i got my car pc.. the thing is smaller then 3 cd cases put together.. looks hot.. too bad ram is not upgradable but 256mb ram should be ok for a cap pc.. il only use it for the net when i am away from home etc etc

will have it installed and setup this weekend once i can workout how to stuff the hdd into there

Is that one of the single-din pc setups?

I didn't want to go so small (mine is about the same size as my amp) as it wanted it to be semi-upgradable and have room for a capture card.. eventually I'd like to have some good quality cameras throughout the car :P

i see the anti-lag and rotary idle had them either running for cover or scratching their heads at Summernats.

nice comment about it being all over the Power FC too.

we should have the engine monitor up and running soon for you to try with it also.

I worked out how to setup Group N Anti-Lag and Cycle idle at Summernats, gave it a good work out, here is a video of my car spooling up 20psi of boost with the clutch in then dropping it (just a little burnout i was not keen to get kicked out)

Watch old mate to the left, he copped the extream anti-lag pressure from the side pipe and was jumping outta the way :laugh:

*More Vids of Anti-Lag*

Uploading more atm

bloody yobbo's.

ahh paul you'd love it :laugh:

haha not really...only good thing about summernats are the pavillions + dyno.

glt toy....how much traction loss when launching anti lag etc???? is it very driveablewith the features + are they easy to turn off (rotary control, anti lag etc)

Cycle idle is NOT anti lag, its for cooling when the car is on anti lag rundown, so when your not on anti lag the extra air and no spark in the cyl cools it down heaps, i noticed when idleing around with cycle idle the engine would not go to operating temp on a very hot day.. which is weird...

You can turn anti lag off with a digital input switch (but cycle idle stays on), and when my car is on 24psi with anti lag there is no such thing as traction what so ever. Its just a big show off thing i wreckon :( but its fun and grabs attention

its also kinda hard to drive the car with cycle idle.. its mainly for WOT driving so i will have it on again for power cruise.

Id be interested to see whether anyone has bothered to run the boost controller that comes with these computers. The guy whos retuning my car was part of the development team of these new ecu's and said they are incredibly good.

Wouldnt mind hearing some other opinions as naturally he is a tad bias!

Cheers

will let you know.. will be trying a stock r33 solinoid and the boost controll in the next couple of weeks.. hmmm i should do it tomorrow but i am lazy.

I'm using the boost control feature. I've got a Mac solenoid in place of the stock one. I have wired the ECU up to an external switch (factory fog light switch) for high/low boost :) The boost control seems to work fine. It's open loop though, which means it takes a little longer to tune on the dyno. It also has overboost protection.

There is a closed loop boost control feature coming soon I believe. I'm looking forward to that one.

this is prolly going to get laffed at, but since the vipec is just a board that you put in ur standard ecu is there a way to put it in your PFC and thats a way of possibly retaining the hand controller without having to go laptop..

No not possible at all.. however in a few weeks there will be a Vipec Dash available which will run rings around the Crappy padel power fc hand controller and have programable shift lights and all kinds of stuff available.

I will do a review on the Dash just before its about to be released.

Sounds great. I have an overboost problem at present and wouldnt mind checking out whether its teh boost controller thats causing the problems without buying an expensive new one. Solinoids are 100NZD (not sure about AUD) if you want a new one also.

Look forward to hearing how it goes mate.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
