I find it funny how the title of this thread says these are aussie made, they are made in NZ by link electrosystems, they sell their versions called g4 storm and g4 extreme.

Nice AFR... Not...

Rather heading to the lean side on that mate at a 12.5AFR most of the way through the rev range...

That could be rather damaging on a warm day if it detonates.

I did not look at his graph but 12.5:1 should be fine provided the rest of the tune is up to par. i have tuned plenty of GTR's and RB's for track work that see way harder times than a daily driver.

i have also had some big number daily driver GTR's on my dyno leaner than that... all come from probably the most respected GTR tuning shop in aus.... hardly a concern.

I agree. I have been taking my car to JPC for the pass 3 years and i highly recommend them

Mark and Paul do outstanding work.

I spoke to JPC today and will be going in in a week or 2 to get a Vipec ECU installed and tuned.

I dont see the point in paying $1200 for a second hand Power FC when i can get a brand new ECU that seems to be better for $400 more!

Is there a downside to the Vipec system? Sounds all good to me.

I am pretty sure they are Australian engineering and designed. So, who gives a toss where they are made. Holdens are "Aussie made" and most of the small car range is made overseas.

Anyway, great ECU!!!

I was quoted $1650 plus 4 hours to fit and dyno......i'm now thinking of just getting the standard ecu remaped through dr drift.

Yeah it is tough to beat sams good work. He just did my gtr and I couldn't be happier

Like Trent, I too am interested in purchasing these items through someone other than a direct retail competitior...

I would say they had "input" from Ray hall as this is why they feature very similar fueling strategies to Autronic, but yes they are made in NZ by link.

I have no doubt they are a very good ecu.

Finally got the Vipec installed by Insight motorsports. Overall I am very happy with the results, the car feels a lot more responsive down low and coming onto boost, and more importantly is no longer running lean. Was safely tuned to 355HPawkw @ 17psi, car has N1's, exhaust and dumps and that's about it. All it needs is bigger injectors but will see how this power goes down at the track first.

Can post a dyno sheet if anyone is interested.

Did you go the V44 'plug in' or the Wire-in unit?

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
