you need to add tune cost to that. i know that GT were $1100 base price for complete nistune job.

650 is only instaled. it wont run like that so you then have to instal it and tow it to a workshop then have them tune it wich will be min $300 so theres almost your 1100 for gt.

im pretty sure boost is cheaper than that but power fcs are cheap and they come with a base map and do all the things you need.

nistune is the cheapest way you will get around it but for the price and added benifits of a power fc it would have to be the next cheapest option.

if you find other cheaper ecus like link you will need to find a tuner that will be happy to tune with it. everyone tunes power fcs.

If you plug in a pfc it won't run out of the box if your running bigger inj's or differnent afm etc. The nistune runs a stock map (same as pfc), so once installed it will run like a standard ecu... unless there is a wiring change for z32/rb20 ecu (pretty shure there isn't. just search it) for your application.

Whoever you get to install the nistune or tuner should be able to make the required changes for inj and afm etc to the ecu off the car, so you can drive the car in to get tuned.

But go with what your tuner is happy with..

If you're not a complete tard you should be able to setup your PFC or nistune to suit your injectors and AFM and limp it to the tuners. I wouldn't drive it to work for 2 weeks but...

also +1 go with what ever your tuner likes best, because at the end of the day, any ECU is only as good as it's tuner.

takes about 2 minutes to set it up to run. has z32 and vh41/q45 afm as a option, then set the injectors. if i can do it, your dog can do it.

and i drove my car for 2 weeks like this as my daily. nothing over 5k but still did it with no harm done. when i scaled the injectors, they "should" of been set to 50% but i left them at around 65% to be on the safe side. you can leave latency time as is to just get it from a to b

It's a very similar process to set up the nistune. Just as easy. :nyaanyaa:

Nistune is as easy as:

1: Receive

2: Plug in

3: Drive just like standard :)

And after that its all down to aftermarket bits/ tuning.

Yes... but there is some changes that need to be made in order to run larger injectors or afm.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
