Hey all ,

i have a R33 GTR with a Mines ECU in it and the Limiter is set very close too 9,000 RPM and i dont really like that too be honest and it is running very rich which i believe could hinder the performance of the car im in sydney and was wondering are these ECU re programmable or if i can set the limiter a bit lower and make it a bit leaner without hurting the engine what so ever.

i am willing to pay if some one can help me out .

Thanks Guys :laugh:

Send it to DrDrift or anyone who can do Nistune.

Start saving for turbos though, they won't last too long once you lean the fuel out

These ecu's depending on the "exact" tune work pretty well, i have had some come through which were pretty close (making 230-240rwkw) to being spot on, BUT many are generic loaded tunes and run mega rich from the mid range onwards. The limiter is most likely 8800 as most jap limiters are set there as it saves the oil pump (less chance of accidently hitting limiter), they are not pointless limiter bashers like many morons in this country :laugh:

Depending on the ecu (33 or 32) as many R33 come with remaped R32 ECU's as the R32 ecu is half the price to modifiy. If it is a R32 GTR ecu you can fit a nistune board to it or burn a new chip for it. I reccomend the Nistune as it allows live tuning and no chip burning.

We usually install a Nistune board (fully programmable) to it with an adjusted setup to suit 14-15psi and 98ron if it is the R32 GTR ecu, if its the R33 ecu you are stuck as no-one does them. Post a pic of the silver sticker on the ECU and i can tell you what model it is.

My reccomendaion if it is a R33 ECU is to buy a R32 GTR ecu and get unigroup to do a nistune conversion to it.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
