Morning skyliners,

After some advice. I have an r32 gtr bought from Vic and looking to engineer it here in nsw.

I was asked to get an emmisions test as it is an r33 rb26.

With the nistune ecu and a 3.5in Zorst it was running 3x over the legal limit for emmisons (stock engine, factory injectors AFM 17psi boost)

I thought replacing the nistune with an r32 gtr stock ecu would run a factory tune. Emmisons was 10x over

Any one got any ideas. I am thinking put the nistune back in and get it dyno tuned back to a stock or more factory tune which will make it closer to the legal limits? Also getting a better cat.

Thanks in advance. I got a quote from a dyno tuner he said 3-4k including exhaust mods. Seems a bit exxy

you could lean on the tune a bit better and take the idle and cruise mixtures closer to 14.7...this will be easier to do with nistune and a good tuner....the stock ecu would do this on closed loop which can make it variable depending on how good your o2 sensors are.

3-4k is way over the top...... where are you located? happy to help. My tuner could re-adjust your cruise and idle mixtures on a road tune for $250.

You will need a factory cat too, I find with Nistune the closed loop is very lazy. I usually disable it completely and run it in open loop..

Easiest way to pass an emissions test, stock cat & E85

Run heat range 5 plugs and mix 5 litres of E85 with 20 litres of 98.

It will pass with flying colours.

DO NOT BOOST IT :)

you have no choice, they control your car you don't control it

I'd agree with above, just get it retuned, dial the boost way back, fix the afrs. But it is a good opportunity to do an e85 conversion.. :)

If your o2 sensors are shot, or the cat is aftermarket, or you have larger injectors, the stock ECU will be absolutely useless. Probably why you had the 10x emissions.

They don't boost it. I used the said method with a friends DE+T and it was said to be better than most econo cars with its result.

You really need a wide band to really know what's happening.

. not sure what functionality the trial version of nistune has.

Edit.

John beat me to it.

Apparently any consult cable should work,but Nistune can't guarantee it will.

    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
    • So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
    • Some sense has prevailed! What kind of idiot spends money on intake, heads, and cams for a N/A motor in 2025? Lol. What maroons. Source:I am King Maroon.
    • So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size
    • Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.
