zebra im not looking at a new ecu to make more power, 340klw at the wheels is plenty for what im doing with the car im just after better drivabilty i feel AFMs are just not consistant at giving accurate readings for the ECU which results in the car feeling sluggish at times,and yes they are new items.

choyda did yo have a powerFC before u got the vipec?

keep us updated on how your car turns out matt

cheers for the feed back guys!

Fair enough, Although many people say they loose drivability going MAP based with GTRs, they are bit tempremental in regards to where the MAP sensor is plummed into.

Hi,

I had the stock ECU and changed to Vipec to suit my mods. I did have a Power FC (no d-jetro) on my GTT. Certainly with the vi-pec the car drives like its standard (smoothness wise), seems to cope with different temps, cold starts, humid days much nicer than my Power FC did.

The tune also gives me surprisingly good fuel economy for a GTR anyway. I didn't have great economy in by GTT... could have been the tune though.

Not using the TPS as a correction with a MAP sesnor.

Guilt-toy is the v88 a plugin? if not do i need the v88 or will the v44 be fine?

V44 will be fine for a road car...same as we run in our street/circuit gtr with over 450awkw.

The only advantage of running a V88 is its direct fire ignition and the fact you have heaps of inputs and outputs for control/sensors etc.

Interesting, I need to go for a drive in a Vipec car that has had 1-3 hours of tuning. Be it Motec, Autronic, Microtech or Wolf (Never been in a car with a ViPec) the MAP sensed and tuned cars traditionally seemed to always require more dyno and road time to get the tune to the point where you got the drivability of the AFM Pfc and the fuel economy.

I do believe about 75% of it is in the tune and 25% of it the ECU. So if the ViPec and some of the softeware allows it to be quickly tuned and accurately tuned then that is a big bonus.

I have a Vipec V44 plug-in on my Stagea 260RS (R33 GTR engine). I also had the problem with the aircon clutch relay, but it's easy to fix. I believe the next runs of ECUs will have a fix for this anyway (if it's not out already). Either way, it's no biggy. Yeah, you don't have to wire in a wideband O2 sensor, but there are heaps of features you can access when you do. I just picked an Innovate one for $200, so will be wiring that in soon to trim my tune a bit more. I went from stock ECU to Vipec and it really does drive as smooth as stock. Mine has been tuned as mentioned above. 2 maps, 1 with TPS vs RPM and the other MAP vs RPM.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
