Nistune


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have just been told that I have to take out my Microtech ecu (cops) and was looking at the nistune option. What my question is are they a good option to go for knowing that i will be checked for to see if my ecu looks stock. Is there many of them being used. my car is a r33 s2 (auto)

Mods so far are FMIC, full exhaust, splitfire coils, did have a Eboost2 boost controller but also had to be removed & a Hypergear hyflowed turbo. I am looking to get back to the power i had before when i had all my parts in. Any help with this will be very helpful :thumbsup:

they dont always check, but will still ping you for it. mate of mine got done for ECU because the cop assumed there was an aftermarket unit in there.

Put the standard ECU in, get it checked over (defect cleared?) then put the microtech back in?

Do cars in victoria regularly get checked for aftermarket management? Or is it really obvious (hand controller visible?)

Was going to say with the mods you have the nistune would probably be a better option than the microtech. Sell the microtech should cover the costs of getting the nistune installed and tuned.

Had my gtr for 7 or 8 year and have never been checked :happy:

It isnt? I thought it still was in Queensland? lol well thats a load off my mind

They are aligning with the national standard in 18 months but if you get a blue plate now and it has written there that you have an aftermarket ECU, in 18 months when they introduce the standard, you will be ok to keep it. Anyone after the standard is introduced will not be able to have an aftermarket ECU fitted.

There is currently no emmissions testing in QLD so for the time being we are safe. I got this info from DOT and the guy who writes my blue plates.

Its funny how cops can find and EPA you on a high flowed turbo, which they are just identical looks to any other stock turbos. I also had a customer who got defected in Vic over a high flowed GTiR turbo that we worked on. I really believe they have X-ray eyes or some thing to looking through metal housings for bigger wheels.

Nistune is good and cheap. You can get away from most of cops with it. But I don't think Matt have made one for R33 yet. Most people I know is running off a R32 ECU with modified loom.

Nothing available for R33 yet, as far as I was aware it is plug and play with a 20 ecu, its just that you loose the variable valve timing, but I think its only series 1 that might be plug and play as series 2 has the ignitor in the ecu where the Rb20 does not.

    • The best part of my setup is, we only have two sites. Our head office where I'd put every thing has plenty of internet capacity. We're on a 200/200 dedicated fibre. Even better, there's only like 6 people in the office at most, and the other office has 2 people in it (likely 3 soon). The majority of our work is in a custom piece of software, as it is part of the backend of the system we provide to customers. For our arrangement, on prem would be wayyyyy easier, and a VPN tunnel site to site is easy for me to manage. Scaled at many many sites, or quite a few hundred employees it's starts getting a bit different for all people outside the head office. However, everything in the cloud becomes worse for the people who operated previously at the site that held the servers, as now they're at the mercy of their internet, and not GBPS internal network (f**k the idiots who hook a desktop PC up on WiFi or permanently sit at a desk using a laptop and don't go remotely with it).   It really does come down to the business needs and structure as to what is best. For us, 365 is mainly being moved to for office apps, moving email from Google to Exchange, and setting up "Active directory". Otherwise we have a ticketing system with support that runs on our own cloud system, or the sales process sits in a CRM we pay for. My biggest push back for having most of the shit turned off and saying no when people want new shiney things is "that won't meet our security requirements, or efficiency gains, so all you're requesting is money spend to open us up to security issues, or to make our staff less efficient" Which is funny when one of our core values is "To do more, with less"
    • Think of it as a fancy iFrame with the auth passed through to PowerBI as you're already authenticated logged into Teams   I'm the complete opposite, I hate everything on Prem, it's slow as shit, you need VPNs to get anything happening, then when you want on-prem DBs to talk to say PowerBI you need to install/setup data gateways to essentially VPN back into your SQL instance. I suppose from my perspective, on-prem sucks, but from an infrastructure perspective, your environment is somewhat air gapped to the web via your firewall(s), etc.   The curse of knowledge, the more you know the more you suffer. Farken philosophical shit.

    • Wherever you ask them to. I had one added to the crossover pipe near the BOV as well as the hot and cold sides of the intercooler piping to provide greatest flexibility in measuring temperatures post-turbo. I have the IAT installed in one, and bungs in the other two.
