Im ready to get my car tuned, found 4B Action at cardiff nsw who are a nistune agent. Quoted $1100 for them to send ecu to nistune to fit daughter board, and full tune. Is this reasonable? Anyone dealt with them?

I need a bigger fuel pump and injectors. What fuel pump do i need to fit to a s2 neo stagea , where to buy it and how much should i pay?

Ill probably go with seimens 650 cc injectors.

Advice please guys.

I have the same car, fitted with nistune.

I recently put the walbro gss342 in mine, fitted straight in. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=180533428704

They are tricky boards to fit, i had mine done locally but it needs to be done by an expert with the right gear.

A cheaper option may be to send your ecu directly to matt had get him to fit it for you, and then get them to tune it.

That listing doesnt cover the type 4 board, which the OP has. Matt will fit and supply the board. Board is 260, fitting is 60

**EDIT**

Type 4 board, same seller/tuner http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISTUNE-TYPE-3-4-IN...=item2c56c7df1c

$1100 is what a lot of tuners charge. there are some cheaper though. it really comes down to how much you trust the local guy. if you trust him to do a good job then it is worth paying the extra money to get it done locally, that way if something goes wrong you can take it back there easily to get it sorted.

I sold my 300zx to a guy in the hunter, 4B is almost the only one listed in newcastle for tuning the Nistune. I gave the guy their contact details, they tuned his car and he was very happy with it.

By all accounts he was pretty thorough, but i have had no first hand experience with them.

$1100 is about the norm but I'd be making sure you get a Single User license for the Nistune software with that...

Board - ~$260

Fitting - $beer (I have a mate that does the soldering for me)

Single user license - $200

Tuning - $400-500 (~4hrs on dyno @ 100-120/hr)

Total - ~$1000

OR

Buy the board yourself direct from NIStune, find someone to fit it, then just pay the tuners tuning costs.

so it seems fair, the shop is only 2 minutes away so that makes everything simple. when i get the board fitted to my ecu can i drive the car to the shop with bigger injectors and a z32 afm? what impedence injectors do i need?

No, the k multiplier will need to be changed for injectors and the AFM. the standard injectors are standard resistance, the seimens are fine, no resistor needed.

If you have a User license for the software you can go in and use the inbuilt tool to change AFM and injector size, this should get you close enough to drive it to the workshop (just don't boost it up).

you can ask matt from nistune, or whoever is doing your board, to have the board ready for z32 afm, and whatever size injectors you're putting in. then the car will start and run to get you to the dyno.

exactly. you can have them set up the ecu so that you can put the afm and injectors in while the board is being done, then when you get the ecu back, just plug it in and it will drive fine.

I still wouldn't load it right up until it's been tuned though. The inbuilt tool for changing the afm and injectors comes close but odds are things still need to be massaged to be running spot on.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time.

      My BMW 335i

      This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins.

      Was the car running before he touched the car?
