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).

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
