to the OP, how many tuner options do you have? and are there some really well known ones that you're willing to travel a bit to get to that might be able to offer a lot more ECU options for you?

If he's in the North Island he could do himself a favor and see Andre at Speedtech in Lower Hutt...gun tuner and top fella.

Link G4 Storm then...simple. Dont like the thread discussion then stay out of the thread...easy.

Ash that car is more than a simple silver box...is it not ? Poor example...but nice shovel work.

Still runs a PFC either way.

I thought it a rather good example. Just like DCIEVE/N1-GTR's, and so on. Oh but ye - they weren't a Link sorry... Vipec.

At the end of the day the Vipec isnt the be all and end all - It is nothing more than another ECU that has more features than anyone really needs for 99% of the applications out there.

What it does though however (and this is a very very important feature) - it keeps the fanboy's happy. Thats all that matters to some people.

End of the day - you choose the ECU that the tuner is most happy with and that is all that matters as stated a number of times now.

What the fu(k does all that babble have to do with the topic...remember its Storm vs Microguess...you mods are good at pushing your own cart also...Ash how many times do you come in threads as a disiple of Ben's pushing his cart. Without him you'd just be a dumbass with a crappy road car.

Im one of the only ones on here using a Link G4 Storm...and being a 1000hp GTR that also now makes a nice road car i think im more than qualified to give some input and assistance to the fella. Ive also installed one of these ecu into one of the fastest Sport Compact cars on the planet (its the current world record holder) the thing makes over 1800hp runs 18 1600cc injectors and purrs like a kitten.

Again its gets a little tiresome hearing people talk about things they have no knowledge of or experience in.

go away blowfly.

Unless its your experience - its not valid - that's what it has to do with it.

There are plenty of others out there that have experience but you totally disregard their input in just about every thread you can.

We are upto what - 3 experiences so far but only one counts apparently - yours.

Get your head outta your a$$ and show other users some respect

Steve-o's point was valid...has your ability to read and comprehend also disappeared? I even acknowledged it...as it was about the topic. The same with dcieve about the Autronic...i said it may have actually been that the ecu was faulty. I give credit where credit is due and listen to all points of view...but when its baseless ridicule of a product that you wouldn't know one end of the other from Ash your outta line. :cool:

Youv'e come in here only to have a shot at me...sorry mate but ive got to do this....SWAT!

Thats like comparing the taste of chocolate and dogshit.

Who's ridiculing what exactly?

The 100 page vipec thread details all the lovely wonderful lists of features of the ECU and they are impressive.

My comment about the features stands however, you'll be hard pressed to find many people that need a thesis of features for most setups.

are you saying ive had no experience with Microtech? i used to own one...in all things an R31...then Dave had to put up with one in his R33...one of my good mates who's car i tune...or used to tune... as Mark Jacobsen has taken over now he has upgraded from the Jap computer in a silver box...to something a bit like a Link.

Ben and i had a nice chat about the Link ecu and he was impressed...his words were "once its fully developed with full plug and play with afm capabilities it will be a great product." So why are you such a hater? or is it just the sheep mentality?

Microtech's are a great ecu for a given application...just ask the Puerto Rican drag racers. His application is not a WOT rotary powered drag car... its an in-line 6 road car. Just ask Shane Crichton who owns the fastest Cressida on the planet...the Microtech cost him an engine.

yea i am in auckland. Does any one have tuners they could recommend?

RIPS dont actually tune their own cars, Infomotive in Rotorua does it last time i checked. They do the build and setup, and by all means do it well, but they dont tune.

SpeedSource in Warkworrth have a great reputation, but ive used both Infomotive and Torque Performance before, and speaking from first hand experience would say go and see Robin @ Torque Performance in Avondale. Dave @ D Tech in Tauranga also has a great reputation and tunes all around the country.

Im running a G3 link (quite similar to a g4) and think its great so definitley go for that. There are few tuners in NZ who will reccomend a Microtech so i dont know where you got that idea.

There is a place in manukau called protune. got my rb30 with linkplus tuned there for a good price and im pretty happy with what they did. A few friends have been there and have all been happy with price and what they got. Very friendly and helpful. You could go and see them and have a chat and they would at least give you some free advice about your setup and anything that might need to be done before a tune to save you some hours on a dyno doing repairs

Also, you could look up bob homewood. he has a workshop in drury. he has tuned a few mates cars. he tunes a lot of track cars with good results. A few years ago his prices were reasonable, dont know anybody that has been there since

Or you could try carl ruiterman (Spelling??) the drift guy, he did a mates rb30 with a G3 link and it runs great. i think he is in pukekohe

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      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

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      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

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      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)
