I just found out today because my car is an automatic,it'd cost around $3,500.00 to remap or install the new piggyback ECU or something ? Not really sure.

someones taking you for a ride...

just go with a nistune board. install.. remap and away you go

What will the NISTUNE do to my car exactly ? Sorry I'm not really familiar with this kind of things as I never had a turbocharged car before lol.

In this case I would be either doing a lot of reading on here, or just find someones setup that you like and copy their setup and take it to the same tuner (obviously must be local to you and run an automatic gearbox).

It is like getting a full aftermarket ECU as it lets you retune ignition and fuel maps in real time as well as tweak some other things.

Well I think the 230kw figure is a load of crap and I doubt with a stock ecu you are making over 180, so normally you'd see ~200 with the neo turbo. It is also a required upgrade before you can do anything else, can't go bigger turbo or change injectors without it.

Should see better economy and smoother acceleration definitely thoug, really need to see what it is like on the dyno now to see how much of an improvement there can b, some look worse than others and have a huge dip in the midrange due to it richening up.

yep, i had my ecu remapped with a nisstune and it cost me $650.... and that was an auto ecu in a manual conversion

Yeah,I asked Imports 101 and they said they'd charge $1,500.00 for the Nistune,fitted,tuned and tested ? How come it's expensive compared to other workshop ?

Also regarding lowering the car with king springs,here in Perth Ian Diffen or Tech 9 Tyres can do them for $500 fitted but Imports 101 said they can do it for $750 fitted ?

Is it good service or a rip off ? Where did you do yours ?

Thanks.

They also said that I will need boost valve bleed or something for $130 fitted or a good controller for $750 fitted ? Altogether you'd be looking for $2,000.00 ?

Usually for the Nistune drive in drive out with a tune shouldn't be more than $750, i think $1500 is a bit steep for it, Instead u can get a power FC + Tune for around $1700.. I suggest you check around other places for the Nistune because its great bang for buck!!

Ring around, that is steep even if they are great tuners. A boost controller is not needed for stock turbo, an exhaust will cause it to run 10-12psi anyway with an rb20 actuator.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
