Type 6 boards are out for R33 ECUs, far better than using a modified Z32 ECU

http://forum.nistune.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2708

Nistunes are NOT rubbish, I've tuned 3x S15s with them and I have no issue with them. The software is decent too, and has the ability to overlay AFR vs. load points on the trace windows (which I find very handy).

Currently using Adaptronic too, decent ECU however the software is not as refined as others but once you get your head around it it's ok.

Are the type6 boards actually available? There was a bit of fanfare but I haven't seen anything since.

What's wrong with nistune z32 modded ecu's for r33's?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think you only get partial knock detection, and an issue with the TPS which results in hesitation/poor driveability. Some people experience it, some don't.

I've got a Nistune in mine, and for the price, can't really complain. Had an issue recently where one of the tracks on the circuit board (not sure if Nistune or Mainboard) burnt through, and needed to be sent back for diagnostic and repair. Only cost like $80 for the fix including postage.

My main gripe is poor driveability on tip-in and closed throttle. Can drive around it, but means I need to ride the clutch a lot at low speeds. But, I'm told this is tune related rather than Nistune. Going for turbo upgrade soon so will see if re-tune fixes it. Also asked if ECU upgrade would be worth it and was told that Nistune would be fine.

In conclusion I guess, I'm not complaining with Nistune for the money. But if I were to start again, I would strongly consider getting something like the Adaptronic straight up.

Yeah after the feedback from you guys and doing some reseach about it, I think i might just save up a few pennys and buy a Power FC.

Thanks again everyone!

Just an update for what it's worth. After retune driveability issues are all gone. Cold start is great, and the issue I was having at part throttle has been tuned out. No limitations on Nistune there.

    • @GTSBoy Yeah i know. The RB20 has 180Nm torque and the gearbox "should" take up to 400Nm if you are not doing stuff like drag/drift or dumping clutch and of course then it is pure "luck" on how will it last. My problem is (i think i said this in different post) that my car was very badly maintain so i would not be suprised if the oil in the gearbox was not changed until i bought it. Yeah the gearbox seem little bit sad.   @Sxnjeet the +T seem very interesting but from where iam from it was nearly "impossible" to done right and not blow twice as money as just swap for the RB25.
    • Hi, I went to the MINES shop here and bought something.. Niikura-San just happened to be there so I managed to take some pics and got him to sign my dash surround thingy. Its still wrapped in plastic back home.. I was thinking how to preserve the signature??? Im sure someones thought of this and done this in the past.
    • Perfect - thanks Joshuaho96!  Will see what I can source.
    • If the plastic wore, the paint will wear quicker. Heck, most car manufacturers cant keep the coatings they put on their buttons/trims alive these days for more than 5 years... A cheap paint won't do it!   However, you can get away with high quality vynil wrap, primarily in areas that won't cop much abuse. Skip colour matching, and just try and wrap a specific area with an edge in a new colour.   PS vynil wrapping is a prick of a job, and I suck at it, even for a small dead flat surface...
    • I think this is more a question you should ask the tuner. My assumption is you have nothing plugged into the original pin for ring gear crankshaft, which is where your map sensor should get wired to, but now you've asked the tuner to disable it. I'm assuming (because I haven't memorised your setup) you are using RB25 ECU on the RB20 loom, to plug into an RB25. You will want to check what else is connected potentially backwards between the engine, loom, and ECU. You might be all fine and safe. The best solution you could have done is wire in a map sensor, and leave the ECU able to read a map sensor.
