So on this note,

Been Messing with my Shockies,

now as we know there different to what RS4 run,they use Fork type,& we use EYE ,

so Wa Suspension,sent a eye bush off to east,& now i have a set of Bushes for EYE type bush,had sleeve welded in to Fork,

then put then in Stagea,now many will say what :whistling: ,wrong type :domokun: ,

Nice work chuck.

Finally got up to see my mate on Friday and got the NIStune board installed in my ECU, took all of about 20 mins

Made a few minor changes to make living with the Haltech a bit easier until I find time to remove it and repair the butchered loom

Set up the Z32 afm, have been running it since the stocker died but because the Haltech runs a map sensor it wasn't too much of an issue.. I thought.. turns out it was screwing with the TP so VCT was needing a lot more load to flick on, feels SO much better punting around the streets with it working properly! Also set the VCT enable temp to 50deg (as stock ECU is reading the temp ~20-25deg low) until I pull the Haltech out, then I'll chuck a stock water temp sender back in.

I can't believe what was supposed to be a respected workshop set it all up like this :no::domokun:

is a nistune the way to go for a stag?

I've got basic mods like full exhaust, fmic, ebc

looking to tune for decent fuel economy and also up boost to 12psi

Definitely, mine went in on Friday and Chuckies' is going in tonight :thumbsup:

With all the features of an aftermarket stand-alone ecu for basically half the price, NIStune is definitely the way to go! :)

If you don't want the software, boards are only ~$260 for the series 2 so WAY cheaper than a full standalone (anyone know any mugs that want to buy a Haltech?:P).

Software licenses are $200 for a single seat last time I looked.

Yeah for s2 it is, im just gonna get a safc or similar for my s1.

Series 1 you just need a NIStuned RB20 ECU and an rpm window switch, both of which I think I just saw in the For Sale area ;)

I can get boards and if a bunch of you want them around the same time I can probably organise a groupbuy :thumbsup:

Hhmmm I'm interested, do you know someone who has done it? Mines auto if that matters, what's the rpm window switch for?

With the earlier autos like yours (R32/33 era), the Transmission Control Module is a separate unit. In the 34 era autos (series 2 stags, tiptronic), the TCM is an extra board inside the ECU which is why we have such limited aftermarket ECU options (my Haltech is currently piggybacked onto the stock ECU). Not too knowledgable about the old autos and it would need some looking into but I would imagine the TCM would just need a a couple of inputs and it might have an output back to the ECU for when it wants to change (which after you shift kit the auto is kinda pointless anyway).

The window switch is to control VCT as RB20's never had it.

You basically need to search for people who have NIStuned their auto R33's I guess. Also, Matt from NIStune is very helpful and regularly checks the NIStune thread in the Forced Induction area.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
