remapping an rb25 computer is dearer than most other nissan remaps.

The only person remapping rb25det ecu's i think is Dr Drift others are adapting other ecu's to the rb25det.

Hey guys,

ive done a few mods to my 33 and want my standard comp re-map instead of buying a power fc caus they are way 2 $$$.

any ideas?? im in tassie...

thanks,

Deano

My advice would be to save your pennies for a Power FC.

A) Good investment

B) The PFC will make most of future mods

C) Get one with a hand controller

ive been told to only get a remap caus im not doing anymore mods... and to save the coin.... or any other things i can do??

Get a Nistune daughter board installed into the factory ECU. $1000 for install and dyno tune. Just as good as a Power FC - only downfall is no hand controller. MRC Dynos at Castle Hill, Sydney. Call Mark.

yes im interested in this as well, im looking at nistune, or a power fc,

i wanna get the pro's and con's of each 1.

but i can't seam to find any threads with pro's and con's in it.

i have the money for a power fc, but im so tight i just don't wanna spend it.

if i can get a nistune done for half the price.

any1 have any pointers

im in the same situations as well! im trying to call

Got my car remapped at Status Tuning (Trent)

$750 - Got 185rwkw only because my boost drops to around 8psi after 4500rpm but i'm easily in the 200's if i can keep boost a consistent 10-11psi. So i'm hunting a boost controller.

I'd HIGHLY consider getting Trent to remap your car if a remap is what you're after. He can tune anything (aftermarket ECU) but i reckon remap is a good, cheap option (especially for 34's).

Same as Dr Drift, live tuning, meaning you can get it tweaked again whenever you want.

9792 3333

i also called up Dr.Drift but they are to exspensive! over 1k PLUS TUNNING 600. might as well get a PFC . But then i called up EAS and told me to get a Wolf 3D .. they said it was incredable? So i dont know. I would prefer the PFC to be honest.. but i dont have much mods so i think im going to RemAp...

Same deal ^^

I ended up getting a nistune daughterboard + dyno tune, 169.1rwkw but i'm limited by lack of a boost controller. Will be seeing how it goes with a new fuel pump, fpr, injectors, garrett hi-flow. My tuner has said I should expect around 260-280rwkw with that combination.

toshi FTW

500 bucks gets you over 200kw at the wheels. professional real time tune. no point paying anymore than this amount for the same result that a $2000+ pfc or other ECU will do if ur only looking to run standard turbo.

nah anyone can do it, its just not worth remapping it UNLESS IT is LIVE tuneable.. i refuse to do anything that is not live tuneable. There are plenty of options and tuners who can do it.

Are you sure you heard him correctly cause i have had this done (by dr drift) and as well as ecu daughterboard and tune he had to stuff around for a while with my actuator (cut it shorter, weld a threaded rod and drill and tap the other side to make it adjustable instead of bend it like i would have lol) and he charged me around half of the $600 you saying just for the tune!!!! I'm going back tomorrow for another tune as well as new injectors and z32.

Is this in melbourne OMY-33?

no sorry gold coast mate.

EDIT: a member on here put me onto them, altho not sure wether it's an r32 ecu with the daughterboard or not, i'll call them up 2morro and let u guys know

Edited by omy-33

running a drdrift remap here 182 rwkw on 10 psi....happy with it, but she still needs a little more dyno time, that and around 10k dropped in the bay to make the whale go quick enough... :cheers:

just got off the phone 2 efi, they put and rb20 ecu in and tune it with the nistune, down fall is u lose your

variable timing adjustments,

or you can get a vg30 i think it was, where you keep every thing.

any ways rb20 is $375

plus dyno time, which is about 2-3 hours at an estimate. $175 an hour.

if you wanna go higher in kw, afm and reune evey mod pretty much.

so i might save my money and get a vg30 ecu and get it tuned.

Another downfall is idle control as the RB20 needs additional inputs from a idle switch rather than just the RB25 potentiometer, but if it's not a daily driver it's hardly a problem...

    • After 23 years of owning a Skyline, finally had the latch go.  Followed this guide,  works like a dream again. Great Guide 👍
    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄  
    • From everything I’ve heard you’ll be waiting a long time for  the parts to arrive 
    • Have you looked at the workshop manual?
    • Hmm. I've gotten pretty good outcomes from talking to them about things that I've had go wrong or ideas for improvement. Have had a lot to say about the R32 FUCAs, and they have sent out some replacement parts for those, gratis, on a couple of occasions. Mind you, I have bought a couple hundreds of $ of replacement rod ends for them too!
