Nistune Making My Gauges Weird

Hey everyone, since I have installed my nistune my temp guage sort of jumps from nothing up to 1/4 on the guage when it's warming up. And my front torque guage reads just above 0 on the guage cruising at 100, if I give it some throttle it will increase quite happily as the revs rise. Is this ecu right or was my old ecu right? Thanks for any info.

If your temp gauge is wired correctly the Nistune should make no difference. There are two sensors near your thermostat. There is one sender for your gauge in the dash and that is completely seperate from the ecu. The other sender goes to the ecu. I would have thought the torque gauge is also independant of the engine ecu but I don't know that for a fact. Maybe a battery or alternator problem?

Have you had a read of this thread?

Just on reputation I would go with Guilt Toy's recommendation or else EFI but ideally you would talk to some happy customers first.

If you have audible knock at 4000 I would knock the timing back a bit, really baby the car and get a tune ASAP (and expect to pay $700 to $1000 for a top notch first tune - so best you have all your stuff installed and do it once)!

Yer I read that thread, personally I don't want a rwd tune, that's where my problem came from. Im yet to enquire at godzilla. I've got my injectors waiting just need to find a spare chunk of time when mr gts4 is available to update the ecu.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
