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.

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

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
