Just trying to work out who would you guys/gals reccomend to perform a tune after I get a new turbo in the South East Melbourne.?

I belive that Trent (Chequered Tuning) wont be doing them anymore...........

I am nearly at the stage of doing the mods but cant if I cannot get a reputable tuner to remap my tune...

Regards,

Darren

Trent will still be tuning, but i believe will just have limited days to do so each week.

Otherwise, Paul @ Westside Chasers would be your next best bet. But definitely try Trent first

as for mpc........... go Trent or Paul

Nar its what Stao's from Hypergear is saying based on his GTST test turbo car.

he mentioned that with all the remaps "possibly" the r33 with a z32 ecu has bugs or something and it take longe to/if fix with Trent and he says he dosnt want to do these anymore?

I just hope he reconsiders as I am in the process of an ATR43 SS1.5, injectors etc and need it tuned soon...(weeks)

***************Just an update from forum from Nistune guys******************

I always get datacorruption issues on the test car

How do you know for sure its data corruption? Did you read back the maps andthey were all spiky or did the ECU stop running? These are the indicators thatsomething is corrupt, otherwise there is a different issue. I have to have achat to Trentabout this one

data in it gets changedquite so often, I'm not sure if that causes the issue.

Shouldnt cause the issue. If unsure read back the maps which were originally init and compare what was saved on your laptop after burning the tune

The Z32 ECU and nistunechip on R33GTST just didn't work probably on my cars. Which it's also thereason trentstopped doing those.

The main problem with using a Z32 ECU on an RB25DET is the knock sensors. Z32ECUs use the doughnut SR20 style knock sensors and RB25DET use the hose typeknock sensors. I suspect there is more sensitivity and your ECU is jumping toknock maps

We normally recommend disabling knock feedback during tuning for this reason.Also Nistune software will now indicate which maps it is running from at anytime. Boards dont lose their tune once a burn is performed as its stored toEEPROM.

Justa follow up. Found out that Pete did the install and was supplied with a 16 bitZ32 ECU

We officially only support (and have tested base maps) for the 8 bit models forRB25. Part numbers listed in our documents for 8 bit models should assist withfinding correct units

We have not used 16 bit models so haven't got experience with these but fromwhat Trentindicated there are issues with these ones as well as a glitch found with VEmap RPM tracing (fixed in 0.10.9 software release)

I just got an email from Trent @ Chequered and he is definately not interested in doing the Z32 ECUs in the R33 any more.

Which pisses me off big time as I purchased the bloody thing on his advice through someone that he put me in touch with :rant:

So the big question is if Trent (who was the supposed master of these things) doesn't want to touch them any longer are they just a crap solution???

I do not want to throw good money after bad and end up in a world of pain and frustration.

What now???

We are taking dealer ship with adaptronic ecus that run on Map sensors. Cost abit more but you save from the donor ecu, and Z32 AFM assembly. so works out to be about the same . I will speak to trent on Thursday to see whats the most best option within the budget, and will post up prices, all of our customers will receive a discount on those ECUs.

You can put up your Z32 ecu and nistune chip on ebay. I'm pretty sure some one will buy that package from you.

+1 for power fc on r33 gtst easily tuned no problems and not that expensive while you can also monitor whats happening with the controller. Just sell the it on ebay as stao said will go quick then get the power fc and take it to trent and you wont regret it.

Yes I am well aware of the Power FC thanks however they are not cheap and I already have the Nistune ECU... which up until yesterday thought that this was a good solution (in some ways it has advantages over the PFC).

PFC is good but seems to come with it's own set bugs and issues as well so it isn't perfect (and for that kind of money I expect it to be!)

Dr Drift is still keen to tune the Z32 for me..

It sounds like maybe Trent has just had a gut full of fixing other peoples f^@k ups and mucking around with these ECUs.

Trent is running a small business and has customers lining up for his services so he is in a position to pick and choose I guess.

(hopefully I will get the facts on this matter today through another contact)

As far as I know there are plenty of happy punters running the Z32 Nistune ECU in their R33 - or am I missing something? :huh:

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
