Nistune tells me that they now make a board for the "half" sized boards "Type 5" is suitable. ECU 23710-71B00 CG13DE.

 

[CMF_woohoomobile]

got one, works great

 

[CMF_Tinky]

Did you send your ECU away or DIY ? How much ?

 

[CMF_royale]

Yep,will be looking at this also, let us know what the sitch is woohoo.

Cheers.

I'd contact http://www.m1tuning.com.au
Ben has help many a time with a lot of my projects over the last 5years

Nistune can install the board in you ECU,

Many of the tuners that work with Nistune, are more than competent to install the board too.

I personally use http://4bfabrications.com.au/ for my tuning etc.

Matt at nistune is great to deal with, and the minor teething problems expected with a prototype (my install) were fixed ASAP.

For the money, you cant go wrong, i don't care how cheap megasqirts or whatever are. Just PM Dens to see the work he had to put in to get his aftermarket ECU to work.

the hardest thing i had to do was find the screws to put the lower dash back in.

How much did he cost you if you dont mind?

ECU, install and tuning by 4b?

I'm in melb too, will most likely look them up since they have experience with the k11.

 

[CMF_woohoomobile]

In my case, Nistune wanted to install the board and do some tests,

I put a fresh set of plugs in 1st.

But 4B can do the install and tune for $1k.

and while you are there they can build pretty much anything you need for the car.

im exited to get mine re tuned after all the inlet and plenum get changed. and a decent tank of fuel this time too!

When I got my s13 one done it was $300 to send my ecu to PLMS and they sent it back with a nistune board and base tune.
Cant beat nistune for value!

 

[CMF_Tinky]

Thanks woohoo, royale, onshoeon,tyrie . Will order one! Do I need to buy the software? or will the tuner have that? $260+post(board) vs $440+post(board + s/ware).

 

[CMF_woohoomobile]

unless you already have an interest in tuning, you dont buy a software licence. the tuner has all the needs.

 

[CMF_Tinky]

Thanks woohoo ordered board from Matt.

 

[CMF_cookiesmicra]

Let me know how it goes. Iv been looking at these also

 

[CMF_frank2]

My nistune has saved me a lot of grief, i,m still running on the fusion motorsport basemap too

 

[CMF_royale]

I know where my money is going next pay! LX/SLX the exact same ECU? If so I'll just send my spare in for install. Still need one car to get around.

 

[CMF_Tinky]

Payed $308.76 for type 5 board with a $2 sticker,post & Paypal fees. Royale I think lx/slx same I have slx. Cookie will let you know it goes.

 

[CMF_cookiesmicra]

Any idea who your going to get to tune it tinky. How long till you have it?

 

[CMF_Tinky]

I'll try M1tuning or EFI Performance as suggested by Nistune website. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday

 

[CMF_cookiesmicra]

Awesome. I was looking into it but was a little unsure. Its should be good as your pretty much done the same engine mods as i have so ill know what is going on

 

[CMF_Tyrie]

It was a couple of years ago when I did it, but at the time you could download a 1 use version of the software for free off their website. Then if you wanted to tune again just delete it and download it again

 

[CMF_Tinky]

Board just arrived @ 11.00 QLD time. Only ordered Wednesday night. Great service Matt & Aust. Post.

 

[CMF_woohoomobile]

Yeah Matt is pretty good,

 

[CMF_royale]

Very good, the only shop I've enquired via email that actually respond.

I've gotta pull out my spare ECU tonight and send him the serial number. Hopefully get it shipped off to him this week to have the board installed.
