Jer this is all you need to notice an improvement like what zebra said

Nistune = $400

Tune = $750

Total = $1150

Optional addons

AFM = $200

Injectors = $600

Fuel pump = $200

Coilpacks = $450

Turbo = $900

Plus any parts that aren’t working that are discovered at the tuning phase... :unsure:

I had some nice surprises...

- Coilpacks = $450

- VCT Solenoid = $200

Even after buying an aftermarket pump (bosch 040) It wasn't working properly. Threw in a Walbro = $110

Great surprises!

It was totally worth it though. Fixed some small bugs I had plus the power. Best 3-4k spent on the car

Jez no need for a turbo.

You could go from 150-160rwkw now to 190ish just with nistune and a bit more boost.

Believe me it makes a difference.

Not to mention you can get a big gain in the midrange which makes them a lot of fun

The benefit of a Nistune would be the option to retune for more power with more supporting mods down the track.

ie. injectors and Hiflow etc. (SAFC won't really do this)

I thought the gains would potentially be greater than that for just a Nistune and tune though.

For 2.5k-3k. I would get a Haltech, RB20 Wastegate actuator, a walbro pump and a tune. Should be about $2.7k. Would make about 220rwkw which is heaps.

- Injectors should handle up to 235rwkw

- R34 Stock Turbo should be a OP6 so it's big anyways

- Haltech is better than Nistune.

I think the above prices are not installed, so you would need to include labour. Labour is expensive at between $90-$140 per hour. Haltech, wastegate and pump should be easy to install yourself.

Yeah :( I am kicking myself that any direction over 200kw is at least 3k. Hmmmm

edit: Cheers guys for the info. I think a hard decision will need to be made in the coming of weeks.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
