R33 S2

[jjman]

anyone tried these? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=766024038

please, no.

if seen these should be killed on site- with fire.

Besides which, you've been able to get someone like Toshi to remap the R33 ECU anyway. Just not realtime tuneable the way the other ECUs are. Still better than a mail order chip.

There is also an imminent Nistunable board for R33s on the horizon too.

Cheer and if anyone has the above mentioned bits for sale in SA let us know Cheers!

RB20 (R32?) Actuator - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/salisbury-north/engine-engine-parts-transmission/r32-r33-rb20-rb25-parts/1053295328

Not mine, no idea who it is, don't know if it is the right one, 2 minutes searching....

SO let me get this straight

this

Z32 (300ZX) or R32 ECU plus a Nistune daughter board - this will allow a tuner to modify the factory tune

R32 Wastegate actuator (10 psi vs 5psi stock)

or an aftermarket ecu like the power fc at this stage seems like my best bet for a bit more usable power.

[Ben C34]

Yes.

And Nistune is in South Australia.

I might go see that wigger on the weekend! I don't look for these things very often. A relatively local one isn't a bad thing.

Sweet cheers ill see whats available over the next week and go either way depending on that. Some great info bit confusing but im getting there. thanks guys

Also worth noting that a PFC and a commander allows you to monitor and change settings easily. Nistune requires a license and cable as an extra cost. It is another thing to consider before committing one way or the other.

Cheers mate second hand ok for the pfc found one with controller for about 700. Would i still need the r32 actuator as well?

[Ben C34]

How many people does the power fc hand controller actually help?

Everyone i see it just confuses them and the mess stuff up with it!

[wolverine]

Being able to monitor some settings is pretty handy IMO. There is an extra cost for the cable and license and should be accounted for if choosing Nistune to get this functionality.

I have used both ecu's and both are good so I have no inherent bias for a street car.

You are spot on about people messing things up....but we can only hope we are advising sensible people.

I've got an R32 Rb20det factory wastegate actuator (10psi).

according to the gauge I had it was actually 0.8Bar which is more like 11.75 psi. Depends slightly on your exhaust and FMIC set up, and where you source boost from for the actuator.

anyway it's sitting in a box doing nothing let me know if you want it

When I had big exhaust + big intercooler on my RB20 it gave 12.5 psi without a boost controller.

You in adelaide mate? would be keen flick us a message.

I had about 7psi before i put the front mount in and now i get 9psi after the install.

is the z32 ecu good value at $200 second hand? Say if i go to jaustech or morpower can they supply the nisstune board to suit or would i have to source that my self. Looking at $900 for a tune so price wise looking pretty good at the moment. I would like to run 10-12psi once tuned fingers crossed.

Also read through the rb25det dyno sticky and there seems to be a huge variance in power with same mods. Would most put it down to a dud motor or just flogged out.

[triggerhappy]

Also last night discovered the heating is not working in the car neither is the ac. The belt is off the ac pulley and the turning the compressor sounds like a dry bearing. Two different issues i will have to look into here

The Z32 seems good value. You can get Nistune to install the daughterboard for you, as previously posted they are in Adelaide. Have a read of http://www.nistune.com/equipment-products-type2.php - $300 installed

If one of those actuators are still for sale I would grab it - as posted (GTSBoy?) they can be hard to locate as everyone with an RB25Det wants one.

There are cheaper tune options in Adelaide. We went to Graham West & it cost $350 - we got 215RWKW with the mods listed in my original post, although we did have a base tune for similar mods already. Very happy with the attention to detail & the results.

Cheers and yeah the plan is to grab that actuator if local and the right $

Everyone i see it just confuses them and the mess stuff up with it!

helped me when I couldn't get 98 and put in 95 RON.. just went into the controller and trimmed of 3 degrees of timing - happy days..

not to mention I ran the Apexi Boost Kit too.. so hand controller was tits.

these days, wouldn't touch that dinosaur.. rawr lol

[Ben C34]

But you are a genius!

10 (8?)mm spanner can achieve the same thing in desperation.
