Advise Needed Please - What Do I Go For?


Recommended Posts

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.

i should finish reading b4 i post my reply lol

ill give it a go, if others are having some luck.....

Yay ok i guess i'll give the nistune a go....

Dez - yes it's finally up and running - could've beat ya hehehe

Still got the Ford beast, I'll run you in that.

Might even put it on display at the show n shine..

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

Is Dr. Drift any good?

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!

    • Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps  
    • So car is getting a few mods to the cage and some jacking points welded in Meantime Ol Silver gets a new gearbox and shiny clutch.  Old Box is being set aside for Clem  
    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • 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
