Ive just had a Vi-Pec ecu installed in my R34 GT-T by godzilla motorsports, Mark is a great tuner and he swears by the Vi-pec. Hes got the fastest GTR in Aus on Radials and hes taking his motech ecu out and replacing it with a Vi-pec.

If youve got any questions ide give him a call hes very easy to talk to.

My tuner Glenn "Lumpy" Campbell was the WA Autronic agent and is now the WA Vi-PEC agent. I went Autronic in my SR and he did the tune and when we've discussed each he hasn't mentioned that one is leaps and bounds better than the other.

The Vi-PEC will likely have better support now and into the future now that Ray Hall doesn't support Autronic and is behind Vi-PEC.

The Vi-PEC also sounds more fool proof and quicker/easier to setup and I like the sound of the active knock control on the V88 - but if E85 becomes widely available knock may become a thing of the past - however, the ECU will need to be able to control big injectors with the additional flow requirements of E85 - so that may be a consideration along with idle control etc.

I guess if a tuner is well versed in the ideosyncrycies of the relevant ECU then I guess its a moot point providing the chosen ECU is suitable for the task at hand.

can everyone get over the link vs vipec argument its getting abit old now, read the old thread if you wanna argue about that, i would prefer to read decent detailed info on the unit like what sensors can it run etc.

can the v88 run and log 6 egt's? and a crank trigger setup is no problem with it is it?

At the end of the day any ecu is only as good as the guy that is punching in the numbers and that is fact can not be disputed. The best ecu in the hands of a shite tuner will give a poor result when compared to lets say a lower spec ecu with a really good tuner.

totally agree with dazmo & beer baron, reminds me of when i used to race bikes...1 of my mates on his out dated 600 would obliterate others on their 1000's, same analogy

vipec seems to be an aust. product & it sounds like a great ecu.

like most things these days that come out of aust: i.e. pfitzner, ppg, motec etc...better keeping the money here than o'seas IMO

Vipec is actually designed and made in NZ.

Vipec is a great ecu and is Australian like Split Enz & Russell Crowe. :down:

I got a price on the vipec v44 plug in for r32 gtr from insight motorsport...$1880 ecu alone.

$3331 installed and tuned...which i thought was a bit much considering i have seen godzilla motorsport quote $2500 supplied ,installed,tuned.

Who else can supply and tune vipec in sydney...or i just take it to godzilla motorsport.

DiRT chime in if you would.

No offence but has the VIpec been tested with a new engine configuration - as in mutiple cam control, DBW control, knock sensor retard functions? This is one area where all aftermarket ECU's seem to fall over. I'm yet to see an aftermarket ECU control Cams better than the factory ECU in almost all applications let alone DBW control - f**k me, most even struggle with stepper motor control!

You would think by now that most aftermarket ecu's would be at least able to deliver consistant injector and ignition control -but I've seen issues with all the big name ECU's - including Haltech, Motec and Autronic!!

On a side note I had a look at the Vipec interface - looks rather clumbsy! Was it copied from Motec?

no offence at all...great questions.

do yourself a favor...jump on the vi-pec forum and ask Ray Hall yourself. its the best way to answer any queries by going straight to the product development team.

ezy 9's the price of the vi-pec has increased due to manufacturing costs (5%) Mark is looking after you if thats what he quoted for the instal and tune.

we do the ecu, 2.5bar map and temp sensor for $1650 its a bit over the rrp but import duy and freight from NZ is a bitch.

as for sydney JEM or anyone for that matter should have no issues with the vipec / LINK its software is very self explanatory.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
