tekazgtr1984 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 So I got an email back from NIStune. Because our ecu is ODB-II, they said they don't have a board for it. But they are coming out with a new board soon that might work. Damn. But, they also said that if I could re-pin a Z31 ECU to work, that I could go that route. This would mean I would have to switch to a 5 speed for ease of it. Change the MAF to the Z31 unit (might be better, might not), and possibly change the gauge cluster. Then send them my old ecu to get the base map loaded onto the nistune board. Seems like a lot of work to do an ECU tune. But i wanted to do this anyway...If only i could win the lotto... Jose Doesn't seem worth it, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

180sx Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 haha, he's talking about the topic title. Its spelled wrong, unless it was intentional. And Ty, it may not seem worth it now, but later down the line it will probably help a lot. But that's way down the line. I'm just going to wait for their type 4 board to handle OBD-II (they say they need to add more memory to the board and are trying to figure out how for a reasonable price).

Jose Well, once that comes to fruition I'd say it'd be pretty reasonable. Until then, not so sure... I really want to see what this JET V-Force Plus module can do...

Jose then you'll have to stand on one leg on pole over a pit full of aligators while reciting the alphabet backwards in Hungarian and calculating pi to zero... Trying to find stuff for the R50 is a pain in the arse! Why must all the hoops be on fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Because the only mods that ever came for the R50 were of the JDM type, and 95% of those mods are for the turbo diesel anyway... Sadly, the North American R50 got overlooked. Luckily, with the amount of R50 owners on here, it's helping to create some ample exposure to aftermarket ideas, i.e. subframe drops, custom armour, etc. Performance stuffies for the VG33E are still hard to find, though. This V-Force Plus module seems to have some potential so it's really a matter of one person getting their feet wet to see how it works for our vehicles specifically. I'm about 75% convinced it could be a worthy add-on and permitting certain things go according to plan, I may buy a kit before the end of this month. I'll keep you all posted on that.

pathyboy12 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 i ordered mine along with my suspension on the 12th so when it gets here ill let you all know how it works.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathyboy12 Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 i installed the v-force yesterday and drove around today. there is a little gain that i noticed, it gets up and moves a little quicker and has some added power. the downside is if it gets unpluged the truck dies and the cord that attaches to the programer is some what cheap and comes out real easy, soooooo..... i still dont know if it was a good idea or not.......

tekazgtr1984 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Post some pics. It'll definitely help us brainstorm what kind of options we have in order to secure it properly and conveniently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
