people will be running all sorts of ecus. most people will have pfc's but more and more people are going to nistune. there'd be a few microtech's, etc as well. doesn't really matter whether the car is a series 1 or a series 2.

as for the tune, they will all be different as they really need to be done specifically for each different car to be any good.

I'm running PFC and couldn't be happier, but it really just comes down to the tuner. Ask a local trusted workshop what they recommend and they will steer you towards what they are best at tuning, and what they have seen the best results with. A tuner with complete knowledge of Link ECU's will not tell you to get a PFC, one who's tuned hundreds of Microtechs will not want to "try their hand" at Nistune. A good tune is a good tune, regardless of which product they use to achieve it.

i had this problem. Bought a bog stock R33 series 1 which was flat as above 3500rpm. And i mean really flat. (it did have a cat back exhaust but wateva)

Put on turbo back exhaust, FMIC, pod, new plugs n splitfires. Still EXACTLY the same power.

I was getting worried that there might have been injector trouble or something cos it sucked so hard. I think my stock R33 N/A would have been going harder, honestly.

Got an ecu tune by toshi (is on the forums here). Pulls like a f*kn freight train now right thru to redline. and i mean real hard making the most of 12psi with a AFR of 12.

It was all just that shitty standard ecu. From my homework it seems that series 1's suffer alot more from this.

Im also preferable to tuning/chipping the standard ecu as you arent putting in a stand-alone ecu with all the installation and tuning associated.

This way it also looks completely bog standard as the chip goes in the existing ecu box. Cops and/or insurance companies cant tell youve had a tune done.

    • Cheers fellas, I got a price for a r33 gtst box was 1500 including post and thought it was too cheap  
    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
