So, I found a used ecu fitted with nistune. The guy says he had it on his r33 gtst which from my understanding means that it is either a gtst ecu or a z32 ecu. Would either work for me with remapping? Obviously the r32 one i think would work but what if it is a z32 ecu?

Z32 is better i think as it has the ability to control VCT.

While that used to be true, there are other not so good things about that the Z32 ECU that made the R32 nicer to live with. And these days, the new feature packs allow you to do VCT with the R32 ECU.

Grab it. The r32 one as gtsboy said can control VCT without a switch anymore. You'll need to get a z32 AFM with it and you're good to go.

Ok, so it looks like it is a z32 ecu by the numbers on the case. Before I buy it, this will work on my r32 non vct engine?(obviously with a remap)  He's asking$150aud which is about $100 USD and that is a good deal for me even with shipping it over from Australia.

With full flex, launch control, 3D boost table, and rudimentary engine protection.

I have almost everything for this project except for an ECU(Australian guy who I was going to buy the nistune fitted ecu from stopped responding), and I also need an intercooler of some sort and piping. I'm tempted just to get a stock side mount setup from someone who has upgraded but I'm not sure yet.  

 

I actually got in contact with someone on here who had posted about doing the exact thing I was originally wanting to do with running the rb25de+t with the gtst ecu and he had issues.  Makes sense but I figured it was worth a shot asking.  Still looking for a nistune fitted board.  If I don't find one by around October I may just go with a ROM tune since no performance shops around me will tune nistune and I'd have to find someone willing to do a remote tune.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
