If the price is about $2k i wouldnt hold too many in stock as the benefits for the average skyline owner wont justify the price increase over pfc

again...this ECU is not suited to everyone....but think about this...

how many people spend $800+ on camshaft upgrades that have a minimal effect on performance...a lot!

wait until we do some back to back testing and publish some results...i think they will have a place in the aussie skyline performance market.

Feature list sounds suspiciously like a great aussie ecu I know, price too.

If it is the same ecu, I've seen nothing but good results with these, but as always its the tuner that makes the most of it(or not) in the end.

think about it...sell Power FC, AFM's and boost controller and upgrade costs next to nothing

well.. apart from the new intake pipes and re-tune, yeh.

I guess for those looking at MOTEC level of capabilities, it's a bargain.

for the masses of 12 second 250rwkw skyrines, it's not worth the extra dollars over a PFC.

when i think about it...

PFC $1300

Gizzmo Launch Controll $400 (second hand its 700 new)

Q45 AFM $180

Boost Controll Kit $350

I i will have $200 left over from selling all my stuff and buying this ECU.

ANother Thought...High and Low Impedence Injectors?

This Is Sounding Very Tempting...Although I have to get my car driving again before id think about this....Was going to Go an E11v2.

Waiting to how many see in/out puts this one has as I wanna run water Injection, thermos etc

Would be awsome to have water inj triggered by intake temp.

injectors can be selected from a table by part no. (denso ********) or brand (Blitz 1000cc) very easy...high and low imped.

water inj. triggered by intake temp. not a drama...switching on and off thermo's...just as easy

The following info might answer a few questions and clear a few things up for people.....

The V44 standalone has 4 injector and 4 ignition outputs. The plug-in ECU based on the V44 have six injector and six ignition outputs. The V88 model has 8 injector and 8 ignition outputs. Also it has knock control and DBW throttle control. Both ECU have motorsport features like antilag, WOT shift, launch control.

These ECU use a 32 bit microcontroller running at 42Mhz. This processor is designed for engine control and has the power and speed to work with crank and cam trigger signals in real time. It does not use the time based system like the Autronic. The result is far more stable ignition and injector control. On engines with multitooth crank triggers the ECU reads and uses every signal for maximum resolution.

Some of the features are,

Missing tooth engines can run wasted spark without a sync signal.

User can set reluctor input signal threshold. (this lets you tune out any interference)

Variable cam control for up to four cams. (V88 only)

Outputs can be controlled by GPC tables or PID with feedback.

ECU case is extruded with water proof connectors. Case is small and not box shaped (looks very good).

V44 has one connector and the V88 has two connectors.

Idle control is very very good and very easy to setup.

No popping in the exhaust on overrun with smooth transition in and out of over run

Fixed duty boost control.

Different boost in each gear.

Dual fuel and Ignition tables that can be externally switched.

Up to 12 cylinder multi coil engine support

DBW throttle control (V88)

QuickTune (Autotune) feature on both V44 and V88.

Inputs and Outputs:

V44 injector = 4

V44 ignition = 4

V44 analog inputs = 3/4*

V44 temp inputs = 2

V44 digital inputs = 3/4*

V44 AUX outputs =8

V44 Connector pin number = 34 (one connecter)

*one Digital input shares the same pin as one analogue input

V88 injector = 8

V88 ignition = 8

V88 analog inputs = 11

V88 temp inputs = 4

V88 digital inputs = 10

V88 AUX outputs = 10

V88 Knock input = 2

V88 Connectors pin number = 2 x 34 (two connecter)

V88 has:

- E-Throttle (drive by wire throttle)

- Peak & Hold (individual P&H current control)

- Dual Knock

- 4MB of logging memory

Both ECU's have:

- 8V out

- 5V out

- Trigger in = 2

- USB Coms connector

- Can Bus Coms connector

- All spare injection and ignition channels can be auxiliary outputs

Toyota Celica ST205 (V44)

As you can see this is quite an extensive product and very well engineered and produced. It is far superior than the Autronic in a few features especially over-run control. Personally im itching to get it in the car and try it.

Depends how nuts you want to go, the bikirom daughterboard (running version 3 software) is more than good enough in the R34, especially for the price. You've got full access via USB to most of the maps you'd want to frig with. The only thing V3 is missing is real-time upload, but that's been sorted with V4 anyway...so bit of a moot point.

So easy to tune now it's sickening, shame it was like this out of the box 2 years ago, took time to develop I suppose.

Yeah, but they wanted to make sure when it hit the market it hit the ground running...

having the thing not up to scratch would have given the product a bad name from the get-go and something that would have been hard to shake.

The thing is constantly under development and even last week underwent quite a number of needed changes after tuner feedback.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
