Sorry if this has been covered to lazy to read the whole 10 pages but can this ecu be used with auto equipped cars or strictly manual only and is there a price list somewhere for all the different models

all but the auto r34...which is being worked on and will be released soon.

the plug in is a board...needs to be installed into a STD Nissan case.

so by that we need 2 have an original ecu 2 fit it into or will they b fitted in 1 when we buy it as im gona get when when i have the money but my car has a power fc and dont wana pull it apart as i wanna sell it after i fit the vipec

interested to see differences between PFC and Vipec on a street GTR. Anyone have before and after data?

i should be able to post up details next week sometime afteri get the vi-pec installed in my 32r

just waiting for a date nd time for the install

Got a little bit of news on the V66...yes its based on the V44 but is a special one off item specifically designed for the Skyline and features direct fire ignition. I was worried it might be a wasted spark set-up but no its direct fire. Still a couple of weeks before i get some in stock...illl let you know when its here.

Paul,

According to the documentation ( http://www.vi-pec.com/techdata/Vi-PEC_Niss...-GTR_PlugIn.pdf ) it does run as a wasted spark setup.

The base model Nissan GTS-GTR VX Plug-In ECU has four

ignition drivers. This means that on a six cylinder engine the

ignition coils are run in a wasted spark configuration. For future

upgrade reasons Ignition 3 and Ignition 4 channels are joined

together.

(page 22 of the PDF)

Also neither the documentation nor the website says if you can use the launch control with the V66.

Does the Anti lag come included as standard?

Can it do boost control (if it does is it supplied with the solenoid?)

Is it supplied with the intake air temp sensor? (basically what is the unit supplied with?)

Finally, do you have a price yet?

The only feature I see of this ECU, that is beating the Adaptronic e420c, is the auto gearbox control.

And hey, the e420c costs around $1290RRP, with the plugin loom, runs map, boost control, launch control, traction control, dual maps, will do what you want it to when it sees knock, so many features in the Adaptronic.

Closed loop idle, fuelling changes dependent on temp.

All software and upgrades free, and when you get on there forums, or ring the business, you either speak to the Owner, or the 3 guys working for him. All of whom are into there cars, and extremely good at there jobs of fitting the ECU.

So the question for me, deciding between these two ECUs if I was going to, would be "Is $700 more worth it for the auto gearbox control" for me, no it isn't, I run a manual, for the auto guys, it might just be, but you just leave your stock ECU piggy backed in to run the auto and save $700...

I hadn't managed to find the final price, as I got to page 4, and got sick of the one sided bias coming from Dirt Garage who kept knocking everyone down if they passed a comment he didn't agree with... But hey, that's what sales is all about, pushing your point of view...

Its a shame, but I have been contacted by Autronic's solicitors about a post in this thread. I have had my solicitors look over the request and have been advised that it is a reasonable request and not worth disputing. Its for that reason that the post has been removed.

It upsets me that as we are all enthusiasts in the same industry that this had to be requested via a legal third party.

Carry on.

Yeah the distributor assured me it was wasted spark...i doubted it...runs good on all cars we have tested it on though. It can be also programmed to run clever features like map/temp so it will only access parts of the map as car heats up...for example on start up restrict you to a 5000rpm rev limit and as car warms up open more and more of the map.

Wow... I guess thats proof for everyone that PranK isn't paranoid, its just how it is.

v88 would provide ignition driver for each cylinder

in practice its not going to be a big issue , you may have slightly more wear in spark plugs as they fire more often . its possible on some mega hp application you may not have enough dwell (recharge) time to get enough electricity to the coil. I doubt this as many mega hp aftermarket ignition systems are wasted spark.

also a tuner once tried to explain to me that the load on the coil that is firing with nothing to ignite is much smaller , so that would explain the lack of dwell time not being an issue . but I could not really understand why load would be less.

Any news on the other questions?

lso neither the documentation nor the website says if you can use the launch control with the V66. - need to confirm

Does the Anti lag come included as standard? - need to confirm

Can it do boost control (if it does is it supplied with the solenoid?) - yes , can use stock solenoid . none supplied

Is it supplied with the intake air temp sensor? (basically what is the unit supplied with?) - yes , our ones so far have had air temp supplied

    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
    • Yes, but no. I wouldn't want an IC7, because I think they are ugly, cramped and most of the displays I've seen are garish (and granted the last bit can probably be avoided). I wouldn't want to pay for the UC10. Probably wouldn't want to pay for the IC7, for that matter. And, it's an R32. I have cable drive speedo. Although, thinking about it, that's not a big obstacle, because at least I can throw the electronic sender back into the R33 box and then find a way to emulate the original (R32 or R33) speedo head's conversion of the saw-tooth AC speed signal into the square wave that the ECU wants, without the 1990s approach of hiding a gutted speedo head behind the dash. (another Arduino project, no doubt). I like the technical aspects of the big digital dashes, but I aesthetically and just general originality and feel-wise, like the original dash enough. More? Yes, more. If I had a UC10 I'd want to make the dash look as close to the original one as possible most of the time, and only flash up "DANGER TO MANIFOLD" when it needed to. But the other aspect of the 3-DIN slot digi gauge that I'm contemplating is that I'm a tinkerer and can barely resist a project, even if I don't need to add another to the list of unfinished ones. And I think there's enough precedent of others out there that have proven which equipment works (ie, is not washed out, or slow, or prone to failure, or all the other problems that can afflict such a project). I'm not quite enough of a micro-controller tech head that I know the best way to approach all of these decisions, and so striking out on my own to achieve it years ago would have led to unhappiness. But now, it seems like a project that I can actually achieve on the first or second go, with only a few sleepless nights. And that's why I'm actively thinking about it now. I would much rather have a thing in my car that I made from more-or-less scratch that does what I want, rather than something that someone else made that does some of what I want, not other stuff I want, and/or annoys me in some fashion. If I'm going to be annoyed, I need it to be my fault, so I know who to blame, and who needs to fix it. As an example of that - I have surveillance cameras at home. No, I did not go buy a kit with a DVR and 4 or 8 or 16 off-the-shelf cameras in a kit. No, I did not want to use any sort of could service to record or access the feeds and recordings from outside the house. No, I bought my chosen cameras directly (from China, lol) and built the DVR myself using a couple of different (ie, this was attempt 1 and attempt 2 to get a system I liked) software packages, running on Linux, with the server being a virtual machine running Proxmox. I found a way to offload the image recognition part of the system to a dedicated AI processing board (a Coral TPU, for anyone who cares) with the hardware passed through to the server on the VM, motion detection offloaded to the GPU, all storage is local in the home network, accessible from outside via my own self-hosted VPN). All done so that I could seal off the Chinese cameras in their own network where they can't access the internet and dial home to the CCP and backdoor my network. All things that you can't have if you do what is commercially available. And even with all the f**king around it has still cost a fraction of what it would cost to buy commercially.
    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
