There are a few posts around now on the Nistune. Also see the ordering page on the Nistune site for prices here. You want the Type 4 board; cost on that page when I last checked was $260AU plus $50 fitting? Something like that don't quote me. You send them your ECU and they fit the daughterboard, load your existing tune onto it, and send it back. You plug it back in and there's no change until tuned at a workshop which can tune the Nistunes (quite a few now, also check their "Workshops" page).

hmmm, will look into a nisstune - anyone know the rough cost +install?

also been looking at bikirom too, anyone know anybody running one? they have a daughterboard setup for er34's (same neo motor)

without a doubt go for Nistune, the support and experience of people using Nistune is only getting bigger and better. Bikirom, I can only think of one person (on these forums) running one. I haven't seen it in action, is it the Hex code style remap, or do they have a good user interface like Nistune does? Anyway, the biggest turn off of all these other Nissan rom tuners is they lack support.

You have to check the prices but I just got a Nistune chip, installation and also got a single software license so I can tune myself, for around $450 IIRC. the software was just over $100.

yeah i know a lot of ppl are running nissutne but the guy who makes biki is near where i am and a guy i know from a different forum swears my them, he has got an er34 ecu running a vg30 in a pulsar and he is always talking about how good they are

Finally fixed the 4wd and managed a high boost run

Figures are using a Dynapack so the figures are at the HUBS - 503 bhp with 440ftlbs toruque

Ive done one on a rolling road that came out at 606 at the wheels but thats not as accurate as the hubs figure

Best bit is that its got max tourque at about 4500 rpm and it does not tail off much till over 6000 rpm

Or about 377 awkw - very impressive indeed. Are you anywhere near a drag stip? Should be capabable of a really good time with the right tyres!

Unfortunately no and to be honest thats not what the car was built for but ..................

it would be rude not find them out even if its only once . :P

Tyres will have to be as fitted which are goodyear F1s 245 - 40 -18

I am shortly getting an Iphone and theres an app that can work out 0-60 times etc using the GPS . A few of the guys have tried it in the UK and it is supposed to be quite accurate. this will have to do untill I can find an airfield or similar.

I also beleive go with bellmouth, the split dumps do leak, even the trusted brand name ones, ive tried both world and found bellmouth is a way better road to go down :P

there is what is supposed to be and what happens on the dyno.

my experience was bellmouth = a whisker more power (back to back testing against a "quality name brand split dump)

either will do a better job than the standard one so you can't lose whichever way you go.

I also believe go with split dump, the bell mouths do leak, even the trusted brand name ones, I've tried both and found split dumps a way better road to go down :(

others have dyno'd both back to back and found bellmouth to have slightly more power.

but different dyno different test conditions show split to be more power. so, ie , whatever floats your boat, buy it and be happy with it :huh:

Make sure, if you get a split dump, that the wastegate doesn't hit the flange and only open partially. Thats the reason I asked for a bellmouth.

bingo !

same

oh, plus half the price.

Getting there slowly. Now at 245rwkw. had hoped for more since it was on a 2wd dyno but I am assured that this one reads lower than the 4wd one I was on last time. Will know for sure on Monday as i have a track day at Hampton Downs circuit.

Changes since the last time - now with cooling pro stealth front mount, R33 GTR manual box and chopped the middle muffler out of the exhaust ....otherwise mods as per my sig below. Tuner doesn't quite have the hang of adjusting the IEBC yet but I am getting another boost solenoid and will try to be there for the next tune. post-49463-1259858865_thumb.jpg

Well after the sh1t-tacular results of sticking the C34 on the dyno I thought we might like to make a thread to post stagea dyno results in. ( or lack of results in my case !)

Any suggestions/comments are welcome ( positive of course ! )

issue being fixed on 6th january - adding stainless lowmount manifold, 4-pot brakes, engine oil cooler kit, wideband afr meter & oil pressure guage

expecting to see 250rwkw now Ive sorted out the rpm cut as seen on 7th stage

Power and fuel consumption fixed at the same time :)

EDIT: just read that is on your to do list already... but being SAU I can't delete my own post!

You lost power in the last one, what was changed there?

I always thought dyno shootouts were done in 4th?

not for auto's

generally 2nd, or 3rd with the brown fuse near headlight pulled (stays stuck in 3rd that way)

last dyno of mine shows the rev cut I get with hi-boost mode. lo-boost mode it revs thru to 7200rpm again.... so will update with another tune early next yr

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
