are there any system requirements for the computer or will it basically be able to use anything? also, is it a windows program or dos? Just for verification… what specific year/trim ECU's will we be able to use with it?1985 NA2T(now RB) * 1988 SS x2 * 1984 AE x3 * 2006 350Z

any year computer will work. the older ones take more work to get them to work.
i think i've heard that you will need window XP pro. someone else might be able to confirm that thou. -

OK: any laptop that will run XP will work fine. I use a Celeron 600 with 128mb ram to run XP Pro for all my car stuff. It is cheap and small so I dont care about it.
*edit* Oops I misread the statement. He was refering to any year ecu not any year laptop. Yes any year ecu will work fine.http://z31performance.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=147 -

When all is said and done I think it will work like this. When you buy nistune you will need to choose a base code for you ecu (84t, 88na, 88t, jwt, whatever). Matt will keep a collection of common base codes or if you have an odd ball you can send him your chip or a bin file of it and he can modify it for nistune. Anyway, the base code will be programmed on to the nistune board by Matt of whoever is selling the board. You will install the preprogrammed nistune board in your ecu, make any required tuning changes, and away you go. No need for a willem programmer.
For example…Do I have to ask for the 86NA base code if I'm using an 86NA ECU or can I just ask for an 88T base code or will that not work with the 86NA ECU?http://www.vgpowered.com

The base code will need to match the ecu hardware. For the most part that means you have to stick with the stock bin that your ecu came with. 86 and 88 are different but 88 and 89 are the same. In some cases you can mix them up between turbo/na and 5spd/auto depending on what features you want and if you make certain modifications to the ecu hardware. -

is there any benefit to using the 88 ecu with the 16bit hardware?Chuck Stong

From what I gathered, it isnt available? When will it be?
When I look on the website it seems as if I could (and should) order one right away.http://www.vgpowered.com

A few members of the community grabbed the beta version of the board/software to try/test it out.1985 NA2T(now RB) * 1988 SS x2 * 1984 AE x3 * 2006 350Z
