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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
