:D

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

Hey sam ive fitted and played with one and they are great but they are just a re-branded LINK from NZ. They tune up real sweet and the software is easy to use and quite well laid out, i certainly reccomend them but i must now compare distribution and pricing with LINK.

cheers, mark

No surprise there.. Software was almost identical to the old G3...

The link is almost $400 cheaper though? whats the difference?

Does the $400 just get you australian based support?

Also, what about air temp sensors, with the afm gone, do you wire one in?

all vipec ecus come with a air temp sensor and plug to wire in...the gtrs use the factory air temp sensor and for rb25s use the vipec air temp sensor supplied with the ecu...

ecus can be supplied with base maps depending on your mods talk to your local vipec dealer...

and yes you do get great support from vipec dealers...

the r34 gtt manual ecus are a few weeks away... r34 gtt autos will need to run the factory ecu to control the auto and wire in a v88 ecu to run the engine....

Are any of the sellers shipping these loaded with a base map yet, similar to how the power FC is standard?

Yes we are able to supply units with base maps and also a variety of levels of tune.

Be great when you become a SAU sponsor then :P

i contribute more on here than some trader who pays $50 a month to flog their wares on here and contributes nothing.

Profit i make from Vi-PEC = $0 :)

So why would i pay $50 per month to make no profit?

If your going to police the forums at least be consistent because...

you are seen in other threads today clearly supporting mates advertising their own businesses on here...see link below

I have a ViPEC with a Greddy EBC. Works fine I guess. I was told standalone EBC's function better than the Vipec's but I can't see there being much of a difference, other than being able to switch from high to low.

I was told that you can wire in a high/low boost switch.

I was looking at the website earlier and noticed in the comaprison table between V44/V88/plug-in, that the V44 and plug-in ECUs do not have knock control. It says the V88 does, but not the others. I hope that the table wrong. Can anyone confirm? I was under the impression they all have knock control. If they don't then that's a bit disappointing as your losing a factory feature. It was also a major advantage over the Power FC and others.

Of course, if I really want knock control I could buy a V88, but then a lose the 'stealth' factor of the plug-in boards.

You can wire in a high/low switch and set up a boost table to suit.

Only the V88 has knock control, that is correct. Don't worry about the "stealth" look, you can't see my V88 ecu unless you start ripping apart the interior carpets etc.

That's a bit of a worry, because there is no means of controlling knock and no means of indicating it like you would witha Power FC. Not sure if I wanna cough up the extra $$$ for the V88, plus adapter loom. It then puts me in the ball park of other ECUs. Other than that, the Vipec does look impressive :)

    • 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.
