The combination of these 3, plus the different engine internals

There are a million and one threads about cars with stock ECU's and more boost running like crap, Rich and Retard etc etc.

Aftermarket ECU + Tune will = Engine running better

thats exactly why i asked my above question.

but if the car has been running for a year before any problems arrised then might be something else.

but then again he has only had the car for a month so the issues may have always been there

thanks guys, it was running fine all month till the past week now its running crap house as stated above, thanks for all your help

any ideas on a computer to run? i can get a emanage blue would that be a good idea or ? any suggestions would be awesome thanks

You will need a Z32 ecu (no Nistune for R33) - have a look at the Nistune site and read the nistune thread here. Or if you can afford it Link/Vipec . You don't mention it but maybe you already have a bigger (3in - 4in) exhaust but with an aftermarket ecu and exhaust you will be all set for a bigger turbo and injectors and 300+kw!

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
