Niss Tune

[matt-turner]

hey guys can some one tell me who i can contact about niss tuning my ecu . little bit pissed off cause a few places in tassie i was told to contact dont know if it can be done which i think is bull! i know form all u guys that it can be done and type 4 is the board . the shop which i will not mention told me that type 5 board is the one and its not out yet !!

nissan stagea series 2 manual is what i have so if i have to send the ecu to vic or where-ever thats fine please help me cause im ready to get it done and i can get someone to tune it .

thanks guys

You are correct, it is the type 4 board. Just go directly to Nistune, they are in SA. Check out the Nistune site http://www.nistune.com/ ordering tab. It maybe better to email Matt at Nistune [email protected] or PM him on SAU, i think his username is "darkhalf", you may also be able to work out a deal for supply and install a bit better than the listed price on the Nistune website.

dont go and see brad at boost automotive - he will tell you to get a haltech, charge you 3 times as much as a nisstune and the tune will be average at best

i've heard a fair bit of praise from gt garage in hobart but its a bit of a drive but they have a 4wd dyno and can tune anything well - best to give them a call

it is a type 4 board, but the tuner will also have to have the nisstune software

and i dont think anyone in lonnie aside from boost auto have a dyno

i will post up my stats from the nistune im getting on monday only have h.k.s silent exhaust and manual boost controller............i think you should be able to get someone that has nistune to sell you there ecu.. me ? for $18000.00 tried and tested and free post to tazzie

[pipster11]

hobart or dev are prob gonna be your best bets for a good tune

or get someone with a nisstune with similar mods to send you their tune file

you can get the nisstune boards installed by anyone who works with electronics - eg tv repairers etc

I know I might be pushing my luck but is anybody aware of any Nistune tuners in Cairns. I've checked Nistune site and googled around and nothing. In the last few days I've shot a few emails to workshops with 4wd dynos but I'm still waiting on replies.

[pipster11]

you dont have to use a 4wd dyno

if you pull the front drive shaft it will work on a 2wd one (may still have to pull the fuse tho)

[QWK32]

just read on the Nistune forums that Matt from Nistune is in the process of moving so there might be a lack of response from him on enquiries. probably be better off getting a workshop to supply and install if your keen on getting it do really soon. is a trip up to melbourne with you car out of the question? there are a few good workshops there that deal with nistune.

if you only have minimal mods one of the workshops down hear may be able to preload a tune onto a board for you, thats if you cant find anyone up there to do it. Nistune isn't really that hard to tune and anyone with tuning knowledge should be able to do it, just gotta find someone up there with a software license or purchase one yourself.

[BCCairns]

Yeah I'm not in too much of a hurry, still got to free up some coin with the wife so im happy to sit tight a bit before contacting and organsing the board with Mat. I like the idea of a preloaded tune, def worth looking into, my mods are pretty standard 3" system, FMIC, boost control. Ideally I will hear something back from the 2 workshops I emailed up here, so I know how much i need to outlay for the board and tune. The 2 places I emailed about Nistune and cost for tune are http://www.svscairns.com.au/ and http://www.claservices.com.au . If I don't hear anything I will give them a buzz when im ready to go.

http://www.nistune.com/ and click on the workshops tab, scroll down till you get to the list of VIC workshops.

check out Status Tuning, they are a site sponsor and give a reasonable price for install and tune. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fa...tr-t306749.html

[matt-turner]

just got a call back sayin it can be done and it is type 4 so hopefully i should get some results back when i get it done !!!! i will let u guys know !

just got home from getting mine done 164 kws and more response and less fuel done by trent at status tuning ..get in quick as he is going on holidays soon yes he has a 2wd dyno but just takes out the front drive shaft.even replaced my spark plugs to stop pinging in the upper rev range..just need a front mount intercooler now then up the kws

p.s i now have a top speed of 511 kph

[JDM_Spirit]

We took mine down the M1 on Sunday night for abit of a street tune with Ben (from Gavin Woods). More boost, better pick up, fuel needle hardly moves now... and we havnt even got to the Dyno yet

We changed Fueling, Limits (Rev, Speed, Boost cut is gooooooooooone).

Cant wait to get on the rollers!

I'm guessing no, but has anyone on here gone to the trouble of fitting a Z32 ECU to a series 1. I've looked on the Nistune website and read all about it. Really apart from a few small mods to the Z32 board it seems that it should fire straight up, even without a Nistune board installed. But this was all based on a R33. Z32 ECU's are cheap and easy to come by, so I might be looking to give it a go.

I've got a Z32 ECU with a nistune installed sitting in my garage, was going to use it for an RB25 but bailed on the whole engine build.

LOL, hire an airfield or go to the Holden proving grounds @ Lang Lang - I wanna see proof of the top speed!

Only problem is it won't plug in but will work if you wire it in. I had an R32 ecu running my engine fine (piggybacked so that the original ecu could handle the auto and vct).

[Mr_RS4]

Yeah I figured it wouldn't plug in but I had also thought of piggybacking. Also I guess the R32 ecu wouldn't require the mods that the Z32 one does because of the different injector outputs and twin knock sensors and fuel temp sensor etc...

The infamous brad from boost auto, i would never recomend anyone to go to him.

He f*&ked my car and hes done the same to one of my mates. It cost me a lot of money and time to fix what he did to my vl with with rb25det. He recomended that i buy a haltech so i did and it was the dodgyest tune ive ever seen, he reckoned that it was producing 188rwkw.

When i got to melbourne and got the problems fixed he created they said that the power figure was 140rwkw, i dont know where brad got 188 from. Anyway they got 205rwkw and it was 100% more driveable than the shit tune brad did.

He wired up my mates thermo fan the wrong way and my mate cooked his $30,000 engine, wasnt inpressed and ive heard of so many other people that hes screwed around. Doesnt know what hes doing, way out of his league i think.
