Ve turbo update 2
You're getting there. I don't have much to add as boost isn't something I have any experience with, but looks like you're on your way. Good luck, keep making the update videos. It livens things up a bit around here.
Just finished watching your vid and I wouldn't start and run the car the way it is. You should get what you need welded done, put some exhaust paint and exhaust wrap on your feed and down pipe, make sure all wires are out of the way from any exhaust parts, get a turbo blanket for your turbo
I hope there's nothing near or touching the exhaust parts. Even with the exhaust wrap you can still melt things. It gets very very hot and don't forget the turbo blanket too but this is what I got and I just cut it in half and modified it for my application and used staples

And you can take off the filter and use this or something like this

I had the same filter your using when I had a supercharger many years ago and i just took the rubber off the filter and used it for my turbo and I cut a window screen to the size I needed it for my turbo

Nistune's prices are a joke. Their board costs about $2 to make, their software was developed ages ago, and their prices are still ridiculous. You might want to look at other options.
For the price of nistune and its capabilities compared to other tuning options nistune is the best option.
Nistune is by far the best you can get other then full standalone . I decided not to get cable or license since I have king performance 5 miles away. I talk to Chris who tunes nistune and he said that they have the record for most hp on nistune. They send a video to nistune Australia for proof. So I'm in good hands.
A iphone cost $24 dollars to make. Lol people still buy it.

I bought some today at auto parts store. For oil feed line. Need one more for wideband
If you have a laptop you can get the consult cable and buy the license for that price of the $295 and do things yourself because all they gonna do is burn a base image of your stock ecu on to the board before they installed it into your ecu then load a 300zx map on to the board then send you on your way....but then again if your not comfortable with this kind of stuff forget about it lol

I don't know what they have at the auto parts store but the link I posted that stuff has heat wrap on one side and the aluminized stuff on the other and I don't know if the auto parts store is like this but let me know
When they do the board install for you make sure you clear any ecu codes thats stored in your ecu before they get it because if they download the base image from your ecu (which would be the correct way to do it) and theres any codes in that ecu, when they burn that image onto the board that code will always be there and the only way to get rid of that code is to put the ecu back to stock, erase the code and download the image with no codes from the ecu and ect....so just make sure you clear any codes before you give your ecu to them

His $295 price is an actual dyno tune. Not a "bench" tune. I don't think they could do that anyway even if they wanted to. How would the 300zx maps even run his car even remotely properly?

If you send them an ECU with a code in it, yes that code will still exist once you get the ECU back, but it's not like you can't just instantly clear it. That code isn't "burned" forever into your ECU.
Besides, Nistune has repositories of stock maps that you can burn to your ECU any time, and it's totally irrelevant whether or not the ECU you sent them has a code.

Maybe the 4th gen Nistune stuff is different. We (we being VE guys) have type 3 boards.
Where are you getting this from?

This doesn't sound right either.

Where am I getting this from.....well you can get the license for 200AUD and the consult cable for 95AUD from nistune (us dollar will less depending on the day dollar goes up and down) and you can load any map from the rom pack if you don't know how to read the nistune instructions it tells you to copy and paste. And the car will run just fine......
Either way, this aspect of the convo is totally moot. Tony is getting an actual dyno tune from them.
as far as "this doesn't sound right either" I know from experience this happen when I sent my ecu to Australia and they "Bench tested " my ecu as they dont have an actual car and made codes appear in the ecu then they download it and burn it into the board with what ever code (in my case I have 2 nistune ecu's they did this to 1 with a cam sensor code and the other ecu has 15 codes that pop up everything I connect to the nistune consult and my 3rd nistune ecu they did correctly) yes I 3 nistune ecu's lol...so when I had a cam sensor code and the car was running just fine I knew when I erased the code and the light came right back on it was what he did then matt confirmed that yea it was his bench testing the ecu that made the code appear. And the code will stay there forever if you do what I mentioned so instead of sending the ecu back I just purchased the base image programmer and did things myself and now my ecu's are code free
The ECU I sent in had a knock sensor code when I sent it off. That code didn't stay stuck in my ECU or anything.
Yes I know about the license and consult cable, I have them both. But you're telling me that if I load a K24 map to my ECU my car will run fine? There's no way, zero chance. The VE and the Z32 are fairly similar, but I would be shocked if the Z32 map(s) loaded into the VE even allowed the car to run.
Either way, this aspect of the convo is totally moot. Tony is getting an actual dyno tune from them.
This must be different from our boards. Remember the 3rd gens aren't OBD2. I can clear any codes I have right from the main Nistune window.
