Yep that was Sub boy - a fellow Skylines Downunder member who lives near the Link factory. I would trust him but fair enough if you don't want to.

No disrespect meant by it. just have been burned before with money and the internet. Least if its in aus i can go see them ;)

Oh right - he's a good man, I believe he works for NZEFI who actually are a reputable Kiwi company

New Zealanders are dodgy and paranoid.

:pirate: Arrrr!

I've never used a Link/ViPec so I can't comment :)

I've used, tuned nistune/haltech/adaptronic/powerfc

But Lithium swears by them and I trust his judgement.

Refer to above quote, hahaha ;) But yeah, I've only tuned PowerFC, ViPEC and Link out of that list and the Link/ViPEC are really nice to use and it seems they are in a development phase post G4+ release.... I suspect the G4+ base (ie, ViPECs too) is going to get better and better with coming firmware updates.

No point over doing what you are getting if it costs a lot more, you don't have much to spend, and you aren't going to use the features - but IMHO an ECU like this is a one time purchase so you may as well do it right the first time... as it can be a pain feeling held back if you decide you could have done with more.

$800!!!!! is there any other way to feed input to the VIPEC using the factory knock sensors? cant see why it doesn't use them if they exist on the car?

i am not paying $800 for knock sensor input

You're not paying for the input you're paying for the ability to analyse the input - other similar products are $1000 or more.

If you want a cheaper product this is less than 1/3 the price:

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
