Nistune In Perth

[3LGODZILA]

which workshop can i talk to about nistune boards? or someone here may be able to answer a few questions.

ive got an rb25, if ive read correctly ill need a 300zx ECU to keep the vvt or cam advance wateva its called. should i buy this seperatly then go to the workshop or how should i go about purchasing?

will i lose my tune if i disconnect battery or unplug the ECU?

can it be done to an rb25 including dyno/street tuning for under $1000 ?

Using a 300ZX ECU on RB25 = WTF....where did you read that?

ECU Resets to factory settings when the battery is left disconnected (or ECU unplugged) for a length of time (exactly how long, I dont know, never re-tuned, so never noticed a difference)

[Ehgriez]

Yes for the 33 you run either a Z32 ecu or an Rb20 ecu but you lose the VVT with the RB20 one

It's a bit of a crappy compromise I guess for the 33 owners.

Just noticed this:

"We are thinknig about doing a board for R33 RB25DE/RB25DET but it involves a fair amount of work, and the parts to interface with the existing 84 pin MCU on this ECU. It is a very difficult board to get started on and requires whole new firmware code to be implemented, whilst supporting customers with our existing product line. I will start drafting schematics once Type 5 has been finished and we have got the knock sensing functionality working.

If you are looking for something to get these going then we suggest either using a HCR32 Skyline or Z32 300ZX ECU with a Type 2 board. See our FAQ topics for more information regarding these ECUs.

Your other option, if you really want to use the R33 ECU is to use an emulator with an expensive third party daughter board (pictured above) available from Sam at www.drdrift.com.au "

+1 for hyperdrive.

pretty sure they were the first in perth to deal with nistunes.

[bubba]

Hyperdrive did my remap before there was Nistune, highly recommend them

[Douse]

Allstar did mine and I was very happy with it.

Not sure about 33's though...

[Ehgriez]

Hyperdrive have a different tuner now Bubba, I've heard good and bad, *shrugs*

WTF? 300zx Ecu on a rb25??

Yes you just need to do some changes to the pins, get an aftermarket daughter board and emulator.

Andy does the tuning now.

Only bad thing that you may have heard is that he does safe tunes.. would you rather your engine pop? theres plenty of other places in perth that can do that for u.

[Ehgriez]

like I said, good and bad. I'm not gonna speculate over a public forum and I haven't personally had any tuning done by him so it's not my place to do so.

[datsit]

If you want a Nistune for an R33 using Z32 ECUs PM me and I can pass on details of a guy that does them often.

+1 for andrew at hyperdrive... did mine and although the gains aint exactly what i am aiming for (no supporting mods) but I was happy with it...

Andrew is who tuned my 30, top bloke and my engine hasn't melted

[Ehgriez]

Oh really?

I heard that Andrew only stepped into tuning when the ownership changed? My mistake.

[bubba]

He probably did but that was quite some time ago. I think it's been over 2 years since he tuned my 30.

Edit: sorry, make that 18months, dyno sheet says november 2007

Andrew does safe tunes, but you can specify how hard you want him to push it. He does do a good job..

Hi Gang

What about the "Apexi Power FC" unit??? Doesnt this override the R33 motherboard, allowing the Speed limiter to be taken off and also allowing higher performance tuning.

Admitted, it is more expensive than NISTUNE but for all the 33 owners who want serios performance an play power this might be the way to go.

I dunno, this is what I have heard and have been kind of looking into for my R33
