Hey guys!

I've been running a JWT ECU for years now, but with the 3.5 in the car I need a more precise tune, so I'm stepping up to the NIStune board in a few weeks when the weather warms up. I've heard good things about NIStune back on my home forum of Maxima.org, but I wanted to check in here and see what people are saying. I'll post up my dyno results when I get tuned, shooing for 250 whp!

If you have NIStune, feel free to post up any advice or issues you've come across, thanks!

I put Nistune in my S14 SR-swapped S14 this winter. I have not yet had a chance to really use it, but I'm really looking forward to exploring the new potential. I can recommend that you start reading up on all the literature on the Nistune site and bookmark the Nistune forum. The forum is your best friend.

Well I've got a date with the dyno next Tuesday, where I will be getting it fully tuned. I'll post back and let you know how it goes!

I had NISTUNE on my CA S13, It was pretty good once I did a lot of reading and spent many hours on the forums. Definitely your best bet is to spend some time over there. :dblthumb:

Did you do the tuning all yourself or did you have a NIStune certified shop do the tune? I'm letting a shop take care of it for me.

Me and a couple friends took turns riding around and doing the tuning. We got the car pretty damn close on our own. It never really got properly tuned but I was up to 18psi on a Precision PT61 and she felt pretty healthy before we had a (possibly self inflicted) failure. lol
