But only has 4 ignition drivers unless you want to get a V88.

Hopefully haltech will release more plug and play models

I do not know how the ignition outputs work but there is a plugin model for both the R33 and R34 skyline.

the plugin model runs wasted spark (two coils fire at once) i have not had any issues with this setup as of yet.

Our street/circuit GTR runs a plug-in...over 600hp (24psi) at all four and pulls harder than a one armed 15 year old with a stack of porno's.

Hi guys, I'm using a plug in VIPEC in my R32 GTR for 3 months now and since the install there's been an intermittent problem with my Atessa which brings up the code for TPS fault. I've read a post somewhere by someone saying that this problem had happened and was possibly caused by the ECU creating a voltage drop (also with an Autronic) and the correction was a voltage buffer or some sort. Could anyone get into detail about what the fix is? I'm getting tired of losing my AWD mid corner on a hard drive and having to turn the car off to reset the Atessa..... Please help.

I'm only running 302whp at the moment but building for 500whp this winter and I can't have the chances of intermittent traction loss. Thanks guys.

Check your TPS is correctly adjusted and tightened firmly...the plug-in boards have never had an ATESSA issue...only the V88 when running the early harness adaptor.

Thanks! I'll check it out. I didn't know it was only the V88. Was hoping it was any of them lol. Back to the head scratching...

Can anybody recommend a distributor that I can contact to purchase one of these ECU's from??

The distributor local to me is one that I wont go to for seperate reasons and being in TGassie makes it hard to shop around some.

I am looking for somebody who can supply an ECU with a base tune already in it so we only need to fine tune it to my car.

Would like to have this in a and running before christmas.

Speak to Brett West at Adelaide Performance Engineers (Graham West Workshops) see what he can do.

I was in Burnie a few months ago, nice little town!

Curious to know what message do people get when they hook up their ecu to their laptop for the first time? Ie when it's asking to install the drivers? Vi-pec are sorting out an issue with my ecu, but curious to know what peoples ecu's come up as.

Mine says found new hardware "Link G4 Extreme"...lol

So sounds like it should recognise it as a link?

hmm mine wont connect to my laptop running vista (cant find the drivers, ive tried multiple reinstalls on the laptop), and comes up saying link electrosystems ECU, but getting a new top board from VIPEC so will see if that sorts out my issues. It connected fine with my old xp laptop, but will not work under vista. And will also will now not connect under my other laptop running xp.

CeJay...my last post was supposed to be funny...sorry you missed it. Have you checked the vi-pec forum for answers?

Yes I have, and hopefully it's getting sorted, getting a replacement top board from Ray, because my ecu doesn't come up as a vipec, it comes up as a link. Was genuinely interested to see what other peoples ecu's register as.

And here i was trying to be funny and i was on the money.

We tried reflashing a Link with the Vi-pec firmware to test the theory that the hardware was the same...it didn't work. We tried flashing it back and it wouldn't work back as a Link...we killed it! Link sent us another one to replace it.

    • 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.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol.
