Hey guys just a couple of quick questions. Should I buy a back up computer for my stagea and get that done by nistune. I haven't delt with nistune before, how long do they usually take to install and get my ecu back to me. And finally once I have it installed how hard is it to sell my current ECU. Or does anyone have a nistuned ECU for an auto s2 c34 that they want to sell????? ;)

Thanks for the info. I have checked out the nistune site and read every page 5 times hahaha. I just don't know all the little things like what sort of turn around time they have, how accurate the base image/tune is. What I am really trying to find out is should I buy another ECU send that to nistune, get all the other bits and pieces together then get it tuned. Or do I get the nistune done with base tune to the mods I already have then upgrade tune on dyno with a tuner. I was thinking about using Just Engine Management in ingleburn to do the final tune.

Nistune won't give you a base tune to suit your mods.

It will be exactly the same as stock once the Nistune board is installed.

Then the tuner can change the map to suit.

Nistune don't tune cars. They make and sell the hardware and software so cars can be tuned.

Thanks Ben, that is exactly what I needed to hear.

Currently only have pod filter, splitfire coils, 3" turbo back exhaust, radiator air deflector. As for the power goals I don't want too much more but was thinking hi flow turbo, nistune. If I have to maybe injectors and fuel pump if needed.

It is time to take a deep breath and work out what you really want from the car before making the next step.

If you are making the jump to modify then you will most likely need a FMIC, boost controller, Nistune, hiflow turbo or decent aftermarket, decent catalytic converter, fuel pump and bigger injectors.

If you are prepared to live with the stock turbo you can leave out the bigger injectors and possibly the fuel pump but I would still make sure the rest is done.

Take your time deciding because every time you change your mind it costs more money to R&R parts and then you need to pay to retune.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
