BAMR33

Sounds good, something to think about. I didn't literally mean "would it turn on" more re: compatibility with this ecu and thought with your experience selling nistune you may have come across someone with an r33 trying to use this ecu. I just don't want to sink anymore money into this ecu unless I can be positive it'll be compatible.

Thanks for the offer mate, so do you know for sure if this ecu will work or not? And do you sell the cable and licence?

So it has the socket soldered in, that's what I meant when I incorrectly said daughter board.

I wasn't doubting your advice, I also come up with the same result of rb25e before posting this thread, I just wanted opinions without my bias added. I used the wrong terminology when I said daughter board before, I thought that was the cradle thing where the chip sits which definitely has installed. RB20det ecu's are priced like they are gold plated because as you probably know you can't chip the r33 rb25det ecu's and have to use either rb20det or z32 ecu so demand and price has gone up. These ecu's go for about 250 second hand on eBay out of Japan, 25 years old plus and could be stuffed and then you have fit nistune on top of that which starts to get into the power fc price point. That is I why I bought this ecu, I thought I was getting a bargin but poor man pays twice I guess.

Contacted the seller, the outside case is irrelevant just a spare cover he had laying around. Apparently it is an r32 rb25de ecu and has been chipped to suit an r33 gts25t, which I didn't know was even possible... Just requires the wires from the third and fourth injectors to be swapped. Has the daughter board fitted so I guess he has no reason lie. It appears to be lacking the knock board like 25t ecu so I probably won't be using the ecu anyway. Contacted nistune, I think he thought I was a time waster lol, I do genuinely want to get nistune on an ecu. Probably just have join the nistune forum as suggested and get some more specific knowledge on the ecu...

The idea was to nistune this ecu for my s1 rb25det r33 but I don't think it's going to work with this ecu unless someone knows otherwise.

So I took the punt on scumtree and bought an r32 ecu chipped for rb25det. I've received the ecu and it is chipped but checking the numbers they don't line up with an rb20det ecu and the numbers on the case don't match that of the board. So here's some pictures of what I've received... I think the outside case is r32 gt-r but I don't think that has any relevance to what's in it.

With the Americans buying up all the 25+ year old skylines I can see the prices going up across the board in the near future. I want to sell my r33 that I've owned for 10 years but I think I'll regret because i won't be in the market if i want to buy one down the track.

Wtf?

Less than 10k can get you a nice car like a Mazda 6 with under 100k on the odo. Why would you spend 30 if you're looking to buy a house... might be the difference between having to pay mortgage insurance or not. And if i were buying a cheap daily I'd stick with common makes and models that are known for reliability i.e. falcon, Commodore, most Japanese cars. Why not r3X skyline they're reliable and economical if you don't modify them and can be bought for less than 10

Hey Guys, Just after a standard r33 ECU, it must be from a manual car and must be from a series 1.5 or 2. The the sticker on the ECU should be MEC-6*** it is a series 1.5 ecu MEC-7*** it is a series 2 ecu Not a MEC-5*** as this is a series one ecu and will not be suitable. If anyone could sell me one of these it would be awesome! Thanks, Brett.

Not rural, but it's Toowoomba... There are actually a fair few dyno's but most of them only cater for diesels and the ones that can tune petrol turbos usually can't do it well and don't have a good rep. I have had bad experiences trying to get a PFC tuned in Toowoomba and wasted a fair bit of money only to have a car that could barely idle. That's when I gave up on it, sold the pfc and other supporting mods. You and r31 are right, I'm just a bit lazy and didn't want to drive an hour to Brisbane to get it tuned. Toshi I found out is actually heading up to the gold coast/brissy next weekend to do tuning, might have to hit him up.

My understanding is he uses saved maps from previous similar tunes and modifications, from searching I have found other customers that have had success with toshi remapped ECU's. I barely drive the thing anymore, just looking for the cheapest/easiest way to get it tuned for more boost without hitting R&R. Had a search through many pages of threads from years ago, can't find much specific information, lost cause I guess

Hey Guys, Has anyone got any specs for the r33 hi-flow turbo slide use to do? what cartridge did he use? I think he use to call it a stage 3, rated at 250rwkw, max over size wheels for the housings. I'm trying to chase up a bit more information so Toshi on the forum can tune my standard ECU by mail to suit this turbo. Also does anyone have a dyno sheet with this turbo fitted? I searched through the archives but couldn't find to much more information, btw what happened to slide and sliding performance??? he hasn't been active since last year and his trading website is down? Thanks, Brett.
