Sure, Andy does installs all the time and that would be a simple install fee from us.

I personally dont do the soldering and chipping, just the tuning and tech support on the program, however my question to you is why? They are the same ecu arnt they?

+1, aren't they kinda the same? like S13 SR ECU's? even if they're auto/manual...

also, if you don't mind me asking sidewayZ, how much did you pay for that ECU?

Well i was told they are the same ECU but i know the black WC is a newer model zenki SR whereas the red WC is the later one which came with my SR. I feel more comfortable having the ECU that came with the clip chipped rather than a different one.

If i were to send out the daughter board and the ECU that came with my SR you would be able to solder in the 20+20 way header for me? Also would you be able to flash it to the specs i have no so i can at least drive it around? Or would it be possible to not even have the chip installed in the ECU so it still acts like a stock ECU and when I'm ready to get it tuned just pop that bad boy in?

Sorry if I'm not making sense. Would you be able to PM me with the price! Thanks a million!

Nope, i don't mind at all. I paid $350 for this ECU.

i paid $433 shipped express direct from PLMS... you know that board that you want swapped into your ECU? they're like $150ish from PLMS...

if you paid that much for the ECU you should just use that one...

landins13 · 10-10-2009, 11:27 AM

i just wanna throw in some positive feedback, i love my nistune, its wonderful. when they say its hondata for nissan they are 100% right except i find it to be a lot easier to work with than any of my friends hondata systems

To be honest i want to use the ECU that came with the clip.

it says is expired, can you provide an updated login so we can check it out for the week

thx

4bangers · 10-23-2009, 11:39 AM

so I'm reading up on this thread as I need a system that I can tune my s14. Basically, I have a s14 SR engine zenki with WC ecu, z32 MAF, and everything else is stock engine.

What do I need to buy for the nistune set up?

If I want to send in my ECU for nistun to mount a new board on the ECU, where do I send it to?

Is there a US headquarter of nistune that I can call and buy stuffs rather than having to contact Australia?

Thanks

Have you had it installed before? It only works 1 time meaning once you open and close the program it stops working. It is fully functional within the program being opened under the trial however.

Is there any way you can try it on a different computer? This method of opening the trial version is still the correct one.

I dont use this thread for my sales, but since you did ask if there is any shops in the states the answer is yes. I am actually the US distributer for NIStune, we have the best prices in the states and we do our installs in house.....

As far as what board you need can you give me the part number on your ecu? It would be either a type 3 or type 4. I believe the s14 had 2 different types of ecus out if Im not mistaken. I personally dont do the board programming or installs so Im not the best person to ask but Andy (co owner with me) does that stuff. I mostly offer the online and phone support for the software itself and I do the tuning for the cars we have come through.

What you will need is the correct type board for your ecu, the software license, a consult cable, and installation. Check out our site for some details on package deals. AutoVaughnPerformance.com

xX5Tb0nE7Xx · 04-16-2010, 06:47 PM

I have recently installed NIStune on my 240 with redtop sr swap but I cannot connect with the consult port. I checked all the connections and they are getting power, Ive tried it on different base images, the drivers are installed correctly I have no idea why it isnt connecting.

Any ideas? Thanx

4x4le · 04-17-2010, 08:20 AM

are you able to connect to the ecu but not the board? If so it sounds as if the jumper was not moved. Who did the install?

I really need more info. What cable are you using? Your consult port has to be properly wired in too. You say all of the connections have power, but not ALL of them are supposed to have power.

Please be very specific and I can help.

xX5Tb0nE7Xx · 04-17-2010, 11:38 AM

I had my friends dad do the board install. Its a type 3 board with PLMS consult cable. I dont think I am connecting to ecu at all.
He tried moving the jumper but it was lost somehow so he soldered in a wire to cj2. could this be the problem?
Also I only get power to all wires when key is on and the consult cable is plugged in.

Thanx for the help

ESone3 · 04-18-2010, 12:23 AM

Have you had any issues with stalling? Either on idle or coming down off load?

Darksun280 · 04-18-2010, 05:59 PM

I just got there type 3 board package. Great customer service. Went out of his way to get my board back to me quickly as well. Wish I was close enough to them to get a tune

Hashiriya415 · 04-18-2010, 07:37 PM

I have a enthalpy tuned ECU and consult cable from BLAZT, can I just buy this software and tune my ECU.
And what is this BS about user license and stuff LOL. I can only tune 3 different ECU's
What's the price of the software?

It could be an install problem, or a jumper problem. It could also be a driver problem. Did you make sure to not plug the cable in before installing the driver? That messes things up bad and a piece of paper comes with the cable telling you not to do so and has installation instructions.
Another possibility is you need to tell nistune which com port your using your cable on, or you need to have auto detect selected.

Short answer is no. Your ecu is not real time tunable and would need to have either a NIStune board or calium rt board on it. I dont know what kind of daughter board enthaply uses or if it is encrypted but if its a standard board you could buy emmulators and a chip burner (better off just getting a rt board) and possibly tune that way.

How the license works:
You can tune 5 different ecus and up to 3 different address files. So for instance you could do 2 s13 sr's, 1 ca18det, 1 sohc ka24, and a vq30dett and that would max out your license. Or you could do 5 vq30dett's and that would max out your license. See what I mean? Chances are your not going to go over your usage and if you legitamatly do they will work with you (NIStune) or you are making money off your tunes and you can afford to upgrade to the tuner version which is unlimited.

I put a z32 MAF in while getting nistune installed and it doesnt run at all. it tries to but cant keep the revs up and i am throwing a MAF code. i double checked all the wires they seem correct Im thinking of putting my old MAF back in and trying that.

And 4x4le I did the driver installation as the paper said it seems to work i will try selecting auto detect and try it again.

I also do remember before I did all this when the engined warmed up it would stall either with the clutch in or while in neutral once in a while if that helps with anything.

have you adjusted for the bigger maf readings?

ESone3 · 04-19-2010, 08:28 PM

^^ I did, :P

xX5Tb0nE7Xx · 04-19-2010, 09:36 PM

I couldnt adjust because I never got nistune to connect with my ecu, but i did throw my old one back on an it got me to work and back that way and ran fine so Ill play with it more tomorrow when theres daylight.

jspeedm · 04-19-2010, 11:37 PM

this may be a dumb question, but can Nistune compensate spedometer reading for different gear ratios(5th gear change, j30 rear end)?

Mister.E · 04-20-2010, 12:25 AM

with nistune can you get rid of your MAF and convert over to MAP?

Each software expires after 90 days and you have to download a new one then. Usually it is just small bug fixes for newer ecus they made avabiable anyways. I always wait until I am prompted to update.

dont auto detect the usb during the driver installation. Search which com port your plugging the usb in and then tell nistune that is the com port your using.

ohh awesome so next time i try an open it itll ask to update and ill be ready to go...sweet...

4x4le · 04-20-2010, 09:12 AM

and just so you know, its not going to lock you out the first few times. It will remind you, but you can hit ok and still tune away. I think it will let you do that like 5 times or so before not allowing you.

This is mostly for people that illegally download it, and for people that share their registrations with everyone. You will get caught and your software will no longer work. Even the person that paid for it and gave it to everyone and their brother.

*DALAZ_68* · 04-20-2010, 09:20 AM

no worries...i just havent had time ot use it...so technically theres like 3 or so updates ive missed out on, are the updates going ot dowload in one time, or each on its own?

4x4le · 04-20-2010, 09:24 AM

you can select any of them that are newer than the one your currently using. I always just grab the newest one.

I havent noticed any bugs in the past year or so. It was different though when this was brand new.
