One last question i promise....

About how long is the turn around time from when you guys receive my ECU?

Thanks.

Oh ok. I was hoping you were. That instantly rubbed me the wrong way. Funny now though.

We do the install the day we get it, ship it out that day if we can or the next day if we couldnt get it out same day. Shipping time is nothing we can control though. Your best bet is always to ship it out early on a monday if possible. That gives you the best chances of not having it held up over the weekend although sometimes they end up getting delivered on mondays or tuesdays. The distance playes a large role in that though.

First of all thanks for the support and the kind words. This nistune stuff has really paid off for me meeting such nice people, getting to know their rides and some people have helped me in ways I cannot help myself cheaply. I have had parts given to me for helping them, custom stuff made in people machine shops and other things. Yall truely are who is great!!!!

Anyways your now ready for the new version of nistune. The newest one isnt as proven as the one right before it. Im useing the 2nd to last release of it currently. HERE0.9.6.1b is the link to download it and HERE_ROM_Pack_2.1 is the link to download the rom pack.

Make sure you install these exactly as follows.
Uninstall the current 2.0 rom pack
Install the 2.1 rompack
Install the new version of nistune.

If you do it like that there should be no problems. There are some changes goign on with it so make sure you check out nistune.com and click on the documentation link at the top and download and read all of the updated manuals.

Thanks

so how exactly do you link aem uego to nistune, for data logging? Or does the and what kind of warranty is there on the install of the daughter boards and ecu failure due to the install.

[g2ic02]

also what types of maf sensors can be used. does it allow you to switch to a cobra maf?

[SilviaSR20DET]

In order to get the aem uego to log into nistune you must:
1)set the wideband to the correct look up table in this case "DLPADConverter"
2)under wideband type select aem uego gauge
3)select what com port it is reading from by going through control panel and then system device manager to find out where your usb/adapter is currently connected to.
4)Then you have to install tera term pro (can be dled for free and i believe if you serach under the nistune forums he provided a dl for it) and setup your com port so taht nistune can recognize the AEM.

I know its a bit confusing but these steps are what i did to get it to work.

[DALAZ_68]

the probelm with AEM Uego and linking to Nistune is with Vista PC's, they got rid of the hyperterminal, which i actually got my Uego to work at one point with Vista on nistune...i forgot how i pulle dit out of my ass though...i tried linking it this past weekend and no go...back to the ddrawing board i go

[xs240]

i wonder how it is with windows 7

I use windows xp on my computer laptop

Any ways here is the link to download the free trial program.
Free NIStune trial
Download that first and install it and then download the rom pack.
The rom pack will ask to install in the same folder as nistune and select yes.
The regestration for the trial of NIStune is as follows.
name:trial
email:trial

I hope I can be of help to you guys![/quote]

just wanted to let you know , when i try to download the trial software in says that the installation period has expired and i need to download from registered users

[4x4le]

here is the rom pack download http://www.nistune.com/secret_squirr...M_Pack_2.1.exe

and here is the nistune one
http://www.nistune.com/secret_squirr...6.1b_setup.exe
Download and install them in that order.
They took the old ones off the shelf.

follow the same instructions as quoted above

[landins13]

when i try to load the bin file for a red top sr20det with the new softeware it says nistune mfc has stopped working then the program closes

its doing this with all of the s13 sr20det bin files . am i loading it wrong or what ?

[Propaganda]

I have a question on my consult port. Instead of the B/W wire, I have a G/L wire and to the left of it I have a G/R wire. The Rx, Tx, Clk, and GND are all the same.

What does this mean and what should I do?

Just use the wires that are in the pins you need on the port. The consult cable only reads off of those anyways.

The consult port pinout I posted was for a s13 I believe so the wire coloring will be specific to that, but they are called the same thing (rx,tx,clk) no matter the color.

[Spent]

Can you please send me an address file for an s13 with sr20det, type 3 board. My laptop crashed and I lost it. I have the latest version of nistune software. My e-mail is [email protected]. That would help me tremendously.

[4x4le]

Your best bet is to download the new rom pack.

[onehundredoctane]

I've been e-mailing Pete Liebig from PLMS, great guy! I've already discussed with him what engine mods I have, etc, and when I purchase my daughter board he is going to go ahead and throw a tune on the chip that comes with it so I can at least crank my car up and get it driving! I can't wait!

[4x4le]

Its easy enough (like 2 minutes worth of work) to set up a basemap with nistune. If your from the states why not buy from the states?

That's the thing, the rom packs no longer come with address files.

i also have the AEM UEGO, and i'm running a Type 3 nistune board and i'm having a hellova time trying to figure out how to make it work... it's like calling the phone company, and having to go through all that telephony to get to a human being... with no human being at the end....

can i get a full comrehensive How To, with any available downloads, and hardware locations to make this work?

i have one USB port on my laptop, which, will make it hard to data log with the Nistune USB in it... i was trying to find a way to hardwire the AEM direcetly into the ECU/Nistune board, if possible....

Sure it does. You say you have the latest version of nistune and that takes the latest rom pack and that rom pack has the address files in it. Nistune opens them differently than before. Did you make sure and follow the instructions when downloading them and installing them? I have had some people with similar problems when they switched to the new version and I was staying on the old version since I knew I didnt have any problems, but i decided to try out the new version to see what problems they were running into. I followed the instructions exactly like listed on the site and instructions and it worked perfectly first time.

there is no way to run it right into the ecu/board

[GSXRJJordan]

For anyone else running an RB25 that wants to use Nistune, there's a whole discussion from last year on Nico about using other ECUs:

rb25 with z32 ecu: RB20 / RB25 / RB26 Forum: Nissan Forums / Infiniti Forums - NICOclub

And another link for the more "code happy" tinkerers:
Nissan ECU Tuning :: View topic - R33 rb25det ecu emulation

I went looking for early Z32 (turbo up to 94, N/a up to 93 for the 8-bit ezmode Nistune option) ECUs and wasn't finding anything for cheap... plus, when using a Z32 ECU there's repinning and splicing in resistors/splicing o2 sensor leads together/etc to get it to run right - which isn't a big deal to me at all, but why pay a premium to do more work?

VE30DE ECUs from 1992-1994 Maximas are the answer. Single o2 sensor, no fuel temp sensor to bypass, and they take the same Nistune type-2 board. Here's a list of part numbers to check, I found a few for $50 shipped on fleabay

So it looks like once funds permit, I'll be going Nistune as well.

I stand corrected lol..........

The real only reason to use a different ecu other than the stock rb ecu is if NIStune is not available for your rb ecu. Many rb's are NIStunable now.

The VE30DE most certainly did have VTC, hence it's the best drop-in solution for RB25's - it's the VG30E and VE30E (single cams) that did not. RB20 ECU would be the next-easiest, but it requires a couple of pins to be swapped and does not have VTC (and are more expensive, because people actually use RB20's).
