Hey guys, i am about to part with the folding stuff for one of ray hall's Vi-Pec plug in ecu's for my gtr but i am having trouble getting feedback for the plugins. Anyone here used them? experiences ect, help an old guy out!

Cheers allan

Ive got one in my 34 and I love it, im not much of an ecu expert but Im really happy with mine.

They've got some good features and the fact that they dont need afm's is great :)

Im doing some research on ECU's and found mark from godzilla to be very helpful with all my inquiries about the Vi-Pec....from all reports including people using them over in canada they are a great ECU and good value for money, im planning on coupling mine with one of the ruzic engineering displays.

Vipec / Link are an amazing ECU for their price, I wouldn't put anyone off them.

I have seen eight second cars and the Vipec controlling 8 x 1600cc injectors perfectly.

Mark and i installed a Vi-PEC in Tony Wedlock's Solara drag car its has 18 x 1600cc injectors and runs 6.6's.

I run a Vi-pec ecu in our 9.45 sec GTR street/drag car as well as our street/circuit GTR. Both of these cars are tuned by Mark Jacobsen at Godzilla Motorsport....simply awesome results.

Are you talking about the Gas Motorsports Solara?

If so who did the tuning for that, was it Phil Laird, Joe Signorelli or someone from titan or elsewhere?

No...Tony Wedlock...TRD Aurion its called now, its a bit hard to get the Solara name out of my head. Its the ex Matt Scranton car from the states. It runs a V88 Vi-PEC with the 18 injectors squirting methanol, twin M&W drag 6 cdi's, M&W coils and an AEM wideband controller.

Mark actually did the initial tune on his chassis dyno and further tuning was done after each run at the strip using the data from the logs. Running a methanol car on a chassis dyno in an enclosed environment was no fun...it took days for my eyes to recover.

yeah, mackeye is still 5hrs away tho lol. we have recently got a 4wd dyno into town but i dont trust one of the tuners:(

Simple...arrange to hire the dyno from the owner and fly Mark up for the day. This is how we get him to tune our cars down here. Maybe organise another car to get done as well and share the cost between you and them.

Well, after working it out, hiring the dyno for 8hrs at $165hr, return flights to sydney at $849.70 and the cost mark will charge its gonna be a real killer. Im actually located in Gladstone, Central queensland, smack in the middle of everything lol Just weighing up the option of putting it onto a truck and sending it somewhere, to get it to brisvegas is gonna cost me 741 smacko's one way inc insurances. Still waiting on how much to get to other places

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
