What are your thoughts on using nistune with a calumsult rt ecu? And I would just have to buy the softwear correct?

[4x4le]

my thoughts are if you already have that board and wany better software to tune with then that is the way to go. if you are dont have a board yet you would be best off with a nistune one because the software and hardware were made for each other. It was found out after the fact that the software works with calium rt and i have never personally tuned one of those setups. people do have good success with that combo though

Is there any reasonably priced way to compensate gear ratios for the speedo? obd1 S14.

This is the wire that is soldered in as my jumper for the cj1/cj2 switch on my type 3 board. I couldnt see where any wire or solder is crossing with anything it shouldnt be but do you think this could be my problem with my not being able to connect my laptop to the consult port?

I think I have heard of people playing with resistors, and maybe even people building a setup with a "pot" that allows for corrections. I think there may even be pre built "pots" for this type of application. Then you would need to gps your car to calibrate it.

The only other options I would know about that would be really easy would be an aftermarket speedometer.

That does not look especially clean, and if the rest of the solder joints look like that if could be some trouble if the ecu will not run your car either. When we do an install it looks like it came on there from the factory that way. You would never know what all we changed unless you compared it to a stock ecu.

Now, if you cannot connect consult to the ecu at all, the jumper should not be the problem but I guess it still could. I would try to connect to consult with a friends car (95 or older) to see if it is a computer issue or ecu issue. That way you know which one you need to focus on.

[xX5Tb0nE7Xx]

I can drive my car with this, just cannot connect, if it turns out that it is my ecu how much would it cost if I sent it to you to make it right?

[4x4le]

Did this today with my sr20det.



9:1 cp pistons
eagle rods
stock head and cams with greddy ras
greddy im
n15 tb
jgy fuel rail
msd 72lb injectors
dual 255lph walbros
nismo fpr at 4bar
gt2871r .86 @24psi
jgy light flywheel
e85 only
and NISTUNE
Tuned by yours truely

I really wanted to spend more time but I drove the car to the dyno and I didnt bring any extra fuel. I know there is allot of room for improvement down low but I just didnt have enough fuel to make it back if I stayed on the dyno any longer.
Im impressed. I havent seen such numbers on a sr with that turbo.

Sometimes the consult protocal goes out in ecus. A bad ecu can be many different things ranging from 1 injector not working, sometimes consult dont work and many of those people dont even notice, sometimes the car will not run period.

If you send us the ecu we can diagnosis is as either being an ecu problem or not after we un install the board and re install it and re program it just to make sure all of that is ok. We also will install a proper jumper. The cost will be $50. I really dont like discussing money on this thread though guys. This is just for nistune conversation so if anyone wants to know a price sales(at)autovaughnperformance.com is where you need to ask. My job is tuning and software support. I have nothing to do with shipping or ordering or sales.

[revcyanide]

hey, i was looking into getting nistune, i am just a little confused as to which board works on, if any the, the sohc KA24e. from what i have been looking at i think its the type one board right? i just cant find a definitive answer anywhere :]


what all would i need to buy also?
thanks a lot

[4x4le]

you would need a type 1 board, an install and a single license..

which of the downloads do i need if im running a type 1 board...? mines be a bit old

[4x4le]

Just download the latest version. Thats what im on with no trouble.

hey hows it going i just bought nistune from you guys and i cannot for the life of me get the consult cable to connect with my computer. its and rb20det in an s13 type 2 board hcr32 ecu 11U00 MT. i wired the consult plug directly to the harness off the ecu everything is in the right spot and the car starts up perfect every time i just cant get the consult cable to connect to my computer am i missing something important here? i had nistune setup on my KA-T in the same chassis and it worked great this one is just being an ass to me. any help would be AWESOME its waiting on a tune.

[4x4le]

Are you using the same laptop and cable? 99% of the time deleting the driver specified that is being used for the cable on your com port menu in the control panel and doing a fresh install as per the instructions will take care of the issues. You can see if you can connect to a friends consult port in their car too. Other rarer instances is faulty wiring and bad consult proticals in the ecu. If we did the install we tested your consult to be working.

[RunninMeBrokeS13]

i tried it on 2 different computers both of which have had the drivers reinstalled properly i triple checked my consult wire up today and everything is spot on where it should be. how can i check to see if the cable itself is bad? or if you can tell be what kind of voltage should be seen on RX TX and CLK.

[4x4le]

I would contact plms and see if there is any kind of stuff to check for. Pete might have a procedure to trouble shoot the cable.

Is this the plms cable and did you get that from us as well?

[calisfinest240]

Ok so I'm a little confused on how the nistune is going to work on an rb. I have an r34 rb25det neo. It's currently running with a 92 maxima ecu that's been socketed and chipped by e-mance and dude totally bailed and it doesn't run right. So can I send that ecu and get the nistune type 2 board like other people have said. Or what would I have to do to get nistune. I'd rather stay away from the z32 ecu due to repinning and what not. Thanks.

[4x4le]

I would need to know the ecu part number to be sure of which board you would need. I dont know if there are any limitations with using one with that engine either. I know that the factory r34 neo ecu takes the type 4 board and works well.

I have a 2nd gen Rb25det. Im interested in the nistune setup but been having trouble finding a z32 ecu. My question is i know that some q45s and m30s run the vg30de engine . Would this ecu be an otion for my engine or do i have to get a z32 ecu. What else would i need to have besides this ecu...

Make sure the debugging is on and try to connect again then send the log file to Matt @ nistune.

[RunninMeBrokeS13]

what is the debugging and where do i find that? i havent heard of that. and yes i got the plms cable from you guys aswell. it was the full board 2 package.

EDIT: just found it under configuration so i check that box and just try to connect? if it connects am i good to go? if not who is Matt and how can i contact him?

The part number is A18-A47E99. As far as limitations, what kind of limitations could arise with the tuning abilities? Do you mean fuel, timing, or something major?

Matt is the developer of Nistune. He knows his shit and has always been very helpful.

I didnt know the q45 ever cam with a vg....
I have further information below the next quote.

I would consider fuel and timing pretty important.

What I was talking about though is sometimes o2,temp and other sensors are not compatible. Sometimes certain ecus have trouble running tachs/speedos. These things can add up. Since you brought up using the ecu, you may know more about this than I do as your probably a member of a forum more dedicated to your engine possibly. Im more into using the correct ecu for the right motor with the exceptions to the ones I know are tried and true such as the s13 ka ecu on s14's and the z32 ecu on rb25's. We also have the correct firmware we can load on the z32 ecu to make it run just like a stock rb25 would from the factory. The z32 ecu can also be modified by us internally so that there is no need in you having to change the pinout.

I just dont want to lead anyone blindly to go grab any ecu I can put a board in and say it will run with no issues, because that most likely isnt the case. Ebay is full of ecus usually. Just make sure you pay with paypal and make sure they have good feedback in case they send you a smoked ecu.

car-part.com is also great for finding junk yards with ecus willing to ship.

as far as the part number goes, Im sure Andy (my business partner, and who does all of the inital programming and installs) would be able to find out if we have a board for that ecu based off of that number you provided, but I need something more to the effect of 23710-53XX which would be for a s13 ka. If that number is the correct one (which is seems to be more of a binfile type of format) then it is not showing up on my lookup table provided to my by Matt.

[calisfinest240]

Ok that sounds good since you guys are able to repin a z32 ecu I have one aswell. It's a 1990 automatic n/a ecu part number A18-A25 M62 would I be able to use that with a type two board?

[4x4le]

Im 99% sure that ecu will be fine. There is no reason that any of the 90 ecus would not be do able and we have had no trouble with any of them.

Im going to have Matt at Nistune update my spread sheet with the A1x-xxx-xxx part numbers as well as Im not seeing that on my list either. All of my part numbers I have to go by is 23710-xxxx, and I know I could use the JWT lookup table but I tend to want to rely on something provided by my supplier instead.

[4x4le]

Ok, I did a little research and just for future reference the number A18-A25 M62 you gave me is the manufacturer of the ecus part number while the nissan part number is 23710-30p16, which is a type 2 board.
