Out with the factory ECU and now powered by FCTuningNistune ECU Solutions. As the value of these slowly increase going against the norm and whipping out looms for expensive aftermarket systems simply isn’t a choice for many owners now, especially if things are already in pretty good shape.

Sometimes simplicity is best, as they say, especially when only a dose more power is needed to spice things up on a spirited summer day.

Modest power for what is now a modest classic

Enjoy!

Never rule out the factory ECU if your just after a good tune without all the bells and whistles of additional Motorsport features.

The OEM ECU is an excellent cost effective way forward enabling the factory RB26DETT engine to be tuned. Some issues with the OEM coilpacks were experiences during tuning when running 1.4bar. So boost from the GT turbos was simply reduced to 1bar and 494hp. Wiring issues on the ignition coil loom has since been addressed and all that is needed now is to crank the boost up at a later date and get a true output as to what the 24 year old year old engine will do when we get it back on the Dyno for som final weeks.

]]> Like most, this Perfect example of a Nissan Skyline R32 GTR was back at the FCTuning for more modifications fuel wise, in the form of an additional intank Aeromotive Pump and a Bosch 044 inline to compliment this, and just to add to the flavour and a set of ID1000s were fitted to a top feed GReddy fuel rail with twin entry.

I think this is (or was at the time) the first Nistuned R32 in the UK running ID1000s that Ive had the pleasure of setting up and it was clear after the tune that at even with a modest 3.5bar pressure maximum injector duty cyles were at comfortable 58% duty. So pleeeeeenty of headroom for more boost with larger turbines.

Rock solid idle, excellent cold start and all on the factory OEM ECU complimented by Nistune Developments

As the engine is stock and I decided that 1.6bar peak was enough boost from the GT2510s, and the RB26DETT saw some great power delievery and spool up. The response on the road is amazing.

Peak torque is nice and early and there is a massive spread of torque right through the rev range. This is probably one of THE BEST R32’s Ive ever driven (not just saying that because I tuned it) it but it really does drive well, no rattles, solid and smooth and really responsive. It was great that the owner let me take the car for 2-3days. just meant that I could give it that bit more TLC and appreciate the performance. I even enjoyed giving it a thorough clean 🙂

Suspension and drive is wonderful and the modest sound from the exhaust system means you can actually talk to your passenger even if driving on a day to day basis

A real pleasure to drive and it just wants to Boost. when it does it just pull and pulls given enough road.

Enjoy it mate and lets get it on Track and really exploit it!

Who say age matters.. It just shows whats possible and you dont always need to spend £1000s on aftermarket management systems and additional sensors etc.

All on the Stock RB Engine too with a propa HKS Turbine at boost, after a session addressing issues with fuel flow and supply it was back on the dyno for final tuning with this lovely stock RB26

Great engine, great owner (and the previous owner before that too) thats now respect the power even more so after throwing a little more love at the car including the full tune and setup.. No doubt this will be back for even more boost (around 1.8-2bar in future). Its just a matter a little machining and forging the bottom end for that added reliability to match the mild cylinder head work and perhaps looking at gearbox solutions. As this is one GTR that deserves to be tracked hard.

Not a daily driver… there’s something about the old skool R32’s I just love.

]]> A very powerful road going R32 GTR sporting yet another FCTuningNistune ECU Solution.. will more R32 GTR owners follow suit? A pleasure to tune but this will be back with 1000cc injectors so the full power can be released. This had to be detuned due to high injector duty cycles at top end. So Ive remapped this nice example it should be easily knocking on the door of 600hp.. which in my opinion is excellent performance and value for money from the Nissan Factory ECU.

Another FC Tuning ECU Solution doing the business.. ill wait to hear form the owner shortly and Im sure he will post his feedback soon on how the tuning path has gone so far.

Enjoy!
