Hey guys brand new to the Stagea and Nissan and Boosted world lol, but I have a question hopefully someone can shed some light on. I recently purchased a 1999 Stagea RS4 S Manual. The guy I got it from said it had an IMPUL remapped ECU when it came over from Japan. The question is can I get it done with NisTune over the top or do I need a whole new ECU ? Any help greatly appreciated and Ill be sure to post some pics of the new toy up soon as I get some :-D

An IMPUL remapped ECU would = a Nistune...

They both remapped the stock ECU's.

Fuel / Ignition settings etc... Have been modified / tuned for better performance.

But many factors car effect the ECU's tuning.

ie. The IMPUL ECU could have been tuned to Japanese Fuel...

Best is to remove it and get a Nistune done and tuned to our Fuel / Conditions etc...

You can't have both IMPUL and Nistune, just one.

A impul Ecu does not equal a nisstune! An impul Ecu is a basic chip alteration like a mines Ecu with set parameters like, maybe boost cut speed cut rev limiter change, maybe fuel and timing but none of these are adjustable "tuneable" as they are with a nistune . And neither of the systems are a piggy back because you are changing the actual Ecu settings, not interrupting the signal via a external Ecu

You will be able to send or take your current Ecu in and have nistune installed they will remove the impul chip board ect, if you know what mods your going to run and you go direct to nistune you can get a base map loaded on that will be very close to what yo need . I.e my mates rs4s

Z32, hyper gear high flow 3076, 3"turbo back exhaust, walbro Intank pump stock injectors fmic . Plugged It in turned boost up via controller from 5psi to 11 -12 for now car runs excellent straight out the bag , cold start idle and all

Cheers jase

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
