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.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
