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.

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
