I did look into it and Trent @ Status said it couldn't be done, in addition to Dr Drift also stating it couldn't be done after taking a look at the N/A ECU, apparently the setup of it is different and missing a lot of components that Nistune requires to work.

But if CRD can do it (or anyone), please post here as it massively solves my problem too :P

How long ago did you speak to those tuners about the Nistune on an N/A ecu?

hmmm I also thought Nistune doesn't work for the N/A pinch.gif But CRD are a reputable shop so i guess they'll try hard to do it right! Try Powertune as well, they've done outstanding work on my mates R34 (gtr) but they know their way around and if they don't know something they'll try to get you the best solution :D

good luck!

Thanks mate, I tried calling powertune but the receptionist told me they were too busy to talk and most likely will be until next year so I'll be trying CRD and if no good comes of them I will try Powertune :)

like I said I'm definitely getting a written quote for $1500 just incase of any issues I'll be covered, I don't want that $1500 bill turning into $4000...

I think you will be hard pressed to get something like that in writing. There's so much that could go wrong, and seeing as I don't think NIStune has been done with an NA 34 ECU before, it's simply a lot of experimenting that could end up taking a lot of dyno time.

That said, $1500 is very very expensive for a NIStune tune anyway, so it seems to me that they are factoring in the time that will be taken up in playing such guessing games.

Nevermind, I called them yesterday to confirm 100% that Nistune could be done on an N/A ecu and they came back after ringing Nistune again and told me there was a miscommunication. So unfortunately still remains it can't be done on the N/A ecu..

I'm starting to think my only way out is a manual conversion now.

Try hitting up Toshi here on the forums to see if the ECU is like an R33 RB25 ECU (he is the one and only person I know of who can do remaps on the standard R33 ECU)?

Kinks, for all that money you're willing to throw around, have you considered manual driving lessons / selling your n/a and buying a turbo etc etc

Yeah, I'm a lost cause, I can actually drive a manual.. the inital idea was that a built up auto box was quicker (as in faster) and easier (as in daily driving) and was told that it would be simple and easy to get working.

The reason I didnt buy a turbo initially was that I was actually told it *was* a turbo initially. Except it was a NA+T advertised as a turbo. I would have taken it to court but:

a) I didn't know how much it cost in final monetary value to fix it to get it back to what was advertised (and I still dont)

b) The seller is now deceased

It went in as a "can this be sorted out and legal" and has turned into an epic nightmare full on build that is entirely totally f**ked. Hence my word of warning earlier - get a manual conversion or just DO NOT do this swap, there's literally no real reason to do it, just buy a turbo to begin with.

Either that, or, for those who did o this swap and it is simple and easy, if these forum regulars are willing to document the process so that well known, reputable workshops are able to replicate it I will pay you good money to do so, for everyone's sake :P

yeah I knew it was something to do with the TPS signal - tried crossing wires over once to see if I could just bypass the ECU to get the signal going straight to the ATTESSA computer, but it's a moot point now - the car will be up for sale shortly, and someone else can f**k around with it; the solution I was going to go with in the end was take Microtech out and get a Z32 ECU wired back in, but unfortunately no one in Mildura wants to or knows how to touch imports, wish you'd read my thread back in the day about it dan!

Yeah not on here as much now the R34 is gone......the Spazda is now my daily yawn mobile until my intern year is over. I've been so subdued by it's familiness that I've only just fitted a subwoofer a year on.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
