Where To Go From Stock?

For R32 and R34 I agree but for an R33 there a number of complications I believe with getting a nistune setup running well.

This.

It's too much of a 'patch-up' job for me. Some tuners are even refusing to do it now. But if you can find a tuner who recommends going the NIStune over a PFC then go for it, in the end it's the tune that matters not the ECU. If the tuner can do a better job with a NIStune or vise versa then it's better to go with what they recommend.

The nistune can be bit of a pain for the 33's and by the time you buy a z32 ecu and nistune it u are prob better off spending a lil more on a new ecu. i know the Pfc is a proven thing for the 33's but everybody wants top $$$ for them cos they are rare. i know ecu selection boils down to choice of tuners & budget obviously but why would u buy an old pfc for 1200-1400 with hand control when u can buy a new G4 link for $1600? hear nothing but great things bout the link! Thats my opinion anyway :-)
