i dont think the computer itself is a problem, the maps on these computers are for high octane japanese petrol , not suitable even for our PULP,there are many options for aftermarket ecus here in aus so nobody bothers with a mines ecu here (anyone in aus tune them?)

I put this into the search: +Mines +ECU

And this was in the top 3 results :)

There are so many different mines ecus majority are just speed "delimited" some are individually tuned to a set of mods.... these kill motors.

i have had a nismo R32 gtr come in for a nistune and it had a mines remap in it and no amount of tuning netted any more power.

so could i buy a second hand nistuned ecu and plug and play for the rb20 with the usual mods without the 600$ dyno tune??

no as it would be tuned to a particular vehicle... never had two cars react identical in 15 years of tuning.

This.

You could buy an RB20 ECU, have Nistune installed into your ECU with a base image. Drive to tuner. Have it tuned.

Or

You could buy an RB20 ECU with Nistune already installed. Drive to tuner, he'll plug in the ECU and start tuning.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
