$200 posted to Sydney??

I've got a brand new NIStune type 4 board for sale.

I got it as a gift, so it's never been opened or installed at all.

It suits:

• B14 NX2000 (SR20DE) [upto 1996 only]

• K11 Micra (CG10DE/CG13DE) [later model]

• N15 Pulsar (GA16DE)

• G20 Infiniti P10 (SR20DE) [upto 1995 only]

• P11 Primera (SR20DE) [upto 1997 only]

• S13 180SX "Type R" / "Type X" (SR20DET)

• S14A Silvia/200SX (SR20DET)

• S15 Silvia/200SX (SR20DET)

• S14 240SX (KA24DE)

• ER34 Skyline (RB25DET)

• WC34 Stagea late [JECS ECU only] (RB25DET)

• U13 Altima (KA24DE) [upto 1995 only]

• Y33 Cedric (VQ30DET)

Installation guide: http://nistune.com/d...nstallation.pdf

NIStune sell it for $286 plus postage.

I'm willing to let it go for $280 posted to your door.

An important point is that while this board may support all those different ECUs, it can only have the base image for one of them installed. It will likely have been programmed with one image, or it is even possible that it hasn't even had an image put on it. Either way, unless someone wants it for the same ECU as it may already have on it, they will need to either send it to Nistune or take/send it to a Nistune dealer to get the base image programmed on.

As such, the asking price of $280 is quite possibly a little steep for anyone who would need to ship it to somewhere else and back to be able to use it.

cheers

Thanks a lot GTSTBoy - very good point below, I hadnt thought of that!

If the base image thing is true, then it will definitely have a base image of a R34 GTT, as it was going to go into my car.

As for sending away and stuff... Wouldn't a qualified NIStune tuner/dealer would be able to do that? And to get the most out of NIStune, you would need to get a tune anyway...

Anyway, price is pretty firm on it, for now, as I've got a few people interested at the moment.

Whether or not is has the image on it depends on how it was bought - it is most likely that it was programmed - they're useless without it!

As to whether tuner/dealers can put the base program on or not, it is not too hard to do - just requires some small investment. I guess there might be a few out there who haven't bought the stuff required to do it (you need the programming board and some software) or perhaps are not willing to do it and just order what they need as they need it from NIStune.

And yes, to get the best out of NIStune, you do need to tune it. But that doesn't mean that you need to pay someone to tune it for you. I bought the software and tuned it myself (borrowed/stolen dyno time).

Understand you mean good for the members interested in the item for sale, but let the man sell his stuff for how much he wants. Almost everyone who installs an ECU/piggyback tend to have it tuned anyway so I don't what's the big issue as it still fits the cars he has stated. If 'you believe' it's steep, keep it to yourself and let the buyers decide.

Back on topic. Good luck with the sale, shame you're not planning on putting it in your car. Seen cars made good power with the NIStune without the pricetag of a PowerFC.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
