the timber species Tasmanian Oak is actually mixed tassie and vic trees like vic ash mountain ash messmate etc but its labeled OAK cos European people believe that ash is a sub species.

Enough "oh but its a vipec not a link its a link not a vipec." more about tuning results please. i couldnt give a rats arse who makes it. just as long as its good and has the proof to back it up

i think 12 pages back we all agree it is good, ive used both Vipec and Link G4's with great success, but as said a page back if you have a PFC and expect to get more power just by changing over you are wasting your money.... check over the options and if you need extra functionality and are reaching the limits of your current ecu then i cant reccomend the LINK or Vipec enough as they are great to use and driveability is as good as a well tuned PFC remap etc, far better driveabilty than any microtech etc..

hey all

im about to put a r32 rb26 into my 33 gtst, i currently have a 33 gtst pfc, but from reading i presume i would need the r32 rb26 vipec to run this motor? is that correct, and then would also need a standard 32 gtr ecu to put the vipec board into??

any r 32 33 or 34 stock ecu case will fit the vipec board

the vi-pec board suits rb20/25/26

speak to alistair @ Autoworx or contact Lumpy (the distributor in WA) for any details

i figured out why flat shift wasn't working for me earlier this evening, i must say its a good bit of fun now that it does work, though traction between gears is a bit of an issue.

how do you set it up? where were you going wrong?

Wire up one of the digital inputs to the clutch switch and set it up as a "GP Input".

Check that the settings are correct for the way you have wired the switch using the "Digital Inputs" tab at the bottom of the software. (this is the bit where mine was playing up the rising/falling setting was set incorrectly so it was activating as the clutch pedal was released rather than depressed which makes for an interesting drive)

Turn flat shifting on i have found that around 0.75 seconds for the cut period works well for me.

Then just setup what RPM you want it active above with what % of throttle you want it to activate over.

i found that my car with a fully functional stock BOV holds ~8psi (running 12psi) during the gear changes and the boost is pretty much instantaneous when the ignition cut finishes.

Just a wild question, its probably been asked before, but i couldnt be bothered reading through the 20+ pages.

Does anyone know if there are any decent tuners for the vipec here in Auckland, NZ??

and roughly how much for drive in drive out?

You would be crazy to use a vipec ecu in NZ, go to your nearest link dealer. If you can drive up to whangarei trickytune is a dealer and has done many pnp g4's

Anyone who tunes link g4's can tune a vipec as they are the same thing.

Btw GCP are the nz vipec dealer.

can anyone confirm that the v44 plugin will run low impedence injectors without using a resistor pack?

I have heard they from different people that they will but have also read you need a resistor pack.

Anyone done this yet?

V44 only handles high impedance so you'll need a resistor pack.

The V88 handles both + it also has knock detection unlike the V44.

Graham West in Adelaide has been running the Vipecs on the skylines adn other cars for some time now. He's good but he's expensive.

Personally I'd prefer to grab the one install myself and have my own tuner tune it for a few hundred.

I remember reading some where the V44 handles external knock input so that may be another option. Really comes down to the price of the V44 plugin vs V88.

I'm a bit of a fiddler so I'd love to ditch the PowerFC, plug the Vipec in with a wideband/laptop and get that tune 11ty billion percent spot on. :D

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
