hey guys just about to purchase a nistune ecu and am going to use an r32 ecu with the board replacement from nistune

to run in my r33 gts t series1

only thing is r32 ecu does not have vct what can i do about this and how does it work out nistune said something bout a vct controller

some help would be much appreciated

It's been covered in a few threads now...

You can use a z32 ecu with the nistune board. Or use an rpm window switch. I use an MSD window switch. All you have to do is run a positive from the ignition, then a switched negative to activate the VCT soliniod. I switch the VCT on at 1300rpm then off at 4600rpm.

Others have used aux output from a turbosmart ebc, jcar kit (I don't think it would work well though) or shift light circut.

My VCT solinioid draws 1.3amps.

You can run the rb25 without using the VCT... it's just not ideal, but you wont hurt anything.

If you use an rpm window switch, you don't have to do anything manualy??? It's not a hassle or very hard... if you can wire a relay you can wire in the window switch.

VCT- Variable cam timing = Oil pressure is sent up the inlet camshaft to the vct cam gear and changes the intake cam timing.

The MSD switch is rated at 2amps (i'll have to check that) and my solinoid draws no more than 1.3amps. I didn't use a relay.

The best way to 'understand' the vct set up on a 25 head is to use the search function...

someone please help me out should i go nistune ? i already bought a 32 ecu .

and z 32 afm .

what is the go with vct i dont understand?

Sell the R32 ecu and buy a Z32 one (probably cheaper than getting a seperate switch).

Then nistune that.

Google "how does variable cam timing work" for a wealth of info

sell r32 and buy Z32.

Same type 2 board, Use a 41P01 ecu as it seems to work real well.

Heres a base map i uploaded

Is this how to setup the VCT...with VTC Solenoid RPM Recover ~1050rpm, and VTC Solenoid RPM cut ~4500rpm... ?

Mine was setup very differently with RPM Recover at 6100rpm and RPM Cut at 4500rpm. Strange....is mine setup wrong? I will give this a seat of the pants trial.

Edited by simpletool

i looked into this, IMO its easiest to do the internal rewire of the Z32 board and use it with the existing loom.

the new nistune z32s have the re wiring done already, dont need to change anything

You can't put a normal adjustable cam gear onto a RB25 inlet cam, they are a special cam with a single bolt running into them to hold the VCT in place. You can however buy a special Greddy cam gear (I think it was Greddy, can't remember now) that makes it semi adjustable.

As has been discussed in plenty of threads. Losing VCT is stupid for a street car, it is a damn good thing. You should do whatever it takes to get it back.

Adjustable cam gear on inlet side has been tried and found to be a waste of time. You can put one on the exhaust side .. It is not hard to enable vct and more than worth the effort.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
