Im ready to get my car tuned, found 4B Action at cardiff nsw who are a nistune agent. Quoted $1100 for them to send ecu to nistune to fit daughter board, and full tune. Is this reasonable? Anyone dealt with them?

I need a bigger fuel pump and injectors. What fuel pump do i need to fit to a s2 neo stagea , where to buy it and how much should i pay?

Ill probably go with seimens 650 cc injectors.

Advice please guys.

I have the same car, fitted with nistune.

I recently put the walbro gss342 in mine, fitted straight in. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=180533428704

They are tricky boards to fit, i had mine done locally but it needs to be done by an expert with the right gear.

A cheaper option may be to send your ecu directly to matt had get him to fit it for you, and then get them to tune it.

That listing doesnt cover the type 4 board, which the OP has. Matt will fit and supply the board. Board is 260, fitting is 60

**EDIT**

Type 4 board, same seller/tuner http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISTUNE-TYPE-3-4-IN...=item2c56c7df1c

$1100 is what a lot of tuners charge. there are some cheaper though. it really comes down to how much you trust the local guy. if you trust him to do a good job then it is worth paying the extra money to get it done locally, that way if something goes wrong you can take it back there easily to get it sorted.

I sold my 300zx to a guy in the hunter, 4B is almost the only one listed in newcastle for tuning the Nistune. I gave the guy their contact details, they tuned his car and he was very happy with it.

By all accounts he was pretty thorough, but i have had no first hand experience with them.

$1100 is about the norm but I'd be making sure you get a Single User license for the Nistune software with that...

Board - ~$260

Fitting - $beer (I have a mate that does the soldering for me)

Single user license - $200

Tuning - $400-500 (~4hrs on dyno @ 100-120/hr)

Total - ~$1000

OR

Buy the board yourself direct from NIStune, find someone to fit it, then just pay the tuners tuning costs.

so it seems fair, the shop is only 2 minutes away so that makes everything simple. when i get the board fitted to my ecu can i drive the car to the shop with bigger injectors and a z32 afm? what impedence injectors do i need?

No, the k multiplier will need to be changed for injectors and the AFM. the standard injectors are standard resistance, the seimens are fine, no resistor needed.

If you have a User license for the software you can go in and use the inbuilt tool to change AFM and injector size, this should get you close enough to drive it to the workshop (just don't boost it up).

you can ask matt from nistune, or whoever is doing your board, to have the board ready for z32 afm, and whatever size injectors you're putting in. then the car will start and run to get you to the dyno.

exactly. you can have them set up the ecu so that you can put the afm and injectors in while the board is being done, then when you get the ecu back, just plug it in and it will drive fine.

I still wouldn't load it right up until it's been tuned though. The inbuilt tool for changing the afm and injectors comes close but odds are things still need to be massaged to be running spot on.

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
