Quick few questions

Tracing an AN2 Voltage error on the IAT Sensor, the sensor is reading negative temperatures for fractions of a second and then returning to normal, this appears to be linked to my break down issue.

Will trace the cabling and check the sensor voltage as well, any tips on what to set the multimetre at for this? Also just wondering my car also appears to be running a bit hot as well, getting up to 95c on the standard radiator, and this isn't flogging the car either. Running thermo fans, just wondering is it possible my IAT issue is effecting when the thermo fans cut in (controlled by ecu)

thanks (this is on the v44 plugin board ecu)

After asking many questions at workshops, i think this thread has given me the definative answer on which ecu i'll be going for. V44 wins hands down over pfc (considering exchange rate and not chancing it on a fried 2nd hand unit). I think Dirt is right, everyone is a little apprehensive about new products, but when you have both Dirt and Guilt-toy and a few others vouching for this product and the benefits are in front of you, it can only be a good thing

I've got no issues with the support ray got back to me the same day, can't beat that, just really after other peoples experiences. Both the tuner and ray said the same thing, ie check the IAT wiring to see if it has been pinched etc.

can it run automatic rb25? or run in piggyback style, due to auto ?

cheers

Runs in an auto find Brendan. No, it doesn't do shift compensation, (ie pull timing on a shift to reduce the kick and motor loading while being pulled back down in revs on a change)

I just upgraded my original GTST LINK plugin to the new G4 Plugin (same as V44 hardware) and its perfect.

Throttle response is alot better , even out of the box once fuel maps %'d down to suit the 740cc's.

It definitely wins hands down when you consider the purchase of EBC's afms etc. The only thing I don't like about the V44 is lack of knock display. :(

I don't believe being a new product is an issue - it is a Link G4 but with better support and tweaked to prevent using either or software.

I might have a look at both firmware and see what differs. I suspect where it matters they will be identical, the issue preventing the use of link and vipecs software on either unit is not an indicator they are 'different' ecu's.

I run a knock-link with my vipec to display knock in the cabin. If you're going to use a knock-block for your knock input on the V44 plugin, you can use a knock-link display for the visual display.

I plan to change to one of the LCD type displays in the future for additional outputs.

The new Ruzic Engineering Engine Monitor is a straight plug-in dash display for the Vi-PEC. Its plugs into the CAN port and instantly displays 9 engine parameters pre-programmed as well as many more user defineable options. Comes with shift and warning lights as well as an audible buzzer. Will post some pics and details as soon as im able.

This is your knock display The Rogue.

have a link to it?

ive just installed one in our racecar...ill take some shots and post them up. This item is so slick and with a blue backlit and white LCD screen looks the goods too. The software even has its own dedicated Vi-PEC section written in it...nice.

Ive been made a dealer for this product as ive had quite a bit of input making it all happen as far as the Vi-PEC interface is concerned. They will be available for purchase for Vi-PEC owners very soon.

Someone mentioned previously in this thread about it being called a V66 (by forums guys) cause it has 6 injector outputs...

But it actually has 8 by the looks. Inj 7 is used to drive the Idle solenoid on gtst. Inj 8 is not greyed out so i assume it could be used if you ran a wire :)

I will be running a few wires to make use of the spare in's and outs not available on the expansion connector (ie GTR second AFM input not used in gtst.

He said NOT running the vipec...

Yeah...i know what he said and answered acordingly. You can run the engine monitor if you dont have the Vi-PEC...it just makes the installation a lot more complex as the unit needs to be wired to all the sensors. With the Vi-PEC it simply plugs into the CAN bus port and gets all its data fed from it.

That is correct it does have 8, my INJ 8 actually controls my thermo fans.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
