And no, you cannot cut up a plastic AFM (ie, Z32) and weld it to metal. Shit you’re right, they’re not even expensive $253 brand new genuine. Can it actually be done in practice or is it just a theory. I mean with the wiring and all, do you know how to do it?

Also have u got the wide band, intake temp sensor, pigtail etc? and how many days will it all take you reckon? maybe we can work something out where I can leave my car with you and u can install everything like turbo, walbro, injectors etc. I still need to v band the dump pipe and get pipe made or the turbo elbow part and a turbo intake pipe made Well this has escalated quickly lol. While yes I could install all those parts, it would be much quicker to have a workshop do it. If you had the car ready to go, I'd have it road tuned in a day no problem. With the wideband and air temp sensor, they'd be permanently installed in the car and need to be there before it's tuned.

Yeh I’ll probably do that all myself , a workshop would charge thousands for that, I thought maybe u can do mates rates. but that honestly sounds good, have u got the wideband and air temp sensor? how long are u gonna be in Sydney for?

IM-32-FK Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Guys I said f**k it and bought a nistune for $350. The guy I bought it off didn’t have a case for it, I was wondering if any non neo ecu case eg 33 ecu will house the neo motherboard and nistune chip nice and snug. I only ask cause neo ecu‘a usually go for $150+ and r33 ecus are only $50. also unrelated question: is the oil pan bolt meant to have a rubber washer on it? Cause mine just have a metal washer ‘welded’ on the bolt. And I only ask cause my oil pan seems to have oil residue all over it.

joshuaho96 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 If it's the same as the RB26 the copper washer is going to be stuck to the bolt pretty well, you want to use a knife or a something to pry it out before replacing it. You're supposed to orient the washer as seen in this diagram for a 370Z: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/482115-best-aftermarket-ecu-for-rb25det/page/3/#findComment-7949714 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can drill new holes for the mounting points but is the loom plug opening smaller or bigger than the neo? Cause either way I can grind it to be bigger and it doesn’t matter if the 33 ecu opening is bigger, if it leaves a gap that’s not a problem Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/482115-best-aftermarket-ecu-for-rb25det/page/3/#findComment-7949725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSBoy Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 If you're going to that much effort (ie, buying an R33 ECU just for a case that you then have to modify), either just fold your own up out of 1.2mm sheet steel/ally or put it in a plastic kitchen storage box.

You're supposed to orient the washer as seen in this diagram for a 370Z: Actually the standard OEM sump washer is not a copper washer but an aluminium single use crush washer, that's why it goes one way. Large side goes towards the sump. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/482115-best-aftermarket-ecu-for-rb25det/page/3/#findComment-7949743 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m to do that, is it okay for the bolt and nut to be in contact with the ecu? I just don’t want it surging or shorting out. I was thinking u can get those raised plastic cylinder things to act as a spacer between the ecu and the nut and bolt Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/482115-best-aftermarket-ecu-for-rb25det/page/3/#findComment-7949771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSBoy Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Just look inside the ECU you have (in the car already, not the bare one) to see how it's done.

samw/skyline Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 sorry to reopen this, but I can't believe this guy didn't just go with the haltech and tune for 1500. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/482115-best-aftermarket-ecu-for-rb25det/page/3/#findComment-7986895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
