Hi Toshi,

Since the Brisbane trip is a bit complicated with needing to do cars during the work week and you needing to fly up here. What other options do we have? ie. retune by mail?

I need some sort of retune as my car pings if I apply throttle hard between 3500 and 4500 rpm.

Running 10 psi, full exhaust, R34 intercooler, filter and walbro pump.

I will send remap ECU to you.

You go to dyno and check AFR and ping.

Please send dyno sheet (I need AFR and rpm sheet)over the e-mail.

If not good I will send you another chip.

How many people did you fined?

Toshi

hi Toshi,

I have a 1997 series 2 r33 auto GTS-T with

FMIC,

split dump /front pipe,

full 3 " exhaust,

pod filter in CAI box,

turbo tech boost controller (10PSI),

wasnt going to do much more with the car as far as mods go..

I live in Perth was looking at a safc2 ....

was wondering if you can remap for my set up and how do we go about it...oh and how much :-)

regards Rob

Hey Toshi,

I have a Stagea 260RS, which I am led to believe has a R33 GTR ECU with R34 wiring loom. I cracked open the ECU the other day and discovered that it has no daughterboard connector :/

I am in Brissy, is there way you could do your mod and then I could take the car to someone in Brissy to get it tuned? Do you know of any workshops who have the necessary emulators? I already have Nistune on my laptop (I had a Nistune daughterboard in my last car...man I wish I could have one in this car).

Cheers,

Simon

Hi BoostedBarge

Did you check conector?

I think 260RS same all GTR conector.

So you are able to use R32 ECU.

Yeah that's another option. I need to double-check on the wiring loom. I may be getting confused with the standard Stageas. It seems kind of crazy using a ECU that's nearly 10 years older than my car, but then I guess they use the same algorithms and have 16x16 maps, so what's there to gain?

Does the R34 GT-R ECU has a daughterboard connector like the R34 GT-T?

Edit: I'm sure there are quite a few differences between R33 and R32 ECUs. For a start, I just remembered that the R32 uses Titania O2 sensors, where as the R33 uses Zirconia (I just replaced them), so that would cause problems. Would probably have to replace the sensors.

260RS is same R33 GTR conector.

So you are able to use R32 ECU.(power FC is same R32 and R33. also some people use R32 ECU for R33 in Japan)

This is cheaper way.(R33 is 16 bit and R32 is 8bit)

daughterboard is expencive so I recommend power FC.

GTR power fc is not expencive.

If boosted up only(or little over 400hp), R32 ECU and power fc is same power.

If you will change big turbo I recommend power fc.

Cool. Thanks for your advice Toshi. I've played with Nissan ECUs a bit myself over the years, so I know how capable they are. :action-smiley-069: Ideally, I'd like to keep it, but it looks like it will not be economical to do so. Oh well..

I heard somewhere that you socketed daughterboard for the R33 can be connected to EPROM emulators and is supported by Nistune. Is this true? If this also works with the GTR ECU and I can find someone in Brisbane with EPROM emulators, then it may be an option. Otherwise...aftermarket it is

Yes,I am remaping R33 ECU by NISTUNE softwear.

But its only RB25DET.(R33 GTR custermmer is not many.So I do not have GTR spare ECU and daughterboard)

If you want to remap yourself , you need daughterboard.

Cost$ 650-750 include data for daughterboard.

So power FC is better.(second hand power FC is same price)

Thanks Toshi. I'm guessing the daughterboard is not a real-time programmable one like Nistune's, so once you add the cost of emulators (or finding someone with emulators), you're right, it's not a very economic option. It's a shame, I'd like to keep the factory ECU for the nice idle, cold start, knock control features and stealth factor :O. I believe the factory ECU is capable of supporting the sort of power I require. Oh well...

just completed my remap with toshi.

r33 gtst w/ turbo, injectors, plenum, exhaust, afm, pod, fmic etc

results are unreal, i am absolutely stoked. well worth the money.

will post up dyno graph when i get a run soon.

thanks toshi!

Hey Simon

Yeah the problem with those ECUs is the MCU has to be replaced with a daughterboard which solders into where the MCU lives and then they intercept the logic with Programmable Logic Chips (MCU gets plugged in these boards). Currently those boards are fairly expensive. The boards seem to go for about $500-$700AUD but I dont know if that includes fitting.

I've got on my list to get those ones done and that will surely drive the price down... but thats a couple of projects down on my list at the moment due to the complexity and time involved

Fitted a few myself... you can then plug a Moates emulator into it and then tune using your exisitng license through that. Which is what Toshi is doing with Nistune (and then burning to blank H8 MCUs afterwards). Sam (dr_drift) knows where to get them if you are interested in getting one fitted (and confirm it is compatible with your ECU)

Burning H8s is definately the economical solution for most people compared to daughterboard but depends if you like tweaking the tune...

Thank you gt-ahhh!

His turbo is KKR430.

This is laggy turbo.

Now almost same response as std R33 turbo.

RB engines very important ignition timing for response and power.

I adjust AFR 11.5 his car for safe.(his car is street car)

Because AFR come up winter night.

If his car fitted bigger turbo I will adjust AFR 11(or under 11) for safe.

HKS 0-400M (quater mile) racer adjust AFR 10.8.

Cool, thanks for your reply Matt (sorry for the delay, I've been away with work). I'm now treading the line between plug-in aftermarket vs modded standard ECU. I guess it will be some time before I decide anyway (gotta convince the missus). I have some pics of this ECU. I will post them on Nistune for you.

Hey guys what a great service just wondering if you know anyone in Melbourne that does this sort of thing?

Cheers

Please PM if you know of any

Chris

Ah im happy to see there are a lot more happy customers with toshi!!

Toshi - i sold my car btw :)

perhaps if i buy another import, i will be coming to you again!! :D

Many people see your thread and they ask me about remap.

I very much appreciate it.

Thank you siddr20.

I hope you have a safe trip.

Toshi

I have asked the mods to move my thread to force induction section..

Anyways heres the link for those who are still interesting this remap: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/To...st-t211348.html

can you do 300zx as well?

I am able to remap.

If its later model I have to get daughter board.

Hey Toshi,

Do you remember what power you made with the KKR430, I was thinkin bout puttin a KKR480, what do you reccommend for me to do to increase the response?

Cheers

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
