QWK32 - i have a copy of the software yes..

mods are

HKS GTR-s

front mount

3" exhaust

greddy boost controller

the guy before me had haltech on it but i saw alot of advantages to the nistune so i went that way..

i have acopy of all the base maps aswell, is there some things i can do to that to help things?

i also have a apexi turbo timer which outputs the AFR'S, as soon as you touch the accelerator at 60k's it goes from 14.5 to 10.5 or even 10.0 sometimes..

thanks again

don't pay any attention to the apexi timer reading. the stock narrowband O2 sensor can't be trusted with any value apart from ~14.7, even then i'd doubt its accuracy. if your getting a reading in the 10's on the pen timer, it could really be a value anywhere from say 10-13.

what tune do you currently have on the ecu, stock maps? on the stock maps it will run rich once on boost even with the GT-RS. i suppose you could take a bit out of the high rpm, high load part of the fuel table, but without getting a wideband O2 sensor to check it you wouldn't know if you've taken too much out. do you have access to a wideband O2 sensor?

also i'd be interested to see if you coming close to the limits of the stock AFM, what boost are you running? link up to the ecu with the software and open the timing map, then watch the map tracer to see how close to the right hand side of the map it goes when you rev it out under load. ideally you don't want it to hit the last row of cells. also check the fuel map, it has a smaller load scale than the timing map so you can run off the edge earlier than you will on the timing map.

flippin' heck

i thought you could get Nisstune's for all Stags. i was looking forward to putting one in my S1 later this year :P

you can, but you have to be willing to chop and rewire your ecu loom to a Z32 ecu plug so you can use a Z32 ecu.

don't know if this would work, just an idea. but could you replace the stagea engine loom with a late model R33 engine loom? engines are the same so electrical plugs should be the same. probably have to splice in a few wires that go to other areas of the car, should be an issue though. then you could easily run a Z32 Nistune ecu without having to hackup, identify, and rewire the stagea loom.

i have stock maps loaded, no tune has been done since the board was fitted... don't have access to wideband.

using stock afm atm but i have a z32 ready to go (wiring is all sorted just needs to be plugged in). next part sounds like too much effort!! lol

i have no idea once it comes to the tuning side of things so yeah, i friend works at a workshop that has just signed up with nistune so i might just get them to tune it for me.

  • 1 year later...

I am trying to find. Who in sydney does nistunes and has had heaps of expirence and has a 4wd dyno

Someone has recommended CRD for tuning. And I do believe they have a 'special' offer in their business thread on these forums.

But I've never done this before so....

Unigroup.

Either get them to drop the front driveshaft or drop it yourself.

If they are happy to let it on the dyno with the little green plug pulled then you can go that way.

I would strongly suggest using them.

i want unigroup to do it but i am a fusy prick and i want it done in 4wd. Unigroup know envy performance and they have a 4wd dyno and sometimes use it so i am trying to see what i can hook up.

What difference does a 4WD dyno make? Nearly 100% of the time your car peddles around on the rear wheels.

If Yavuz uses the Envy dyno it will be for cars that does allow easy 2WD mode.

Best bet is to give them a call and see what they say.

I paid extra for a 4wd dyno once but then thought why did I do that ? There is no point whatsoever fussy or not. Just drop the front driveshaft and pull the fuse and the 2wd dyno will do just as well. The only difference is you will get a rwd power figure but so what ? The tune and output is the same. You can always look out for a dyno day on a 4wd if you must have the awd figure.

...and it will be within a bees wang of being the same anyway.

not quite true.

my car dyno'd at 210rwkw with the front shaft dropped on a 2WD dyno.

on an AWD dyno it dyno'd at 178awkw - same car - same mods - same boost.

different dyno, yes, but i doubt it would account for a diffence of some 30+kw. lots of mechanical loss of power in the drivetrain. does that mean the car would go harder in 2WD mode? i have no idea.....but the dyno doesnt lie...much. heheh.

(out of interest, that was done on an eManage Ultimate. i now have a Nistune that i'll be throwing in and getting retuned. Mod's won't have changed at all, so it will be verrrrry interesting to see what figures they can pull out of the Nistune vs the Emanage)

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
