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.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
