I'm also interested in this.

I might even get a copy of the nistune software and have a look at what features the nistune gives the R34 ECU that are tunable.

oh, and I'm a tuner mate - and I only deal with good shit. Sick of tuners only pushing haltech or some crap because that is all they know. I've seen fools cut a Ford XR6T factory ECU out and "wire in" a haltech because they had no idea how to edit a factory ECU, and we all know the XR6T ECU is by far the best ECU for it.

Its what is the most functional for the user \ car owner.

AFAIK you can't NIStune a 33 or 34 GTR ECU.

Type 2 boards cover the following earlier consult vehicles:

M30 Infiniti (VG30DE)

ECR32 Skyline (RB25DE)

ECR33 Skyline (RB25DET)*1

HCR32 Skyline (RB20DET)

BNR32 Skyline (RB26DETT)*2*3

Q45 Infiniti (VH45DE)*4

U12 Bluebird (KA24E)

Y60 Patrol (TB42E)

Z32 Fairlady 300ZX (VG30DETT)

*1 ECR33 RB25DET Skyline can use HCR32DET ECU (no VCT) or Z32 VG30DETT ECU (internal modifications required)

*2 BNCR33 Skyline requires BNR32 RB26DETT ECU and O2 sensors

*3 BNCR34 Skyline requires BNR32 RB26DETT ECU, O2 sensors and CAS wiring modifications

*4 Q45 VH45DE (1990-1992) using removed high gear maps

So everything a 32R NIStune can do.

hhhmm.

I wonder if they are much different software wise, other than the R34 ECU being modified to take to the newer o2 sensors and the CAS wiring.

I definitely wouldn't want to hack up a R34 GTR wiring loom, so I would buy a second hand R32 GTR ecu and internally mod it for the CAS. Its not hard, I made a R32 GTR powerFC work fine in a R32 GTS-T.

You do have to run the r32 GTR ecu but it seems that it plugs straight in and the only mods being the CAS and o2 sensors.

The pins in the 34 cas plug only need swapping around to make it run with the 32 ecu.

As for the o2 sensors, read the attached. Im assuming the 33 o2 sensors would be the same as the 34's.

R32 GTR ECU on R33 GTR.pdf

NIStuning a 33GTR is the same as 34GTR except 34GTR needs the CAS wiring changes.

As for the MFD, I guess it would be a matter of figuring out what signals it needs from the ECU and ensuring it continued to get those signals (pinout for each ECU and one for the MFD and some head/nut scratching) at the correct voltages etc.

If plugging in a BNR32 ECU into a BNR34 do we just need to swap over the 1 degree and 60 degree CAS wires to use this particular ECU? Is that all is required in addition to internally modifying the ECU. If so this is good and I just need to update my documentation to suit for people that want to use Nistune on a BNR34

When I meant about Nissan swapping the CAS lines over between models for example S15 ADM and S15 JDM have their CAS wires swapped over on the same two pins. This may be because of having NATS in ADM model

Hmm interesting..

I was just working off your documentation Matt, I haven't done a 34GTR yet.

Pretty much all the NIStune installs I have done are Type-4 boards in either 34GTT's or s2 Stageas.

Type-2 board is in my 32gtst's ECU and I will be kicking that in the guts next week.

  • 2 years later...

So are there any firm instructions on how to get the BNR32 ECU to work in a BNR34? Ie, all wiring mods needed?

I have one here ready to be nistuned but don't know for sure what needs to be done. I have only seen instructions for the BNR33.

  • 6 months later...
okay, all done. I have a nistuned R32GTR ECU running my R34 GTR. I have spoken to Matt from Nistune for some help and regarding what was needed to be done. The car runs absolutely perfect with the R32 GTR ECU.


Compared to the powerfc:


- Starts faster

- comes to idle so much quicker

- idle is heaps more stable

- car just generally runs better


After tuning the rest of the map, it runs really well.


Regarding how I did it, It is a little more than just swapping cas wires -


Differences between wiring:


Pin 8 - Ignition switch (IGN) (R34) / Pin 45 - Not used (R34)

=> Wire pin 8 to Pin 45 (R32 ECU)


Pin 10/20 - Not used (R34)

=> Pin normally for Ignition GND (R32 ECU)

Wire 10/20 to pin 50/60 to provide the R32 ECU with an ignition ground reference. After this R32 ECU will work fine in R34 ECU after speaking to Jono today and getting it working


Pin 31 - Not used (R34)

=> Wire needed to be added for consult CLK signal (R32 ECU)


Pin 41 - Camshaft position 1 deg POS (R34) / Pin 51 not used (R34)

=> Swap to 42/52 on CAS 1 deg POS (R32 ECU)


Pin 42/52 - Camshaft position 120 deg REF (R34)

=> Swap to 41/51 on CAS 120 deg REF (R32 ECU)


Pin 54 - IMMU/NATS (R34) - Don't worry about this

=> Not used (R32 ECU)


Pin 115. Heated O2 sensor control signal

=> This pin not used (R32 ECU) so wire to be connected to pin 50 (control unit ground) on R32 ECU

    • Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.  
    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
