what u mean PFC are out of date? lolz..

most versatile and easiest to use also it comes with a standard map so bolt it in and away you go..where as the other one have to pay for installation and all other bs..

Hahaha

Yeah but the Vipec has more features (Launch control, Anti lag, Flat shift) and having it custom tuned is sooooooo much better for your car than running it on a standard map.

my car isnt for straight lines like yours matey :D

plus i dont want those features.. prices for vipec/haltech and everyone else aruond that is looking close to 2k i wuold be assuming.. thats including product, install and basic tune..

PFC including HC is 1300 landed..then its a basic tune from there.

might just throw it out there but :D

f*K you all :) ill decide my self : D

haha thanks !

plus that anti lag.. if its anything like the beer limiter it would be a waste for a SR. with stock internals and head.. and or turbo as well

sorry to seem rude.. but im not really interested in "ADDED Features" that dont really help with my applications im building tihs for.

Hahahah yeah fair enough

The whole hoha thing about Vipec's launch control is kinda stupid if you ask me. The De-Jetro version of PFC does everything the Vipec does at around the same price. The only difference is more people are experienced in tuning the PFCs comparing to vipec. At the end of the day it depends on your tuner. If he's more comfortable with vipec then thats the way you will go. But having said that, you choose your tuner and its the tune that matters... not the ecu.

Let me know how you go cause I'll be looking for 1 seriously in 2months time due to money issue (saving up for it now!). I'm pretty keen in getting Gavin Wood to do mine (heard a lot of good stuff about him) and getting a De-Jetro with the PFC boost controller kit that I've told you before (clean looking "stock" car).

cooo0000oool??? and?

anyways i believe it does not come down to what your tuner says..its bullshit.. dont like what the tuner does? find another one.

its only too common that people believe and listen to what the tuner has to say.. like sheep for instance.

buy the ecu u think is right and or discuss with a tuner that specializes in that ecu otherwise if cant find what your looking for pick another ecu you think will match your rig.. or wash and repeat and find another tuner the specialize in that specific ECU.

even when it comes to boost controllers.. "Oh my tuner doesnt want to work with a (Insert EBC name here), he said its easier to work with a (Insert EBC name here).. so ill go out and bend over at parts shop just to get that ebc"

point of my little rant...research! dont bend over unless you like to push back and or drive a boat, nonhektic flutters 32

*Note - this rant is towards people having knowledge of EBC,ECUs and tuning not other like minded enthusiasts that are new on the subject.

yeh u defs have a point mate :yes:,

just a few things i noticed however

i dont think you understand redsuns,

my tuner told me that a t51r is the best solution for my NA r34 to make some serious power,

he told me not to worry that my block is a rb25de

and he also told me he can do it so it'll be on full boost at 3500rpm

>_<

Er,

i dont know whether to put u in the same class as king springs and chromies or retarded people with special parking spots..

anyways whether u did listen to your tuner or not.. still shift and shit like a granny too

:S

Wooooooo Vipec FTW

Call Mark from Godzilla Motorsport if you got any questions, hes a good dude! Phone : 07 3890 4488

My one and only complaint about him is;

He tunes to conservatively and I witness'd first hand him lying about the ARF’s on a mates car tuned by someone else to try and get the business.

Being conservative is no doubt a good thing, the very last thing you want is a car to go bang on the dyno or some young kid having a cry a week later when he spins a big end, regaurdless when you have signed the disclaimer and have been instructed to get the most out of the car and refuse to, it is a little disappointing.

Other than that very knowledgeable man

tas this one's for you.

make it happen.

oh also, notice the AE86 with the R32 front on the bottom?

oh yeah, that just happened. now that image is stuck in your head.

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
