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.

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...

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
