I was at chasers the other day getting my brakes done and quized there tuner Paul about Nistune and if they were going to do them he informed me they had started to do them. Quote for a S2 stagea auto drive in/out including supply,install and tune will be around $750 mine will be booked in very shortly and i will supply b4 and afters to let you know how it goes. Contact glenn at chasers for all enquiries (03) 9687 7118

what does the the nistune chip do ?

like a piggy back comp ?

the nistune chip sits in the stock ecu (so totally invisible) and can control afrs, timing, change rev limit and more importantly remove 180km speed limit. Sadly they are not available for S1 Stageas.

Awesome! I'm really keen to see some before and after figures on the NIStune. I wouldn't mind getting this installed as soon as i can. Also be interesting for traveling sakes how much different the car will be on fuel before and after. Do you have any other mods on the Stagea to go with this?? :P

Just got my nistune on my s2 rs auto stagea redone yesterday. Had some misfiring issues due to plugs but now its bloody amazing!!!!!!!!!

Before my tune with stock turbo and safc neo( which is now for sale :P )i managed 185rwkw at 12psi with all usual mods and stock afm, injectors. Now with hypergear turbo and nistune i'm pushing 230 rwkw at 16 psi!!!

The nistune transformed the engine completely. No where near as laggy, cold starts are perfect and changes on the stock auto are really snappy at the top end with no flaring. Funny thing is before the nistune my auto would flare for a second before changing to second, now it just clicks in really quick!! Hope that lasts!

On an rs rwd stagea this setup is so much fun! I'm getting to the limit of my rear tyre traction, and best of all i'm managing 450km + to a tank enen with a heavy foot and city driving!

Go the nistune definately, had mine done at status tuning by trent and he is fantastic!!

Nice! i get more pumped to get one installed every time someone talks about them!! :P

I had my car dyno'd when i put a boost controller in pulled 178 rwkw on 12psi dropped to 8 psi @6000rpm, since then i have installed full 3" turbo back exhaust and an adjustable cam gear, car came with hks intercooler and pod. All my driving is on highway get about 520 kms per tank but never run it empty so maybe 550-600 out of a tank. will post up results of new tune as soon i have it installed prob july/august

WOW - didn't know Chaser's do Nistune...another option for me, Although Trent at Status Tuning is the highly recommended, it's simply too difficult to get over the other side of the city to get it done (at my work, I can't take time off because we're short staffed).

2 of my friends got their cars tuned up at Chaser's and spoke very highly of them

sorry guys slightly off topic, but a bit interested if you have got a std turbo andy(i guess it is at 178rwkw on 12), have you any other mods eg safc etc to improve fuel use or a block behind the fun pedal because all stagea owners would cut off a nut for those figures :banana:

That figure was on the Chasers dyno in rear drive only (fronts pulled out) and as the car came from japan. Stock turbo (as far as i know) stock dump pipe and hks silent power cat back,hks intercooler and hard pipes and hks pod and turbotech bleed valve set to 12psi as stated. As for ecu i have always assumed it was standard it however may not be but never looked to see i guess i'll find out when the nistune goes in. There was nothing on the auction sheet to indicate modified or changed ECU or turbo and no sign of any aftermarket electronics (safc/sitc). I found the dyno sheet i over quoted a bit real figure is 175.6 RWKW unfortunately i could not get a print out of AFR's

Would this be a better option than jaycar AFR & boost controller with hand controller, which I was thinkin of doing. It's a bit more expensive but if the outcome if much better.......?

Any ideas on who I can talk to about getting this done in Brizzy?

EFI Performance. They are at Yatala or Nerang

I might be going down this track. Approx $300 plus tune $500.

Opposed to the Vipec for $2600 installed and tuned

Nistune will be better than just getting the Jaycar DFA but you will still need a boost controller and the Jaycar is great value if you can build it or find one already built).

...

Lose the stock dump for something (anything?) else, and fit a decent cat. turbine noise is a bit louder, but best estimates put those 2 parts fitted to my car alone at being worth ~5awkW (with a stock cat-back).

Otherwise, stop talking about how good the Nistune is - us S1 owners get all upset about it...

:P

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
