you already asked this like a week ago didn't you and no replies..

Probably because nobody knows of anywhere.. I'd be interested myself, as at the moment I have 2x RB20DET's in my cars and wouldn't mind a bit of a tune around.

You could get a dyno chart of "before" (with A/F charts), send it down to either toshi or dr_drift then get it sent back chipped. Cost is usually around $200-$400

I checked out my dr drift chip and it had the stock fuel map and a ignition map that looked a lot like another map we downloaded of the net.

:(...mmm that doesnt sound good:(

The Chiptorque agent in NSW Silverwater Automotive Services do it, my friends S14 vmade tip top power and ran a dream, ie drove like a std ECU and it was tuned by SAS...so i would suggest talking to Chiptorque in Brisbane.

It worked out to be about $750-850 for the tune...but you get what you pay for.

There is a Chiptorque down here in Nerang also.. Didn't think of those guys. I keep associating them in my head with just sticking prepackaged chips into rexes and holdens - but obviously they offer more.

$700-$800 sounds a bit scary.. bit cheaper than an aftermarket though, and then u have to pay tuning on top.

Guess I better do all the mods b4 sticking the RB25 turbo on the Passage and getting it tuned :D

$700-$800 sounds a bit scary.. bit cheaper than an aftermarket though, and then u have to pay tuning on top.  

 

That was an estimate based on fuel and ignition tune, removal of boost / speed cuts etc etc. It included dyno time and burning the chip, but of course if it took an extra hours dyno time it could cost $130 more.

If you know what you are after and that youwotn be doing any more mods then it is well worth it, but if you are going to need a tune after more mods aftermarket ecus start to look cheap.

Dont discoutn Chiptorque agents, in NSW/Queensland they are involved in lots of horsepower hero cars etc :D

But with the nerang one... Didnt matty spry used to work for them??? So my question would be, wouldnt it be better to just get the chip, then take it to Matty???

Maybe just see what Matty does. (PITS performace or something)

I checked out my dr drift chip and it had the stock fuel map and a ignition map that looked a lot like another map we downloaded of the net.

I am interested to know more about this and your opinions.

Also I am interested to hear from anyone who has had their R32 RB20DET/RB25DE ECU remapped in Melbourne and where.

  • 4 weeks later...

theres a lot of r32 images on the ztech forums....

once you have the ecu resocketed, anyone who can burn eproms and knows how to tune can do it. there is some software around to do it, most of it is still in development (like mine)

My chip totaly changes fuel and ignition timing map.

eg; R33 auto is 18 kw more than std map at 7psi (std boost) and 32kw more than std map at 10 psi. If some one interstd I will send map. Cost $200. If you are not satisfied with the product, ill be able to refund.

Hi Toshi, I can't PM you for some reason. I am interested in having my ECU remaped soon, as my engine is being rebuilt at the moment.

My car is a 1995 (Dec) R33 Nissan Skyline series 1.5 - with the following mods -

Apexi GT spec FMIC, Jasma 3.5" exahaust (with 4" tip), Blitz Dual SBC electronic Boost Controller (older version/ maybe 1st one released? I will check the part no. & get back to you), New Apexi SAFC 2 (Lmt.Edit), new HKS SSQ BOV, new Walpro 500hp/255l/hr intank fuel pump, new Monza High Per. fuel Regulator with gauge. The engine internals are GTR conrods, ACL Race Bearings, Maule Forged pistons. I am looking at having the fuel/boost limiter cut & the speed cut. I also am looking at getting a little more rwkw, but keeping the boost down as I have a standard turbo. I won't put it past 10-12 psi. I will try to send you a PM, regarding the turbo, as I havn't heard yet if I need to replace it. If you can give me a rough quote for a changeover ECU to suit the car with a standard turbo & and with a new GarrettGT28 (which is what I will put on it, if needed), it would be greatly appreciated. I will get back to you tomorrow about the Blitz EBC & the turbo

Cheers, Chris

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
