hey guys, just about time to purchase my new ecu for my rb25. have been looking into the haltech and the microtech. price is a fair bit different between the two. everytime i speak to someone they have a totally different opinion on whats better for my use. it will be a daily driver, fully rebuilt motor retaining aac and cold start. who here has had personal experience with any of the two and can give their opinions on what they think is the better option. thanks alot, adam.

This thread needs to be locked after this reply. as it is all you need to know.

The haltech is soo much better then the microtech, will be 100% nicer to drive and you will be able to get better economy.

The microtech is great for full power race cars but if your going to be driving it on the street go the haltech.

Yes i am aware that there are some tuners who can make microtechs go like a shower of shit. but this is not about that. if you have no money get a greddy emanage ultimate.

hey mate,

i went from an HKS ecu to the Haltec E11V2, it was necessary for me to change over due to the power i was producing, ive had it for about 12 months now with no probs. I use the car as a daily driver but also give it a work out on the w/e. I havent had any dealings with microtech to compare against though.

Yeh i'm running the Haltech, i went haltech as alot of tuners can tune them and it will support any mod you wanna do...

it runs nice, very powerful, a few little things i still have to get fixed up (but thats because of my setup and tuner...)

Still can drive it like a factory car :D there is a new ecu out called the Vipec There is a lot of discussion about it on this forum i think it'd be worth a go...

The only reason i didn't use it was it wasn't released when i got mine...

Here's a link

Choose your workshop and then choose your computer if you ask me. Your tune is only as good as your tuner! Haltechs are significantly dearer than the microtech last time i checked. Depends which features you need i guess.

Get a ViPEC...better and cheaper.

Legitimate question, why is it better than a link? if i knew the differrences then maybe it is worth forwarding it on to customers... i have used the VI-PEC and it is sweet but it was so much harder to organise than a PLUG IN LINK... also the VIPEC has NO margin and has to be bought from your competitors..... VERY POOR DISTRIBUTION. If they want to be serious they need to step up and be proffessional... PRODUCT A1, rest is a joke (IF your in Melbourne anyway as distributor doesnt even hold stock, i wanna hold a few to use and tune and i cant.... :) ).

hopefully they sort this out as it is very capable unit.

BTW LINK $1269, Vi-PEC $1699

They are not turning into Haltech...i.e. you sell 2 ecu's and your a distributor.

You sell and advertise a product that is in direct competition with this ECU.

Distrubutors are chosen due to their loyalty to the parent company (formally the supplier of Autronic plug-in's) , knowledge and experience. If you are unhappy with this arrangement i suggest you e-mail Ray and voice your opinion to him...not rant on here. I also suggest you have a discussion with him regarding the product as its far more than a rebadged Link as you may be incorrectly suggesting.

Just because this arrangement leaves you out of the loop does not mean the product is inferior or its distribution practices poor. We can get plenty of units and our customers are extremely happy with the turn-around from ordering to installation and tuning.

You seem a good fella Trent who knows his stuff so i think the suggestions ive made above may be worth following up. You can make a dollar out of this product but it may be in other areas i.e tuning and after-sales service. If the Melbourne distributor is for some reason unable to supply you units for whatever reason you can order them quite easily though us.

This is something i am happy to do and i will talk in the future, i was keen as (due mainly to your endorsement of it) to implement the full range and keep stock (EVO SUBARU, SR and RB) and include it in a advertising campaign worth nearly 14k but then to find that the distributor i had to buy from in Melbourne is not supporting the program (does not even hold stock) why should i bust my balls to promote a product that seems not to want any Melbourne sales growth.... My background is product procurement and market strategy etc so i understand the concepts of price protection and market positioning... i just feel burnt by the whole thing.

As i said i love the Vi-Pec just not its distribution and pricing (paid more for it than what i do locally for a PFC D-Jetro which is just as capable ECU and i can get it faster... which shouldnt be the case.)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
