NOTE: Q45 (VH45DE) Work with NIStune but require an emulator. ROM image too big
for Type 2 board
NIStune uses a daughter board as an alternative to an emulator or EPROM chip for real-time tuning using a modified version of Nissan Consult. It provides faster transfer rates, realtime modification of maps, constants and tables using the NIStune software.
Current price is $400AUD for board and NIStune Software (Individual Users License) and documentation set. Additionally, shipping and transaction fees may apply.
Provided with CPU connector, 28 pin socket and instructions
Note: Nissan Consult connector to be purchased separately. You can get these in
serial ($100AUD) and USB versions ($95AUD) from www.plmsdevelopments.com
and purchased through us.

NIStune Type 5 Board (Coming soon)
Type 5 boards will cover the following later consult
vehicles:
S14 Silvia (SR20DE) Half size ECU
B13 Sentra (GA16DE) Half size ECU
K11 Micra (CG10) Half size ECU
This is our current work in progress. Prototype board has been built and modifying current programmer to get the base image in there. Once I have more news it will be posted here, but hopefully get it working soon!
NIStune Type
6 Board (TBD)
We are thinknig about doing a board for R33 RB25DE/RB25DET but it involves a fair amount of work, and the parts to interface with the existing 84 pin MCU on this ECU. It is a very difficult board to get started on and requires whole new firmware code to be implemented, whilst supporting customers with our existing product line. I will start drafting schematics once Type 5 has been finished and we have got the knock sensing functionality working.
If you are looking for something to get these going then we suggest either using a HCR32 Skyline or Z32 300ZX ECU with a Type 2 board. See our FAQ topics for more information regarding these ECUs.
Your other option, if you really want to use the R33 ECU is to use an emulator with an expensive third party daughter board (pictured above) available from Sam at www.drdrift.com.au
NIStune Base Image Programmer Boards
NIStune boards are preprogrammed with your ECU ROM image when you place your order. The base image programmer boards take Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 boards. These will also take Type 4 boards when these are available. They require a PC with parallel port and USB port or 5 - 12 volt power supply.
Workshops may wish to order blank boards which they can preprogram as required. We will be providing programmer boards (Cost $140AUD) which will initially be available to workshops to reprogram their own boards. We have produced our first small batch of working programmer boards at this time.
Note: NIStune programmers cannot be used for reading / programming standard EPROM chips. You will require a Moates, Willem or similar programmer
Wide Band
The following wide band units are supported by Nistune and can be used in conjunction with consult for AFR and auxiliary input display, map tracing and logging / replace. Capabilities depend on which unit you purchase, so research before purchasing.
We personally use the TechEdge and Innovate LC-1 units, but most do about the same job with different auxiliary functions.
TechEdge
1.5 and 2.0
http://www.techedge.com.au
Innovate
LM-1 and LC-1
http://www.innovatemotorsports.com
Note:
Regarding LM-2 units we are still waiting for Innovate to release an updated
Software Development Kit (SDK) for this unit so we can communicate with the unit
using the USB connection. In the meantime several users have ordered an extra
serial lead with the unit to use it with the previous LM-1 SDK and Nistune.

device with 0-5 volt output and watch and log it in NIStune.
Emulation (Intronics Romulator / Moates Ostrich)
For those who wish to use emulation instead of built in boards Using a single emulator will allow you to realtime tune your 8-bit ECU board using the Consult for ECU status and accurate maptracing. Motes Ostrich 2.0 emulators now have hardware maptracing supported for 8-bit ECUs only in NIStune
Using dual emulators combined with a commercially available daughterboard for 16-bit ECUs using Consult for ECU status and accurate maptracing.
Emulation (CalumSult RealTime Board)
We can confirm that NIStune software is now compatible with CalumSult real-time boards. This means that you no longer have to use three separate programs to emulate, data log, map trace and read wideband readings on. NIStune integrates all the data together in one package and can display and data log all information together.
