I thought i should post up my personal results... Yesterday i finally got my SBC ID III and installed it along with a heap of other stuff. 11 hours later i have a riced up, speced up and bloody fast machine. OK, my last skyline i decided to install an Apexi AVC-R. Nice unit, however i should point out a few pro's and con's. Firstlly the AVC-R was harder to install, it has a larger wiring harness to connect up. But it ran a wire to the boost sensor which was much easier. The SBC ID III has a simple 2 wire harness and does not need constant 12+ as it has a CMOS chip to save your settings. Which is great if you unplug the battery, also good as it does not draw any current when the car is off. So as for installation i would have to say the SBC was better. Now their installed, how to set them. Well id have to say the SBC reads in PSI/BAR/kgm2 & something else (not important) where as the AVC-R only reads and programs in kgm2. With the AVC-R you dial a boost setting and say you aim for 10psi you do the conversion anyway it does not reach the target unless you up the duty cycle. But by increasing the duty you can get boost spiking issues. With the AVC-R's learning mode it will take the car about 30 foot flat runs to reduce the spiking to almost nil. However all settings over 12psi were still spiking in learn mode. So i switch to manual, this setting has no chance of spiking, but you have to get the settings spot on. I tried to get 10psi, set to .85kg with 65% duty and you get 9.5psi up the kg to .95 and i still get 9.5psi. Now set to .85kg and up duty to 66% one more percent from original setting now you get 10.7psi. Anyway all in all takes ages to get your settings right. Also the AVC-R has 2 program modes then off so you can have as i had a dry setting and a wet setting. Its speed and gear change learning modes are crap and you would blow your motor before it learnt the speeds and gears. Now as for the SBC, it firstlly has 4 program modes plus complete auto and off. You can change the boost setting within the graph mode, dont have to go back through the menus to change the setting. Secondlly it is far more accurate. It reads peak to 2 decimal places if nessary. I am most comfortable in dialing in PSI. So the first run i dialed 10psi. Now the duty on this module was set to 35%. Anyways first time i put my foot down it launched and spun the wheels through 1st gear (255 tyres) but it hit 10psi on the nose, it read 9.9psi. So i thought id try 12psi, second run 12psi hit right on the head with absolutlly no hint of spiking. I upped the duty cycle to 50% while rolling on the highway, then flatened it in 5th at 100kph, huge responce on a high flow standard turbo. Slowed down to 80kph and droped it to 3rd gear and nailed it and almost lost the back end. It was like taking a hit up the arse. The boost came on like lightning and pushed the car up to 100kph in no time. So as for use of the unit the SBC is so much better than an AVC-R, basicilly due to its dual solinoid design and very fast processing modual. Now for the design of the visual controler. Firstlly i have to say the AVC-R takes the cake. Its screen size is awsome, the gadge display or graph or digital allows you to watch up to 4 chanels at the same time. The SBC's screen is very small almost too small. And it will only allow you to watch on graph at a time. I believe the dial type interface on the SBC makes it easier to change while driving and allows you to change settings while active (you dont have to exit graph mode to go back through the menus to change the boost, or you could change channel 1,2,3,4 easilly too. As for the packaging of the product. Well i have to say i am very pi$$ed off with BLITZ because there are only Jap instructions in the box no english. I have to search all over the net to get the installation manual in english. But the vac hosing they supply with the unit is blue silicon and looks so sweet. Overall (out of 5 stars) Bleed valve 1 AVC-R 3.5 SBC ID III 5 Have to say after using both boost controlers id never go back to an AVC-R. Value for money is there but quality is not, compaired to the SBC. I really liked the AVC-R and would swear by it as a great boost controller and i would have rated it as 5 star yesterday but now i have found the SBC kicks it to the gutter. Thanks Col

new head unit....

Exploder is the correct name for that vehicle..... I used to work for ford many years ago.... Very hard to fix problem on them cause you fit a new part and within days its toasted again. They tried too hard on making it electroniclly advanced and botched it... Its an autoelectricians nightmare...

Not on the forums strutto.... But i have a list....

The adapter does nothing for the reception changes... it simply converts the jap plug to an aussie plug... ie. I removed the original factory head unit and replaced it with a pioneer one.

I think its time for me to step up and take the stage.... Ill run...

Ok yes its true.... I have sourced the info.... True....! There are more cars than you know about tho..... (other than the SS)..... There are more like 17 cars driving our roads everyday.... Everything from a magna to a corolla

Tell em it needs the HKS twin kit $6500 is a creap upgrade really...

Maby u should play something in another program to get music too it.... or hum something in your head???

Protected house.... Nah if she was 007 then maby..... Im gonna bed.... Tired and sun burnt.... Ouch.... CYA

OK.... nice to hear.... At least you had fun....

Although the GPS alarm will tell anyone that..... I learnt the hard way about GPS alarms.... I was testing the alarm once it was fitted... Using the panic alarm and opening doors and setting it off.... ETC.... Everytime the alarm goes off i have a phone call within a minute.... They cost $7.50 per call.... Then if a activate the GPS tracking guess what... $75 for the first 7 minutes then $5 per minute there after.... Its serviced by telstra and uses a mobile SIM to send signal.... Mobile calls dont cost that much....??? Where do they get their charges from.... I reckon after being stolen then the fee and charges for the tracking id be better not knowing and getting it in a cheque form from being considered a write off....

He was gonna roll round past their place this afternoon to ask them why they were in a hurry... Then give em a ticket for doing a skid round the corner.... I told him to lay off.... But if my car goes missing.... I already know where they live......

I left the gate open yesterday morning expecting a visit from my mother.... Heard foot steps when to the front door.... There was a guy standing in my drive way taking a pic of my car... I said what are you doing.... He said "ummm sweet ride, just want a shot" I looked and there is a car with 3 guys in it (commodore) all in their early 20's... Looked like they were on the dole.... I said "Get the fu

Good.... so stay the f>>k away from my place..... LOL Nah its all good i have a 8kg dog now with lots of hair.... He may lick you to death tho.... He used to hump everyone but the vet fixed that problem...

chaos do you push if someone says NO???

My old dogs got put down due to a house to house salesman... I had a sign on the gate.... Beware of dangerous dog.... One dog bit him.... he kicked it and it was all on.... Council took them away... Legally i had no rights... Cause they said it could have been the elecrticity guy or it could have been the police or it could have been a child.... Well ill tell you rust never bit someone unless they provoked him first.... I hate door to door salesman....

Having a partner that works in a silent part of the goverment is great cause you get lots of perks. We are on a Pri 1 when ringing 000, so if my car were to be stolen they would be here in minutes.... Or..... if an axe murderer were beating down my door they would be here in seconds.... GOTTALOVEIT....

I used to generally get roof restoration mobs... or vacumm sales or carpet cleaning..... Its always when i sit down for dinner too.... I hate that.... But my phone never rings as my gf works for the goverment and we now have a protected number... (not silent... protected)

OK scanner file is 24mb... damn its a good scanner... Anyways here it is: Red wire = 12+ constant Blue wire = IG2 output (12+ on) Green wire = IG1 output (12+ acc) Gray wire = hand brake light (not nessary) Black wire = ground White wire = O2 sensor (refer to ECU dia in your car to find out where this goes, must solder this connection) Thats it....

Clint 32 i have a wiring diagram here somewhere from mine... ill find it and scan it up for ya

Hey... my mate marty bought one today... he is wrapped with the unit.... Thought i should say "Thumbs up from him" He just needs piping now.... (trust him to make me find it)

Just like to say i just picked up my strut brace tonight..... Very good quality for the price.... Very very happy and suggest anyone who does not have one and wants one... then this is your man....

Thanks

Is 337 words enough??? Thats not counting the 2 and 3 letter words???
