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:

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
