Hi Guys,

I recently moved from SA and I need to find a tuner that is trustworthy and in particular; knowledgeable with Nistune (RB20 ECU running a RB25DET, EPROM program/new features etc.) E85 etc.

I live in Springfield and work near Beenleigh. Willing to travel to get the best result.

Thanks in advance.

I currently am running 100% E85. But I'm thinking it would be more convenient to go flex in the near future. The United Race Blend E85 is another curveball (which will depend on price and them not running out all the time).

My car has been tuned without VCT. So the first thing I need is a tuner to tweak the tune with VCT on and then I can set the window switch at the optimal cross over. It's so doughy down low as you can imagine.

To compound matters my exhaust manifold is slightly cracked. So I’ll probably get a 6boost (high mount) so new pipe work and maybe turbo? Waste gate? The list goes on and never stops ;)

Got my R32 gtr with nistune done on E85 at EFI, they seem to have done a great job and the car runs well. So plus 1 for EFI I guess.

The 107 octane race fuel variant from united seems interesting, though I don't think i'd go for it as it'd limit the areas you could refuel way to much for a street car I think. Also because i'm getting valve float and I wouldn't really gain much more top end with it.

That being said, would be great for more dedicated track cars, or in a flex setup if you were content to spend a lot of your time on 98.

What switch do you have for VCT with RB20 ECU? Something external or a tweak?

If you want a good starting point then turn VCT on at 1200rpm and off at 4800rpm. It might not be perfect but will be much better than what you have and probably a bees dick off optimal.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
