i have seen in the past few months places that are starting to do remaps for r33 stock ecu's in the eastern states and some places selling the chip or motherboard for the computer like nistune and dr drift.i know hyperdrive can do remaps for 32's but not for 33's yet,i am considering getting a chip or buying the motherboard,just wondering if any one would tune it in perth and do a good job,i know hyperdrive are good.i am getting a new engine put in my 33 in the next few months,something thats has done 50k to 70k on it,i will be putting the tubo from my engine at the moment on my newish engine,the turbo is a highflow,rated at about 250-260kw at the wheels.i will be getting better injectors,fuel pump put on the new motor and z32 airflow meter,will be looking for a good tune for about 330hp at the wheels,my car is a auto so i dont want to push it too much,cheers.

hey man,

From what I have heard.. R33ecu's cannot be remapped.. however If you want a chipped stock ecu, what they normally do is use a RB20ecu with a chip, and program it to run an RB25... Thats going from what I have been told... I am in the market for a new ECU, and I think the best optiopn is just to get a power fc, as they are the most tuneable, and will be the best option if you are going to be modyfing the car anyways..

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers..

maka.

* We are not planning at this stage to work on the ECR33/34 RB25DET due to the fact you need to replace the CPU to install the board and it is a whole new project for us. I have investigated this but dont have the time currently to pursue this one. Note: You can use an R32 RB20 ECU (however no VCT control available) or Z32 VG30 ECU with minor wiring mods when plugged into a RB25 loom.

Using NIStune will retain auto gearchange logic, saving unneccesary pressure on drivetrain, without compromising on tune by using piggyback.

You will also retain knock maps which are a feature of the stock ecu, which Power FC does not have.

I believe a few tuners over here in the West are taking up NIStune, but I know Top Racing have for a fact.

note: VCT can still be activated by an RPM activated switch(or similar) if going the RB20 ecu route

yeah..i took am looking into another ecu...either..

power-fc with d-jetro

or a remapped r32(chipped)ecu..which would cost bout round a 1grand in-total..which is the cheaper option..

coz the guy came-up with niz-tune lives in S.A and he can chip a r32 ecu for lik $250 bucks..so send it 2 him..

then get hyperdrive to tune ur car...i think want like 600-800bucks for the tune..

so yeah..

i believe this is correct...

anymore options avail, for r33??

e-mange??

R33 ecu can be remapped. I was talking to the guy in the US that does it about bringing his product to WA.

He needs a minimum of 15 orders for me to buy them off him. I use Nistune for my tuning atm so if there is enought interest in the 33 i dont see why we couldnt bring it here.

If 15 people come to me and hand over the cash for the boards ill order them ands get the tuning software.

R33 ECUs can be remapped here in Australia

R33 Daughterboard (this is the expensive part) installed and an 8 bit emulator plugged into that. NIStune can then let you retune using this

Afterwards tuner removes the MCU from customers ECU and install 84 pin PLCC socket, burn the tune to a blank replacment $80 MCU which is programmable once (PROM chip)

You can use a SMT workstation for MCU removal or I have found Chipquick to be very effective (and low heat non damaging to components)

Makes for cost effective install if a workshop just runs with the one ECU wiith daughterboard fitted for tuning

Out of curiosity, would you say this is better/worse/same as going the rewired 300zx(or RB20) with Nistune?

Obviously running NIStune as a real time tuning would be better than going down the emulator road, but would a chipped rb25 ecu be better than a rewired 300zx ecu?

interested for sure,tell us prices please,but i am still considering going for a stand alone ecu,overboost do a good ems ecu for 2k,with install and tune.also can people recommend good forged pistons,looking at arias,eagle or tomei,hope that is right spelling.will also be putting new conrods,injectors and metal head gasket with new bearings too.

called hyperdrive yesterday, they said they dont do nistune for a r33 yet!!!!

there still in development for rb25det engines....

and u cant use a rb20det ecu,

coz the pin/harness is different...

or they just wont do it, not worth it? or maybe too expensive????

plus u lose VCT..

so yeah

any more ideas????

Actually I'm in melbourne :(

R33 EPROM Conversion Boards are now available, and will work with Nistune through external emulator (unlike usb port in factory ecu like other nistune options) or using NRE and multirom.

I know, old thread... but it seems now they can remap stock R33 Ecu!

Does anyone in Australia offer an R33 Ecu remap similar to this one?

http://www.skyline-owners-club.com/forums/...cu-upgrade.html

but a bit cheaper!

im going the rb20 ecu route for my 33, much better ecu, i got flat spots with my boost increase, now i have to run 7psi and only making 187rwkw.

purchased an r32 ecu for $50 and gettin either sam (dr drift) or jeff from the speed lab to sort out vct and tune.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
