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.

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
