were selling for 1650

hoping to have the 1st few installed and tuned next week

i am hoping for the install THIS WEEK i have been waiting a week now and no contact about when it can be installed and tuned if it dont happen soon i will be wanting a refund.

a bit of communication would go a long way

according to my disto features on plug in are as per v44

so antilag is option

launch control is std

You mean you have to pay more for antilag?

WTF is this shit?

It's a piece of code, they should just f**king add it!

can someone confirm that antilag is an option? so you'd have to pay more for it? how much if so..

Just went and saw my tuner last night I am having a V88 installed on my R33 GTR.

So far has just tuned for idle and cold start and I am already impressed. Punch the throttle and it goes back to idle smoothly, sits on about 800rpm and sounds great. Software looks good too, really easy to understand.

A day or so on the dyno now and hopefully I will get it back. Excited!

Welcome to MOTEC

and in the blink of an eye the Autronic jumps lightyears ahead...

seriously though, paul can you confirm this?

also will they 'communicate' with the AIM dashes? like the haltech/autronic ecus do?

i might just ring mark in the morning

I've been running the Nissan plug-in ViPEC on my R32 GTR for a couple of weeks and couldn't be happier. I sold my PFC including datalogit and Nismo MAFs for a bit less than I paid for the ViPEC and my car runs much better.

I first installed my PFC on an OEM build and had absolutely no complaints. The car idled well, pulled hard, gave me all the control of fueling and ignition timing I needed. I added 264/265 x 9.7 mm cams and a set of GT2860R-5 turbos and everything was still great. Added HKS dumps, had some fairly extensive exhaust porting done and raised compression ratio to about 8.7:1 and couldn't get the PFC to control idle consistently. Part throttle shuffle was interfering with my life as well and could not be tuned out.

Slightly off topic rant. Skip unless you're interested in why MAP>MAF sometimes...

Root cause is that the MAF transfer function is nonlinear, and the PFC adds the raw voltages BEFORE it applies the transfer function. Oscillating airflow therefore appears to be oscillating load and the PFC changes fueling and spark accordingly. This feeds the shuffle and results in an unstable situation. If you could apply the transfer function to each MAF signal and THEN add them, the system wouldn't go unstable.

Back to the ViPEC... It uses the factory CAS without any drama. The tuning went very smoothly with autotune every 500 rpm on the dyno making short work of fueling tweaks. (Innovate wideband feeds an aux channel for great accuracy and response time) We only layered on one more dimension to manage the differing fuel needs for part throttle vs WOT at a given engine speed and boost level. The car pulls nicely from the basement right to redline.

The tune is pretty conservative running 10.5:1 at 17 psi in the higher rpm cells. More timing could be fed in as well, but the lack of knock control, or even indication of knock, makes me want to run conservatively until I get a handle on this. By the time you hear it from the driver's seat it's pretty bad... Don't want to go there.

Anyhow, here's what my setup looks like with the dyno numbers.

Cheers,

Dan

VEHICLE: 1989 GT-R

ENGINE: RB26DETT, 88mm bore, CR=8.7:1

MILEAGE: 127xxx Kms

OIL/WATER PUMP: Nismo/OEM

INJECTORS: 600cc Nismo

FUEL SYSTEM: Bosche 044 in-tank

TURBO SETUP: twin GT2860R-5

MAP or MAF's: MAP

INTAKE SETUP: Apexi Power intake

INTERCOOLER: OEM

VALVETRAIN: JUN 264/264 9.7 mm lift - adjustable gears

HEAD WORK: Intake mildly ported and left rough, exhaust opened up about 15% and polished, combustion chamber polished

EXHAUST: HKS dumps, Tomei DP, 85 mm HKS Priest

BOOST LEVEL: 1.2 bar = 17 psi - Blitz Dual SBC Type R

ECU SETUP: ViPEC Speed Density

CLUTCH: ORC series 700 twin

COOLING: Greddy aluminum rad with electric fan

DYNO:

Note linear torque increase from a respectable 150 ft.lbs @ 2500 to a slingshot-like 325 ft.lbs @4300 rpm, relatively flat plateau to about 6500 rpm and only modest drop in torque up to 7500. This is without any cam timing tweaks and with everything pretty darn warm.

The car feels very alive on the road and willing to rev til you shift. :drive:

Nice conservative tune intended to let me have a ton of fun without making rebuilds my hobby.

HP: 390

TQ: 330

Gary,

Which workshop is doing the tuning?

did they quote how much it cost to tune it?

Cheers

i dropped it off to Alistair @ Autoworxs this morning he is installing the ecu and loading base map then Lumpy is tuning it on Tenagah Motorsports dyno on monday morning :( yay no more afm's to worry about

will one of these fit an stagea s1 with auto? and where in melbourne would i get it tuned?

i've been trying to get a dealership as i have a few customers wanting them but melbourne is tied up with JPC and so far i have not recieved more information.... still waiting. ;)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
