Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the vipec ecu's and how well they preform. I'm looking at installing one in my 32 gtr vspec 2 and mark from godzilla motorsport suggested it, so i'm going with him on that as it about the only thing i don't have some idea about. but i would love to hear from someone whos got one install or has some info on them.

Thanks guys and girls :D

Thanks Greg for the pm. So if you have to use the wasted spark setup does that mean that you need a new coil pack harness? In this case could i switch to a hks twin power unit and run it off that maybe? don't know much the twin power and how its setup either. if anyone knows please help.

Cheers

By the way can't pm yet, not enough posts apparently :thumbsup:

By the way would wasted spark be a bad thing? I mean the voltage needed to jump the plug gap is higher and so would end up having a better spark in theory, meaning a better burn and more power.

Thanks again Greg.

I had another look on the net and found a random forum talking about the vipec v88 and it apparently has 8 output ignition drives. Wouldn't this mean that it should be able to run the 6 coilpacks? The boost setup and ablity to run different levels of boosts in different gears would be good for lauching, especially with the lauch control as well. The Duel fuel map would come in handy as well. Still don't know much about the twin power systems but. Might try to research these some more

:cool: thanks for your help

I am running the V66 or as they call it "skyline plug in" on my R33 gtr, hasnt missed a beat, they have a fair few features and mark knows what hes doing with them.

they pull out standard ecu and replace the internals with the vipec mother board, plus straight back into the stock position and looks stock, if u are drag or circuit racing and have alot of power and a larger set up, id probably go with the V88 but its a wire in job, not plug in. but has alot more features that might be useful to you if you do either of these things.

Cheers

Darren

Thanks Darren,

I didn't even know there were more types of units. I've only heard of the v44 and v88. Think I'll have to have a good chat to Mark when I take the car in. At the moment its pretty stock and got a few goodies to go on at the same time. But in saying that I'm hoping to rebuild the engine with bigger turbos and try to run at least 10's as well as keep it a street car for the weekends of fun :cool:.

Cheers Matt

Yeah i could see that the price would be a fair bit more. I only thought there were the 2 systems and that only one worked on the skyline. but now i know better. Thanks again Greg, you've been a great help mate.

well if u discuss what your goals are with mark concerning the car im sure he will point you in the right direction with what ecu to get. for me there was no need to go V88 as im not planning on using half the features that it can provide, so for me it was not worth the extra money.

Love the way your car sits Danski! looks sweet on the rims.

So i take it that power figure was with the bigger single and the fuel and intake mods. Looks like you got a good package going and is only going to get better!

I'm going to try and keep the twin setup to maximise boost response but at yours at 3800rpm at full boost is pretty impressive

Cheers for your time

Thanks again Danski.

As for Bunta, I recently was quoted around the 2500 mark but can't really remember the actual amount. This was through Mark at godzilla motorsports and was fully installed and tuned on thier dyno. However I have led to believe that the best people to do this now adays is Murcury Motorsport and this is where I will most probably be taking my gtr. If you want more info on why pm me. Cheers Matt

Thanks mate! I have a tuner in mind so thats cool, and would probably install it myself too. I wonder who the distributers are?

The Vipec V88 series can be compared to the Motec M4-800 series, a very good ecu and a good tuner and you should have one hell of a car :)

Thanks mate. Pretty sure this is going to be the ecu i'm going to use. Should be good to finally have it in and see what it can do :P

hopefully have the car in next week

      Crank/No Start - R32 GTR Chassis with R34 RB26

      By 89GTR_VA · Posted

      Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?

      Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
