Type 6 boards are out for R33 ECUs, far better than using a modified Z32 ECU

http://forum.nistune.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2708

Nistunes are NOT rubbish, I've tuned 3x S15s with them and I have no issue with them. The software is decent too, and has the ability to overlay AFR vs. load points on the trace windows (which I find very handy).

Currently using Adaptronic too, decent ECU however the software is not as refined as others but once you get your head around it it's ok.

Are the type6 boards actually available? There was a bit of fanfare but I haven't seen anything since.

What's wrong with nistune z32 modded ecu's for r33's?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think you only get partial knock detection, and an issue with the TPS which results in hesitation/poor driveability. Some people experience it, some don't.

I've got a Nistune in mine, and for the price, can't really complain. Had an issue recently where one of the tracks on the circuit board (not sure if Nistune or Mainboard) burnt through, and needed to be sent back for diagnostic and repair. Only cost like $80 for the fix including postage.

My main gripe is poor driveability on tip-in and closed throttle. Can drive around it, but means I need to ride the clutch a lot at low speeds. But, I'm told this is tune related rather than Nistune. Going for turbo upgrade soon so will see if re-tune fixes it. Also asked if ECU upgrade would be worth it and was told that Nistune would be fine.

In conclusion I guess, I'm not complaining with Nistune for the money. But if I were to start again, I would strongly consider getting something like the Adaptronic straight up.

Yeah after the feedback from you guys and doing some reseach about it, I think i might just save up a few pennys and buy a Power FC.

Thanks again everyone!

Just an update for what it's worth. After retune driveability issues are all gone. Cold start is great, and the issue I was having at part throttle has been tuned out. No limitations on Nistune there.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
