Wolf3d V4 Or Nistune? R32 With 25det

I already have a wolf3d V4 in my r32 with a 25det + gcg highflow. Now what is going to be easier to tune and give the better tune overall?

I realise buying a 20det ecu and nistune plus starting the tune from scratch is probably going to creep towards $1000 but I can get at least $500 for the wolf ecu. If I stick with the wolf ecu I will only need 2-3 hours dyno time ($300 ish) to get the tune tidied up (already has been tuned for 220kw run in tune) but it is not going to be as fuel efficient or idle as well, the reason being the stock ecu has fully sequential injection where as the wolf has to run batch mode (fires 2 injectors at once).

What would you guys do for a car in the 240-260kw range that is daily driven? Not to mention I have to go through regency (defect inspection) in the near future so I will need a stock ecu, the 20det ecu with a nistune will help me out here.

well if you have to go through the defect inspection thing, then id say the nistune, i have one in mine, loving it.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, the wolf doesn't offer me any features that make the lack of sequential injection worth it and the fact it is defectable.

You might be better of running a z32 ecu plus nistune so you can take advantage of vvt.

My only gripe with the nistune is that you have no knock lite.

Yeah a knock light is a cool feature. You know whats even cooler?? Auto retard when knock is detected i'd think id rather save my engine than blow it up and know the knock count.

Hmm I've dropped the car off at boostworx. Maybe I will go pick it up (they haven't done anything yet) and do some more research and be 100% about what I should be tuning it with and who I should get to do it.

Really is a headf**k finding a good tuner and knowing what ECU to use. Really is hard to sort the good tuners from the bad tuners. Everyone has a different story about what ECU to use as well, like I'm talking 100% completely opposite opinions from well respected people.

Being as I have to go through regency and need the stock ECU I think the nistune really can't be that bad an option to go with though.

uhh i dont remember saying i would rather a knocklite INSTEAD of nistune pulling a bit of timing out, Jus saying it's a handy thing to have diagnosing a problem that you dont know exists is kinda hard.

      Left & Right Window Regulators for 2013 Skyline V36 Coupe

      Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?

      Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.

      Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
