Z32 Afm Not Working With Rb20 Nistune

[R TUNE]

Hi guys,

I first had running issues which i was told was the AFM had thrown in the towl. So i was able to get a Z32 AFM from a mate and said put that in.

when my tunner went to get the AFM working (using my licence account as he cant get his to work?????) he could not get the car to fire up, he said he tryed a few diffrent confiqerations, and even tryed a modded map for the z32 that he made as he says he has had heaps of issues with Z32 and nistune computers.

He also told before starting the z32 swap (and after loosing my tomie plug) he had the car running fine with the stock AFM, it just needed a good clean WTF.

He is strongly advising me to go and get a power FC (which i can get for $800) and even recons i will make up to 40rwkw more with the power FC then the nisute.

Somthing tell me he doesnt know nistunes quite well and is trying to rip me off, he says he has been in contact with nistune but they havnt been of any help to him.

For now i have said no tune (said he will have to tune it agan as just changing AFM on nistune does not work) and put stock AFM on Saving me $750

Any body have any input.

BTW Car is a 89 R32 with RB20 manual

mods, RB25 turbo @ 14psi, cam gears, walbro fuel pump 3" cat back, 3" dump, ADJ cam gears.

I currently run a R32 ECU + Nistune & Z32 AFM and we had no problems setting it up.

Also there is NO WAY in hell you can make an extra 40kw just by changing the computer from nistune to power FC.

I would be finding another tuner to be honest.

He obviously does not understand Nistune very well.

EDIT: Also just make sure the Z32 AFM is a real one not a copy.

But I am guessing its real because your friend has been using it?

Ideally you would have contacted your tuner way in advance of buying an ECU to find out what they're comfortable with. Sounds like this tuner doesn't know anything about Nistune and even if he got a tune working it'll most likely be crap. In Nistune it's a simple matter of finding the AFM resizing section, accessing the dropdown box and selecting Z32.. if he can't do that then...

2 options.

- Change tuner

- Sell Nistune and buy PFC.

Your tuner is an idiot, no offence.

If you can tune one GUI operated ECU, you can tune other ones. I've jumped from PowerFC to a Wolf and manage to street tune both.

he sounds like a bit of a tool. if he can get a PFC to make 40kw more than a nistune then he's a very poor tuner. tuned the same, you should see pretty much no difference in power between different aftermarket ecus.

as i said in your other thread, why did you use the z32 ecu? you can put a nistune in an r32 ecu (lists it on the nistune website). also if you or your tuner haven't swapped around the appropriate wires then you won't get teh ecu to work properly. the z32 ecu has a different pinout to the r32, not to mention that it also is designed for the VCT that the z32 has (which is why it is used in r33's instead of an r32 ecu, as r33's also have VCT, but the r32 doesn't). if your tuner has been using z32 ecus in r32s then that may be part of the reason why he's been seeing power differences to other ecus.

Shit didn't notice it was the same bloke

Yeah man what the hell are you using a Z32 in a car that has a nistunable ecu from factory?

Crazy go see another tuner for sure

Where are you located we can help recommend some

Not just as simple as that. Then u have to tune and adjust k constant to get it perfect. Most times just selecting the correct afm the car will hardly run

Whoops didn't relies I had two posts. The nisyune ecu is a r32 nisyune ecu it a z32 afm I'm using and I'm in Darwin. I did speak to him first and he said he was happy to tune nistune.
