these sound pretty good.. 1 question tho,

im currently runnning a de-jetro in my gtr. Will the "mafless" versions use the same/similar nipples in the manifold?

im loving the fact that you can have 2 seperate maps. One for the street on low boost/fuel consumption and the other for high boost at the flick of a switch..

A new Nissan plug in ecu is soon to be released on the market. A direct plug in running off all factory sensors and controls. It will be laptop programmable with full data logging, launch control, anti-lag, flat shift etc. The ECU will be supplied with a base map tune to suit a STD car and will feature a tune suited to aust. fuels and conditions. Will also feature dual map facility to switch between a race fuel tune and pump fuel tune at the flick of a switch. Red R Racing is looking to be part of the distribution team in Australia.

stay tuned for more info...

sweet its one of a few. The best one ive seen will even challenge motec (far superior computing power and speed) for thier market postion yet be half the price. It has all the above plus optional dash live knock sense and warning etc

id like to seemore of these coming out.

an update for those interested

The V44 release date is June 9th. The V88 release date is 3 weeks later. The website is nearly ready to be put up and looks good.

V88 with harness, USB cable, air temp and water temp : List price $2200 inc gst

V44 : List price $1540 inc gst

Anti lag option : $90

E throttle : $270 (V88 only)

Data log 4mb on board : $90

These prices are not confirmed yet and may be even less when it is released. The V44 is a bargain option for 4 cyl engines. The V88 system runs 2 * 34 pin connectors (Same type as M800 motec). The V44 uses 1 * 34 pin connector and shares the same pinout as plug A in the V88. Very good for upgrading. Also the V44 based plug and play systems will be significantly cheaper than the existing Autronic systems.

DiRTgarage,

Am i reading this correctly that this ECU will self adjust for different fuels (bad batch, no premium available) in much the same way that the newer WRX ecu's do using knock values?

As you have not put pricing in for launch control and the other features, do they come as standard?

Can you use a combination of MAF and MAP based tuning?

not as good as I thought -

Unit - $2200

Anti lag - $90

Rom - $90

E throttle - $280

Total - $2660 to get a decent unit for a skyline. The power FC's are about $1300 less, and can do over half what this can do. 90% of the Skyline market are just normal people wanting a bit more power with a budget. This is obviously aiming at the other 10%.

All this talk about being the new ECU that is going to take over the market is not the case.

I doubt this will make a very big hit. No offence, just my opinion.

^^ im with you.

I wouldnt call it better than a PowerFC by any means, its almost double the price Paul!

Puts it in the middle market where there are about 5-6 other ECU's, so its not in a ground defining market spot either

1.5k would be the ideal market price range for normal people like us.

However, whats the costs for tuning with this unit? and who does it? Any tuner shop with great tuning knowledge?

Hey but im glad theres people in australia making units like these. Hopefully they go global with it.. gdluck to these people!!

But to be honest, the price isnt that attractive at this stage..

I would have to agree with jono.. if this system is going to be a big success that combination listed above needs to cost under $2000, i would rather go for the AEM which is way under $2000

There is another proven aussie ECU thats been on the market for years that has all these features for the $2K mark, but no one likes that ecu... argument at the time was no one wanted all the extra features, fast ecu & mapping points etc it provided :P

Im not mentioning this to rain on Paul's parade, merely stating as others have, that to be successful, price might need to come down.

Lets put this into perspective...

If MoTeC announced it was releasing the M800 in a straight plug in to suit most versions of Skyline, with all the add-on's for $2500 you guys would be raving about it.

:P

This ECU is more suited to the driver/owner who wants a little more from their car, attends regular track days and is involved with the modification process of their vehicle. If your car is tuned and its a set and forget daily driver then yes it may be a little hard to justify the additional expense.

come on Paul u know everyone wants everything for nothing, its the usual deal why do u think all these china products are so popular lol, u will find the serious people will be very happy with the price and are happy to save 2k instead of buying a motec, etc.

ive lost count of people who purchase and install camshafts for little or no gain (sometimes going backwards) for less than this upgrade will cost if you are already a Power FC owner.

Im still keen on this for down the track, when I think about it the 2k+ price isnt that bad concidering i already have a PFC, if I add Z32 (+/-$300) EBC (+/-$400) Launch Control (-/+$700) its not that bad is it. I can understand if you already have the above you wouldnt wanna pay to double up on everything.

Plus I like new toys to play with...Bring on Tax time :P

i would not mind paying a little more due to the knock control... i can justify it. i would rather the ecu take over and protect my engine rather than look at a flashing screen that says some bad s....t is happening.

also i found a couple of threads the other day with people asking how to read the knock levels on a PFC. having it display knock as a numerical value means jack if somone doesnt know what the hell it is!!!!

at the end of the day everyone likes something that is cheap and if they have been using it for so long will not wont to change... i think some people call that ignorance :P

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
