Got a R34 gt-t atm that has a microtech hard wired to it and after having lots of issues with black smoke and generally running bad i went to vern at dynolink in townsville. Got it running heaps better but still not 100%, he recommended switching to a Link ecu for better boost control and other nifty stuff. Just wondering if anyone has had much experience with this brand of ecu and whether it worked well for them.

Cheers

Although from what you are describing the tuner is quite possibly to blame for your problems, for informations sake I am running a now phased out base model version of the plug in Link (GTSLink) and my car runs really well with it - the new G4 series links are very very good, there are a lot of "high end" track/drift/drag and street cars in NZ running them already and tuners/owners alike sound very happy with them so far.

^^^ agreed the link is very good, i have ahd no issues so far and they are worlds above many of the other ecus at the same price, in fact i like the link better than haltech. The link cant be too bad as other respected ecu gurus now sell them as vipec.

i believe your microtech is an older MTX model without even "Matrix" mode ..... ie it has 15 odd load points , no rpm correction except WOT RPM off set ... and cruise corrections ..... IE Bloddy hard to make a nissan run nice with......

I currently run the original GTSLink also , but am awaiting arrival of the new G4 plugin to replace it.

The new links are a pleasure to tune, and have some really great features..... Either way you wont know your car afterwards ! Terrific investment.

      Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣

      Rv37 400r questions

      By sonicii · Posted

      Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      By admS15 · Posted

      If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
