So its pretty much stock S2 stagea with blitz air filter and exhaust with sbc i colour, i have a little box in the passenger footwell with SIDC box???

it has a mines ecu with :

Fuel mapping has been changed

Ignition timing adjusted

Speed limiter cut

Rev limiter raised plus(+) 300rpm

Guys at autoworx recomending i get a new fuel pump.

I want to get a new ecu as it is.

here is dyno sheet, i believe this is on mid level boost....

Nope.

It is kind of like a piggy back but is sort of like a completely new ECU. It is additional 'address space' and kind of interrupts the factory default values and is placed inside the factory ECU.

This basically allows you to have full adjustment of pretty much everything via the consult port via some cheap laptop software downloaded from the nistune website. For example, I can now change the Thermo fan set point which was usually an 'emergency thermo' for my SR20DET. I've removed the factory clutch fan and now the ECU takes care of cooling duties!

hay man that mines ecu you have the best thing to do with it is to remove it and throw it in the bin !!!!! my mate had one in his 33 and it caused all kinds of problems for him and never tuned properly , and would always lean out on a high boost setting and could never hold a smooth AFR for some unknown reason . seriously man the best thing to to is to spend the 400 bucks on a nistune daughter board installed into a STD ecu and all your problems will be solved . my s2 before i installed the nistune was pulling 235 hp on 10 psi , and 2.5 exhaust std cooler and turbo smart boost tee . now i have a 3'' exhaust , FMIC and coustom intake setup , but i havent had it tuned yet because of getting hit in the ass by a stupid ford driver and having to get it fixed but now i have it back so it should be all go after christmas , and im hoping for around 290 -320 hp at all fours with a goog tuner . cheers spinner ..

How much are they normally
See if this one's still for sale - I think he wanted $400 for the ecu c/w nistune chip - you could just plug it in an get a tune.

$450 I recall for the ECU.

Thats if its still available. The thread was killed by some non-buyers tearing at it.

The board itself is about $280, a single user license for the NIStune software is $200 I think (you don't need this, it's only if you want to be able to fiddle with stuff yourself, or ask me to do it :) ) - both purchased straight from NIStune.

Carton of beer to a competent electronics technician to install the board.

Then find your tuner of choice (I can recommend Hyperdrive and Allstar Garage) and pay by the hour for tuning. Shouldn't take too long as it's pretty much stock.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
