Hows it goin everyone. I got my GFB turbo bleed valve installed a couple of days ago, and as all you guys from melbourne would know it was around 40 degrees. I set it to 10psi and everything was fine, it was holding on 10psi up until redline.

Come yesterday when melbournes temprature droped quite a bit (dunno how much but i had a jumper on yesterday?) I got in the car to drive to a mates and when i stepped on it it spiked to about 13 or 14psi. This kind of pissed me off because what I think it means is that each time the whether changes I will need to pop my bonnet and adjust the boost ;)

Does this happen to just me? So ill advise all you guys who wanna boost your cars, dont go cheap like i did and just get an electronic boost controller from the start! ;) lol

GFB Bleed Valves aren't known to be the best and defintely spike decent amounts.... ;)

If you got a decent one (ie the cheap one we talk about on here), you wouldn't have those sorta issues.

Also, it's always best to set your boost level on a cold night... of course you're going to run a decent whack more boost on a cold night compared to the 40 degree day ;)

/bleed valve defense

the boost will always change,considering the weather conditions.it doesnt matter what boost controller you have, the car will always be much more likely to hit a higher boost on a very cold day in comparison to a hot day were the boost will not be as likley to spike.

I got a GFB Bleed Valve and Set it to 8 PSI due to my car being stock and the boost solinoid broken, mine has not spiked and holds pressure perfectly all the time. I know they GFB Bleed Valves are good when you get a good one and crap when you get a bad one, due to friends buying one after I did (dont you hate being the guinea pig).

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
