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

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
