Rubbish, who told you that?

^This!!!!

Who told you that?  Or, more to the point, did you misunderstand what they told you?  The ECU does not have a HP limit.  The AFM does, and any AFM you upgrade to will also have a max amount of air (and therefore power) that it can handle.  Fuel injectors ditto.  Turbo ditto, fuel pump ditto, intercooler ditto (although a bit more blurry, not so much of a hard limit), etc etc.

Askd few times as i suspected he meant the z32 afm but he said the software and z32 hence why i am asking

 

anyway, how are you finding nistune? Would you have invested in link g4?

 

it has quite few features but not sure if i would ever use it

 

does nistune provide an option of protecting engine from blowing up by reducing boost or limit rev if hot?

 

i think something like link does

Software + Z32 = Z32.

But no-one in their right mind would use a Z32 AFM these days.  That's so f**ken' 2010.  R35 GTR type blade AFMs are 10x better.

Nistune is great.  The engine protections available are limited to what is present in the factory ECU, so, no, none of the more esoteric things you can do with aftermarket ECUs are possible.  But then it's horses for courses isn't it?  If it's a street car, then you don't really need that stuff.  If it's a hack drifter (and let's face it, all drift cars are hacks) then there's no sheep stations at risk and you also don't need it.  If you're racing for serious, then you should probably be using an aftermarket ECU anyway, even if the Nistune would be perfectly capable of running the engine to the same output.

i won't comment on Link ECUs as a choice.  If I was paying for an ECU, I think I'd pay proper money and buy a proper ECU.

You guys in AU are lucky with so many skylines

 

i didn’t know there is even an option of fitting r35 afm, will look it up

Buy a HPX sensor, install it on the side, post IC

Nistune does some "basic" engine protection such as retard timing on knock and setting a rev limiter when your water temp exceeds whatever temperature.

There's a new release for boost duty cycle based on flex percentage.
