Hey SAU.

There is almost nothing in terms of topics about this type of ECU.

From what i know, they were re-mapped ECU's from the Omari factory. But what I don't know is what has been changed to the ECU map. I'd assume slight advance in timing & boost?????

Would it be similar to the "Mines" ECU, and would it be any good for an R34 GTR in Aussie climate?

I have found a unit from a Vspec II which could be of interest to me (I have a 99 Vpec)

Any thoughts??

It would just be a re-programmable ECU tuned by Nismo for their "Nismo Sports Resetting" GTR's.

Suited to Japan climate / fuel RON etc.

Just get a Nistune done to your OEM ECU.

Thanks for the replies. I was always planning on a Power FC as they can be had for sub $900. Was just curious about the "nismo" package. ECU itself would be pretty rare, if it were "tunable" simliar to a Nistune ROM that would be pretty cool to have on your shopping list.

Cheers guys

Of course you can Nistune the R34 GTR ECU. You can do any of the RB26 ECUs. You can do the R34 GTT ECU. The only ones you can't do are the R33 GTST ones (and a few that we don't care about).

Type 2 boards cover the following earlier consult vehicles:

• M30 Infiniti (VG30E)

• ECR32 Skyline (RB25DE)

• ECR33 Skyline (RB25DET)*1

• HCR32 Skyline (RB20DET)

• BNR32 Skyline (RB26DETT)*2*3

• Q45 Infiniti (VH45DE)*4

• U12 Bluebird (KA24E)

• Y60 Patrol (TB42E)

• Z32 Fairlady 300ZX (VG30DETT)

Nistune uses a daughter board for real-time tuning using a modified version of Nissan Consult. It provides faster transfer rates, realtime modification of maps, constants and tables using the Nistune software.

Provided with CPU connector, 28 pin socket and instructions

Note: You will require a consult cable to connect the laptop to your vehicle. Tax, shipping and transaction fees may apply

*1 ECR33 RB25DET Skyline can use HCR32DET ECU (no VCT) or Z32 VG30DETT ECU (internal modifications required)

*2 BNCR33 Skyline requires BNR32 RB26DETT ECU and O2 sensors

*3 BNR34 Skyline requires BNR32 RB26DETT ECU, O2 sensors and CAS wiring modifications

*4 Q45 VH45DE (1990-1992) using removed high gear maps

Taken from the Nistune website. It can be done but its not simply a "plug and play" I guess..

Oh, valid point. I forgot that even the R33 GTRs were to use the R32 ECU.

It's not hard though. Install different O2 sensors and swap a couple of CAS wires. Adds to the expense of having to buy the sensors though, and I think you lose the MFD on the dashboard too.

Perhaps it's not a great option. Mind you, any other aftermarket ECU has the same or bigger costs and problems.

Have you priced nistune? Don't use a power fc

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having used both they are both good options.

Nistune is a bit more costly than it appears at face value if you also pay for a user licence and interface cable. PowerFC gives you a commander in the glove box for basic sensor checks and for tune tweaks.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
