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

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
