 I plan on replicating the stock ECU map as much as possible on a Haltech Elite ECU but it’s blocked by registration issues. 

And this is why American will consume more RB engines then the rest of the world

Tuning comes later, I just want to make sure that I change as few variables as possible. I'm not particularly well-equipped so I can't make a whole base map from scratch and make it flawless.

Something I've been thinking about for a while is why with ITBs everyone is still using pure TPS in certain cases instead of throttle mass flow or something like that. It seems insane to me to tune based on a variable that doesn't actually represent engine load

You would use run both Alpha-N and MAP for load, something the Haltech does very well if you add in another dimension to the fuel / ignition tables.

Does that translate really to a mass flow value though? I thought it was basically using TPS as the primary load, with the MAP primarily functioning as correction once you get on boost. TMF still requires blending at the top end, but as you approach WOT alpha-N is a pretty decent strategy anyways.

That hasn't been true since the 90s. If anyone is still doing it it is because they are daft.

In my head I was thinking of the popular MAP + TPS blending. As far as I can tell there is still significant portions of the engine map where the load is almost entirely TPS + barometric correction from the MAP and not much else. In the Haltech base maps fuel load is pure TPS.

Because it's meant for you to start it, check everything and baby it to the tuner.

Not side step 3rd gear and do 8k RPM launch.

So if I changed the turbos and put in a Nistune. Would the base map be safe to drive on? 

The base map is identical to the stock ECU. Nistune just allows you to edit the stock ECU tables in real time and has live tracing/logging functions too.

Define ‘drive on’?

Really, change of snails = a tune. The only driving one should do is to the tuner… using the best boost controller there is… your right foot!

Ok I'll weigh in here since I've done it.  When I blew a stock turbo on my 33 18 years ago I changed to the HKS GT-SS, which is almost the direct equivalent of -9 (HKS has bees dick bigger compressor wheel, exhaust side identical)

I drove it 1500km to Adelaide on the factory fuel pump, injectors and ECU at the speed limit of 110 - 130kph.

When I got there ECU was changed, fuel pump changed, twin Z32 AFM installed, 700cc injectors installed and then was on the dyno a tuned to 330kw on 98ron unleaded at about 1.3bar.

Moral of the story is - yes you can put these turbos on and drive it ok, as in no boost. Change turbos, keep it low load on vacuum and drive to wherever you want and get it tuned and it will be fine.

Personally I'm holding out for the base map that uses a neural network for cylinder air charge estimation that takes all the work out of it.

OK, so what turbos could i run? can i have my factory turbos rebuilt with steel internals and they will bolt on and run fine? if not having a tune was an option what are the best turbos to put on? i know this doesn't fit well with performance but realistically the car wont be drivable for years if what i do will be too expensive and it would just be nice to be able to drive it.

yes, standard turbos rebuilt with steel wheels in the same size and same/similar boost will be the cheapest way to get going again....no tune issues that way. Plus, rebuild is cheaper than all new turbs as no other fittings/exhaust/etc changes are required

cool as. this option I guess makes the most sense. it gets my car back on the road and although its not ideal as far as performance goes, there are worse things than having a factory original R32 GTR. its also by far the easiest sell to the Mrs which makes life easier.

Cheers for all the help ive been given so far. ive been a member of many car forums over the years and they have always been by far the best source of information ive ever found. this one in particular is active, knowledgeable and friendly, so very much appreciated by me. im sure i will have more stupid questions going forward.

I would just make sure the parts are good. Hard part is making sure the turbos are rebuilt properly as well, those things spin at some ridiculous RPM so there is very little tolerance for any mistakes. I would probably ask Hypergear to see if they could do it. Likely not the cheapest option but I would value someone experienced that can do the job right over having to pull the turbos multiple times. I'd be suspect of most ebay rebuild kits, mostly because it's so hard to know the exact provenance of those parts.

There are some people who know what they're talking about, I'm just some random kid that doesn't really know what they're doing. So don't worry too much about it, you're in good company.

yeah that is my next concern. im based in NZ and im not really sure who to use. there are plenty of companies that rebuild turbos but how to know which one will be good could be tough

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
