Hi ive been told different things from a few different people and was hoping some1 could help me out..

I was wanting to know if i can get the stock ecu in my R33 gtst re mapped.. I want to get just a bit more

out of the car without the expense for now of gettin an apexi pfc.. Also if it is possible will it help stop fuel

cut problems.. every time i try to run say 12ib or so it hits fuel cut, in saying that some days it doesnt..

Any help would be great. The car has a FMIC, 3 1/2 inch exhaust, hks dual stage ebc, and an apexi BOV

if that helps. Thanks

The R33 ECU is a real beatch as it can't be "Nistuned"

Toshi remaps ($500 + dyno to check AFRs) are OK but unless you live in Sydney and can get him to tune them in real time on a dyno they will be a "best guess" tune for your set up.

If you do any further mods you will have to send it back to Toshi for another remap ($500?).

Don't get me wrong there are plenty of happy Toshi customers out there and he has done many of these remaps.

The Z32 ECU ($150-$300 from a wrecker) can be easily modified to work in an R33 and can take the Nistume daughter board ($300 fitted). (see www.nistune.com)

This set up (I purchased a z32 ECU modded for an R33 with Nistune for $300) can be fine tuned in real time by many reputable tuners around the country (in Melbourne see Chequered tuning (ex Status tuning)) and once set up can be easily re-tuned to accommodate further mods. The initial tune may cost $600 but any re-tunes will likely be much less.

I guess it all depends how much money you want to spend and how much flexibility you want - for me I think Nistune is the way to go but I may have thought differently if I lived in Sydney and was sure that I wasn't going to do more mods down the track (FYI - once you start it is addictive and hard to stop!!!) :D

Cheers

ive got a z32 nistune board they are awsome more control over power fc looks standard, i think the new editions u can even get launch control, still afm but i dont consider that a downside.

How much would u pay for a second hand one, and how much it cost to tune??

no i didnt tune myself i got it done profesionaly, i held the lap top and drove ocasionaly haha. its all real time tuning as u drive in 2d and 3d maps. u can adjust everything from ignition timing, fuel maps, they control biger in jectors, change injector pulse, bigger turbos absolutly evey thing apart from boost. fully tunable ecu without the wank factor brand name

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
