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

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...

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
