Hi guys I'm looking for a way to tune my s1 stagea

It's currently running a garret 2871r and 3 inch exhaust but before putting it on a dyno I would like to fit bigger injectors and a z32 afm to maximise the potential of the turbo.

I would like to know if anyone has heard of using a rb20 gts4 auto ecu and installing a nistune board to tune a stagea?

I used this method to nistune an old r33 but am unsure if the gts4 ecu will play around with the 4wd system in the stagea.

I would think its not the awd but the auto you have to worry about. The Attessa has a seperate ecu but the S1 stagea ecu contains the auto ecu - don't know what the story is with the R32GTS4. Your best bet may be to piggy-back an E-manage ecu.

I've spoken with my tuner this morning who works alongside the development of nistune and he's going to talk with them and find out if it's possible. I wonder if the transmissions are much different between the 32 and stagea.

Pretty sure you just need the R32 gtst ecu from an AUTO.

Nistune that board.

Then the hard part is rewiring the 3-lines of pinouts of the S1 to the 2-lines of pinouts to the R32.

Keep in mind that there are wiring differences in S1 ecu's.......

I bought a wiring loom already done with a 32 ecu. It started ran and drove but was too lumpy for my mods. Double checked the wiring and everything looked fine, but i had my doubts because the way it was wired didn't make sense to me. But I tried it in good faith.

It should never have been sold to anyone and should have been thrown away

Took it to get tuned and he said he would check the wiring too but once on the dyno it melted 6 coilpacks. Took it home and cut all the wires and marked them and triple checked the wiring. It all went to where it should. But still didn't make sense on why it was wired like it was (really messy) ((like really messy))

I wouldn't bother with a nistune and I'd go a brand new piggy back.

If you really want you can have the ecu and wiring loom for 100. I was going to throw it away and sell the ecu for 100.

Very well explained....as I was going to think bout nistune as well till this happened

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
