Like Trent, I too am interested in purchasing these items through someone other than a direct retail competitior...

Hey sam ive fitted and played with one and they are great but they are just a re-branded LINK from NZ. They tune up real sweet and the software is easy to use and quite well laid out, i certainly reccomend them but i must now compare distribution and pricing with LINK.

No surprise there.. Software was almost identical to the old G3...

The link is almost $400 cheaper though? whats the difference?

Does the $400 just get you australian based support?

Also, what about air temp sensors, with the afm gone, do you wire one in?

all vipec ecus come with a air temp sensor and plug to wire in...the gtrs use the factory air temp sensor and for rb25s use the vipec air temp sensor supplied with the ecu...

ecus can be supplied with base maps depending on your mods talk to your local vipec dealer...

and yes you do get great support from vipec dealers...

the r34 gtt manual ecus are a few weeks away... r34 gtt autos will need to run the factory ecu to control the auto and wire in a v88 ecu to run the engine....

Are any of the sellers shipping these loaded with a base map yet, similar to how the power FC is standard?

Yes we are able to supply units with base maps and also a variety of levels of tune.

Be great when you become a SAU sponsor then :P

i contribute more on here than some trader who pays $50 a month to flog their wares on here and contributes nothing.

Profit i make from Vi-PEC = $0 :)

So why would i pay $50 per month to make no profit?

If your going to police the forums at least be consistent because...

you are seen in other threads today clearly supporting mates advertising their own businesses on here...see link below

I have a ViPEC with a Greddy EBC. Works fine I guess. I was told standalone EBC's function better than the Vipec's but I can't see there being much of a difference, other than being able to switch from high to low.

I was told that you can wire in a high/low boost switch.

I was looking at the website earlier and noticed in the comaprison table between V44/V88/plug-in, that the V44 and plug-in ECUs do not have knock control. It says the V88 does, but not the others. I hope that the table wrong. Can anyone confirm? I was under the impression they all have knock control. If they don't then that's a bit disappointing as your losing a factory feature. It was also a major advantage over the Power FC and others.

Of course, if I really want knock control I could buy a V88, but then a lose the 'stealth' factor of the plug-in boards.

You can wire in a high/low switch and set up a boost table to suit.

Only the V88 has knock control, that is correct. Don't worry about the "stealth" look, you can't see my V88 ecu unless you start ripping apart the interior carpets etc.

That's a bit of a worry, because there is no means of controlling knock and no means of indicating it like you would witha Power FC. Not sure if I wanna cough up the extra $$$ for the V88, plus adapter loom. It then puts me in the ball park of other ECUs. Other than that, the Vipec does look impressive :)
