Hey guys, I'm spoken to a mechanic about the apexi pfc and niztune and he think niztune is better bang for your buck, these are a piggy back ecu right? And is anyone running one on there skyline or r34?

I run a Power FC in my R34 it is a stand alone ECU, The Nistune is a modification made to your stock ECU.

The Nistune retains all of the Factory safety features and is tuneable that is why most Mechanics that know what it is recommend it for basic modded cars.

EFI can supply and tune Nistune for about what a Power FC will cost.

Oh cool, and iv had a look on there website and niztune have 3 options basic just includes the ecu and the 3rd has the harness and cd stuff, can you get away with buying the basic ecu? Or do you need to buy the $600 kit?

Talk to Sean @ EFI, they supply and Tune it and really know their stuff. Your going to get out of it cheaper buying a bundle from a reputable shop that also tune it than buying an ECU and finding someone to tune it.

Sean should already have the software and wires and what not so you shouldn't need to grab them. He also does a lot of nistining so he would get a better corporate deal than what you would paying retail. Best advice is to give him a bell and see what he has to offer.

Hey mate, i had a nistune ECU on my last GTR (an R32 though), had been tuned by Trent at Chequered tuning, for its basic mods it was fantastic (had -7's, 3 & 1/2 kakimoto de cat exhaust, cam gears, boost controller) was 296awkw and had no issues with knock etc. I never had an issue with it..... untill my car got nicked, but thats a story for another day. im looking at getting a new one on my current GTR if thats anything.

    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
    • You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though. 
    • Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?
    • It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!
    • As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
