Hey guys, I need some help from the experts here (hopefully I put this in the right area if not Mods please move).

I am trying to install my copy of NISSAN FAST on my new laptop but I can't get it to run. I have WIN7 Pro 64bit and the program seems to be having issues running. I can't setup the CD's. The actual software will load but when I try to open it it says no CD and when I try to run the cd setup part of FAST it throws a 64bit 32bit error of some sort.

I tried running in compatibility mode and that did nothing, ran as admin and re ran install as admin and none of this works. Will this work in 64bit Windows or not? I have searched here and on google for a while and the only info I found was a guy said it will run in compat mode on 64bit 7 by moving a file but he doesn't say which one.

I am thinking I will just dual boot XP or run it on my NIStune laptop but would really like to get it running on my new machine.

Any help from anyone running this on 7 64bit would be appreciated :wub:

Just use XPMode in Win7, It'll work then.

Not 64bit

Win 7 32bit is no probs.... no need for an XP Mode, just run it. As far as I know FAST is not compatible with 64bit OS's yet... well at least the 4 different versions I have tried.

Nope won't work. I found out today, Windows 7 64bit has got no support for 16bit apps (dropped it as of XP) and even though it is a 32bit app it still has a some legacy 16bit files or some BS. As a result of this it won't run in 64bit or in compatibility mode :whistling:

Looks like the only way to do this now is to run a virtual machine or just install it on my XP NIStune lappy. Unless someone actually has it running on 64bit. Oh well thanks for trying to help guys. Thread can prob be closed now :whistling:

Yeah i created a 32bit XP virtual machine so i could install FAST and its works perfectly there.

Thats what i mean.

I'm 95% certain 64bit Win7, just setup XPMode, which is a XP virtual machine within Win7, and off you go.

That is correct. Windows XPMode is 32 bit in Windows 7 in both 64 and 32 bit editions.

But if you are still having issues - run it completely in a virtual machine - it will also allow portability of the app - just copy the VM image.

At least that confirms what I was thought was right, and the whole purpose behind "XPMode" :whistling:

The image is only around 1.1 - 1.5gb as well if memory serves me correct.

So not big at all for what you get.

I'd say more towards 2GB because of Windows XP SP3 being integrated with it.

Still portable considering most USB sticks are 4GB+......

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
