFC 2 is what? 250, + wiring + tuning assuming 500ish for install and tune, then it is easily defected, where a NisTune isn't... Things starting to look a little different now?

SAFC: bends AFR's on a few points.

NisTune: AFR's, timing, limits etc can all be adjusted.

damn..... bloody auto

NisTune should be fine with an Auto as it is a modified standard ECU.

Beware that when you start considering something like nistune or power fc, tuning is expensive ~$600+

not really... all depends on how many hours the tuner spends - my Nistune remap by Trent @ Status was $750 all up i'm pretty sure. That's all the soldering, installation, tune, etc. Then i think it's about $80/hr for tuning when you come back with "upgrades" :P not 100% sure..

i would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Trent @ Status Tuning. Nistune or whatever other option you go for. But especially Nistune

That's awesome! $750 is a steal for everything + initial tune.

He's tuning my car (nistune) on the 27th so i'll let you know. Some friends I have speak very highly of the tunes he's done on their cars.

Best thing about the nistune is that you can load a standard map into it and it will just run as per the factory computer. I got the ECU done months ago (sent mine to Nistune in SA and they returned it within a few days with the chip fitted and the standard ECU map loaded.. Chip cost $220, fitting cost about $60 plus postage). I've been driving with the standard maps for months now, there's no need to get a tune done until you're ready.

Now in the future if I change AFM's or turbos, my ECU will handle it just fine.

Let me know how it goes.........

+1 nistune I also have a gts-4 (although manual) with a 26 and trent had no problems tuning my car. Advise is to call around though as I believe a lot of workshops are quite booked out atm!

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      R34 Manual conversion Speedometer

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?

      Got my 34 gtt tuned last week. Car made 362 wheel horsepower at 19 psi. Turbo was the ATR43SS. Only other upgrades were haltech 2000 series. 650cc injectors, walbro 250, fmic. Pro hub dyno reads 6% lower than actual figure according to my tuner. Car is a real ripper now.  IMG_7261.mov

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone in Melbourne (preferably West) has a non-S2 R34 front bar. If it's already off the car, even better!  Nothing too weird, I just need to get a cut-out of the hole that the front indicators clip into 🤣 (image attached for reference)   I've got a front bar from JSAI Aero, but those holes need to be cut myself, and I want to get it right so the indicators will clip securely. And my OEM bumper is a S2, so I have no reference. So looking for a member who might be able to spare me a few minutes to make a cardboard cut-out using your front bar.
