Im looking for a computer for my 32 Gtst but it is so hard to find anything that isnt a big $ racing set up.

I dont want to flash the chip cos its expensive in the long run (retune everytime i change somethig) and no handset with all the cool stuff on it.

Apexi power fc is what i want but its very hard to find, nearly got a new one from a bloke in japan, but it was put in some show car, so close yet so far.

Does anyone know about Link G4? They say i can get one but ive never heard of anyone using one on a 32 Gtst.

I think the motor is really lacking without it, considering the cams and turbo are upgraded.

uh... no matter what ECU you have, if you make modifications you will need to have it retuned.

That is part and parcel of making modifications.

The same G4 plug in Link suits the R33 or R32 but Nistune will be a cheaper option. Any ecu needs to be retuned when you mod your engine.

If you have already upgraded the turbo and cams with the stock ecu not only are you missing out on the potential gains you are also risking your engine.

I think he was more talking about the need to pull and burn chips to achieve that retune, which is the most annoying part of chipped ECU tuning.

Hmmmm...

Well shes running rich and i never rev it over about 5000.

And i live in canberra so im limited to what the local tuners can tune, waiting to hear back from them.

I would pay for an apexi.

Well see about nistune.

Nistune.

and if you want to see a display - get an ecudatascan device.

I've got that combo in my R32.

http://ecudatascan.com.au/store.html

it can display like 10 or 12 parameters from an R32 GTST.

Also can be a GPS

and do lap timing for tracks and you can actually build your own track image in to it etc etc.

Cant get Nistune done here, i got quoted $3200 for a new Haltech setup with map sensor and tuned, im sure its good but too expensive for me. He also recommended bigger injectors, more $$$.

Maybe i have to take it to Sydney for a Nistune?

Is the Nistune up to the job? How well can it be tuned?

This is turning out to be much more difficult than i thought, so ill tell you whats on my car and maybe you (Sydney tuners) or someone you know can tune it properly.

R32 gtst manual (converted from auto)

Fmic

Rb25 turbo

Unknown cams (probably tomei poncams)

Pod filter

Cat back exhaust

Thermo fan

Should i get:

Split dump

3" cat

Adjustable cam gears

Bosch fuel pump

Or what bits do you guys recommend?

I would go to Sydney if ican get it done properly in one go. Want to do it ALL for under $4000.

as a guide.

my car has:

pod

turbo back exhaust

fuel pump

15psi on stock turbo

nistune

makes 160rwkw

so with an RB25 tubo you'll get around 10-15% more at the same boost (roughly)

not sure how much difference the cams and cam gears will make.

Definitely finish off the exhaust and do the fuel pump.

I don't think it will need bigger injectors if the turbo you are going to use is an RB25 one.

nistune is up to the task mate.

in some ways, more so than a PFC.

Canberra is only like 3 hours away from sydney

organise a day with a tuner and drive down for it.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
