Yeah, but as I've told you before, they don't have these tables in Nissan ECUs. Only the RB26 even has an inlet air temp sensor. The whole point of my post was that you have to work with what you've got. In the case of Nistune, it means that the knock maps are not always reliable, so you have to decide if you're going to try to live with random changes of map (when it shouldn't), or it never changing because it never detects knock even when it happens (which also occurs, and is of course worse) or whether you're going to disable it and tune sensibly to avoid the problem altogether. It is possible to tune so that you might miss out on some winter performance, but you won't ping it to death in summer.

Burnouts are dumb at the best of times. So I say that motors that cook as a result are not a problem, just an education.

nistune has coolant temp trim tables.

but yeah do what you said re just tuning for summer and itll be fine all year

Random changes....sounds a bit disconcerting for a daily driven car.

If I do go for a nistune/PFC the closest tuner will be nearly 2 hours away, which makes me think any drama's will be a big hassle for me.

There's no reason to be stressed about it. Once tuned, a nistuned ECU should be able to be left alone until you change something on the engine. Mine hasn't been hooked back up to the laptop since it was tuned years ago (apart from just to have a look at something.)

ok, cool. Well I am pretty much sold on the nistune, seems to be the best bang for buck option. And it seems they don't make PowerFC's anymore (not that it really matters).

What is the going rate for a nistune....tune?

guess i'll have to trawl through the QLD site to find some reputable tuners who are nistune friendly. Do I NEED a z32 or is just optional/better than the stock AFM?

And final question (I hope) - I have come across a 2nd hand ecu with nistune already installed, if I were to buy this would it be a simple plug and play and then getting it tuned to my mods?

Thanks again, you guys have been very helpful :cheers:

It has a resolution suited to higher airflow, so if you max out the stock one (~240kw ish) then you need a Z32 or it makes tuning very difficult.

Re the ECU no it isn't that simple, you cant just plug an R32 ECU into an R33, you need to wire it in.

So my stock AFM should be fine for the ~200 mark? The ecu/nistune i'm looking at is out of an R34....

EFI do Nistune in QLD and the tuner sean is great, I had my R32 Nistuned by them it never missed a beat as long as I owned it.

I went a Power FC in my R34 GT-T and it's working great, I have had it installed since the car had it's first mods fitted, No issues with the unit what so ever.

Rolls , what makes u think u have to wire in an r32 ecu to a 33?

Rolls only the VTC needs to be wired in on gtst's. But if u buy a programmed r32 ecu that has rb20 image u will have to either change the tps to a rb20 tps or send the board to NIStune to get a rb25 base image programmed.

On GTR as EAT ME posted, change a few settings in NIStune

That is right, I had to use a S1 rb25det TPS as the S2 one didn't work with the R32 ecu.

So yeah you have to "wire in" a few things, not very difficult though, but if you aren't electrically useful then you would need to pay someone to do it.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
