Hey fellas,

I just had Nistune ECU fitted and tuned on my 32 gts-t, and just beforehand had an autowatch alarm system installed.

Anywho our fully profesh friends at alberts managed to make just about all my in car electrics discontinue working.

I'm gonna have to take it back in to have it all fixed up again, and was just wondering if there's any chance this could affect the tune.

Thanks in advance.

doubt it, even disconnecting the battery etc wouldnt harm the ECU unless it the car was jumpstarted without fusable links or fuses in it ? or shorted out. while probing wires using a old test light instead of a DMM

I would suspect a bad solder joint or plug in the ECU , not related to the install, just a coincidence

now if they did remote autostart then it could be a possibility , a rare one but ????

what electrics don't work now , it could show where the fault lies

I haven't taken it in the second time to have stuff fixed yet, so the Nistune is still working fine, I just wanted to know for sure before I took it in again. They suspect it's just a blown fuse because it's just the head unit, and interior overhead lights.

it will be a fuse. nice to see that you are giving a well known store a hammering for no reason. if you had a serious problem with the alarm the car would be stranded on the side of the road..

that fuse will be in the main fuse panel above your right knee

Yeah , I'll admit the having a go part was unnecessary on my behalf, probably just heat of the moment.

Understandably you'd be frustrated if you took your car in then got it back with no radio/music at all, no interior lights working.

Then being told the next day your boost controller is broken. It from my knowledge was working fine before I took it in, set for 17psi did exactly that never had any problems.

When i got it back every time I got into boost it would just start beeping at me, I don't really know why. (I'm not saying they had anything to do with it, it could be a coincidence)

But anywho, I'd seen behind the dash of my car, I can understand if they made a mistake, it's a sh**hole back there.

And I did manage to have a look in there, but all the fuses look fine, could it be a short or something?

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
