yeah revhead, regional flights are notoriously scary, especially from gladstone, its $161 cheaper if he flew to rockhampton, and thats 107km further north, sometimes i just dont get it. As for the tuning side of things, im hoping to get a tune done thats adequate and safe to drive it to a shop then mark@godzilla can do the hard yards and get me the numbers!

The reply's and suggestions have been great guys, there greatly appreciated!!

Cheers, Allan

Nah Vipec installed today.

Sorry i mean i was having afm issues before i got the vipec installed and removed them. but the 02 sensor still seems to be another issue i have to address.

P.S. i saw your plates sitting on the snap on tool box today paul! :happy:

seemed to drive better on the way home, but that wouldnt be hard to do after running dodgey air flow meters. lol

but i didnt get it tuned for max power or anything pretty much stocko still at 0.8bar , want to conserve turbos etc till i decide to upgrade. but still have to look into the o2 sensor replacement.

But yeah mark was great to deal with very helpful.

Good bloke.

yeah he said he enjoyed working for you...he thought you were a little cautious/sensible...not really the normal customer. Most say turn the boost up...i want a big number etc...you however were patient until you have turbo's upgraded and all the proper support systems in place before turning the boost up. Its a nice safe tune that will look after your hardware till you are ready to take the next step.

and having a garden ornament.

il wait till i can do it properly.

Well, it arrived yesterday! Im about to tackle the ecu install into the factory ecu case over a few rums. Looks the goods, has a good spec sheet and a few people seem to say dam good things about them. Any quick tips before i get insanely frustrated and drink myself into oblivion?

Cheers, Allan

a really hot soldering iron on the factory screws to remove them...dont forget to drill the hole for the vacuum line.

Vi-Pec is in! not so hard. i just double triple double checked everything tho! Now, im at a dilemma, do i sell off stock parts and fund a new set of -5's or do i bite the bullet, go over budget and just buy em or get a set of high flows and hope i can get my goal?? also, can anyone recomend a good...nevermind, ill make a new post. :(

i pulled a power fc out of my rig to make way for the new vi-pec..... much better ecu and i got more power an torque with better driving on the street.

highly recomend.

mercury motorsport installed and tuned my in case ur curious.

so many on here would fail to accept this is actually possible...yes it was hard for them to fathom that something designed, engineered and built this century could actually be better than a similar product from last century.

Engine control is phenomenal...the Vi-PEC made my power fc look like a bucket...but i must admit i used to be an 'FC Fanboi' too.

Heh I'm at the point of doing a fuel system for my T88 powered FD and the power FC is just not up for it.... high impedance injectors only unless you want to run dodgy resistor packs, I'm trying to run the new Siemens 2430cc as secondarys and if I stick with the power FC I'll end up having to use something like an FJO / AEM injector driver

Seriously considering an M800 as that's what my builder uses in his car, but I may explore the VIPEC V88.

hehe

marks just retuned my vipec with my new turbo (hks 2540) and new rb25det (cracked ring in old one) as well as added more goodies in (nismo 740cc's, tomei FPR)

mark is a top guy who gives you the right advice!

hey dirtgarage... is that your greeen/purple (duno what color it is) gtr that is always there.. number plates RH9? if so.. i f**king absolutely adore that car.. that thing is nuts

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
