Guys looking some information regarding Nistune, wanna tune My BNR with it and need some advice, how good is for under 500 hp at engine and what is the different with PFC?

i was looking for information and found nothing, only what i know at this time its cheap then pfc and also plays with ignition if there is pinging

thanks in advance

Agreed, it is very good, I have had a Dr Drift remap & have now changed over to the Nistune. No reflection on Sam(Dr Drift's) work at all as the only reason I changed over was due to Sam being in Melbourne & I am here in Queensland so retunes have been impossible when I upgraded bits & pieces.

The Nistune has enabled me to increase my power to a little over 200rwkw in my RB20DET. I am now at the limits of the Nistune & have been advised to go for something like a wolf v4 or v500 next to achieve the 230rwkw mark as it has more scope & smaller rpm tuning increments ie 150 rpm steps.

For an everyday tuning system Nistune is great. For more advanced tuning aftermarket ECU is better.

I have more than a few mates who have PFC. They all rave about it as a great system. But correct me if I am wrong but APEXi are gone. I am not bagging out PFC at all but I believe you are better to go something more current.

Stop in at your tuners & have a chat. Take with you all the plans you have for your ride & let him/her know what your eventual goal is. That will help them help you with the correct choice for your application

who told you that? the same person whos going to profit from you changing?

nistune sounds pretty good, its essentially a bridge into the stock ecu

so you can adjust everything as needed and update it as you like

apexi still exist and are still producing products, but only some in limited volumes

and youll find ECR33 PFC is discontinued as NEC have run out of processor used FP74

you can still purchase other PFC's brand new

Power is no limit for the Nistune, I have done 600+rwhp GTRs that are much more drivable than with any other ECU ive seen.

If your Tuner is selling you an ECU because the Nistune is at its limit he is is dodgy.

PFC is not anywhere near as smart as a Nistune, Nistune even use functional knock control were a PFC only warn you.

I tune for a few Shops and Nistune is the most common ECU in Nissans now and its quite often replacing other Aftermarket ECUs inc PFC.

Perth car scene is now targeted by the cops and Emission tests are the norm with the Nistune making this test very simple even in some hardcore cars.

the pfc has a slightly better mapping system than the nistune (more cells) but the nistune is a better overall system in my opinion. sure it doesn't have a hand controller, but the cost of the unit plus tuning is generally less than the cost of just a pfc itself without tuning.

power wise it should produce the same power as any other unit as the power you make is purely based off the skill of the tuner rather than the ecu.

it should also handle a hell of a lot more power than 200kw on a r32. according to the nistune site the speedlab got 373kw out of a rb20 running a nistune.

Have a read of the Nistune thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Nistune-t181930.html or some of the dyno result threads, there are plenty of cars making over 500rwhp and still not hitting the limits of the Nistune.

Coming to think of it, i had also heard they had gone out of business. All lies lol, i never really paid much attention to it

Just wanted t double check and sau is the best place of that ;) bought the licensy cable and almost pay amount same as used pfc cost and doesnot wanted to make mistake

did something happen between Nistune and Wolf? heard similar stories before as well

anyways, 290rwkw, Nistune - maps for both BP98 and E85 - nice piece of kit ;)

i cant see how nistune would be at its power limits

its just maps and numbers

the only time it would be phyiscal possible to be at a power limit, is when you max injectors

air

fuel

spark

make power, not mapping, so it doesnt sound right to me

i would not expect power gains changing ECUs

you would only see a power gain if its not tuned correctly

who tuned your nistune? many workshops i've spoken to all say PFC is good. only one workshop said PFC are good but they steer customers away from it and recommend nistune due to the fact they are cheaper, also does everything the PFC does

anyways, 290rwkw, Nistune - maps for both BP98 and E85 - nice piece of kit ;)

by 'maps for both BP98 and E85'; do you mean you can switch between them on the ECU from one day to the next, or the different tunes are on file at your tuner's shop?

really happy to hear good for it, anyway why it shouldnot work properly if standart ecu is remapable? Guiltoy will tune it and i will post up results, car will be boosted with GT35R

more a point to say it's versatile enough to handle to the two fuels, etc...

i've got the USB consult cable, but don't have a laptop. If i did, i'd put NIstune on it and load the two maps. But there is an E85 outlet 5mins from my place, and for a car that's barely driven, i don't have the to switch constantly.

i guess to answer your question, yes you could easily switch between the two with a laptop and Nistune (still have to drain the tank first though).

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
