Unfortunately i have no idea man..

I brought the car as stock rb25 with a highflowed turbo

Then discovered the Nistune and now turbo

If i put a stock ecu in, it throws a nock sensor code and idles extremely rough and rich

Nistune only runs 1 knock sensor and it idles and and drives very smoothly and it doesnt smell like it runs rich, yet to calculate fuel consumption

Will be getting it to a nistune tuner as soon as everything else is sorted


Probably an RB20 ECU that runs with the nistune and apparently most nistuned RB20 runs entirely on the knock map so the tuner copy the main fuel and ignition maps into the knock map and it runs normally. Mine is setup like that, it constantly runs on the knock map with or without the knock sensors plugged in, even with the 1M resistor shunt to ground to replace the knock sensor. The ECU doesn't throw any code but still runs only on the knock map.

What is your ECU reference ?

According to my notes 446179-0032 is a 56 compressor trim GT2871R cartridge .

From memory what you have on the cold side is an early HKS type machined inlet shroud which they used on the RB six cylinder versions of their 2530Rs 2535Rs and 2540Rs . The GTRSs had a unique port shrouded compressor housing on the RB versions and the four cylinder versions had a Nissan/Garrett style compressor housing . The RB version used a 52 compressor trim version of the 2871R . I think the 2530 cartridge number was 446179-0021 , the 2535 446179-0019 , and the 2540 446179-0018 . I think the GTRS cartridge is 446179-0067 .

To me it looks like someone had a HKS spec turbo and hi flowed it with a Garrett marketed 2871 56T cartridge .

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
