Yeah I'm not being defensive etc, just clarifying our position because of how the unit was being labeled in this thread

Because of the way Nistune works, it is similar to other standalone units in how it is tuned and has been compared quite a lot to the PowerFC etc.

However one has to remember at the end of the day that it is a factory ECU and you arent going to have MAP sensing, launch control etc with one ... unless special modificaitons are made to the Nissan code (note this has been done by the likes of DeviousKA and Calumsult on the USDM KA24DE/SR20DE platforms using custom modificatioins and stealing inputs from environmental sensors ... but this not something easily rolled out or compatible amongst all vehicles)

There are still a lot of improvements to be had, such as indicating which maps are used when, and dealing other quirks inside the Nissan ECU but that is something I'm working on at the moment. All these things make tuning these units quicker and easier and more accessible. Gone are the days where ROM tuning was a black art known by few.
