Toffy, depending on price, i might be interested, i am loking into a JAYCAR IBC whcih has same functions so this would do nicely

Just buy a GIZMO cobber,

you cant go past them for the price if your wanting a cheaper EBC.

What is the manual valve you have at the moment???

i got a turbotech one. But pissed that off. I plumed the stok one back in and it seams to work DAM well, full boost at 3000rpm and holds well butthen comes up to 12@5000rpm and bleeds off.

How much do the gizmo ones go for and where is the best place to get one. I was actually looking at getting a JAYCAR IBC and using teh stock selenoid to controll the boost. Failing that, i have heard good things about the nyew HYBRID stuff form HongKong.

So wait and see. At the moment the car is fine, i am still going to do a wasted spark convertion as soon as i have any extra money, Better spark, more burn=more power.YEHHHAAA

Its strange mate you must have the only Turbotech valve that hasnt worked :/

I was running 1.5bar with no problems at all and never sawy any spike (its actually very hard for these to spike cause there a nuamatic valve, not a bleed valve) so unless you crimped a pipe or something with it, or the spring and or ball bearing was knackered i dont know.

GIZMO are the goods go and talk to Steve @ Autobarn, tell him i sent ya in and to use his sharpest pencil :)

The Jaycar ones are goood on a budget but there isnt that much more you can do with that compared to the GIZMO, i haven't heard anything of the new HYBRID EBC but im always worried about stuff that comes from HK as you never really know if you buying legit or a copy :sick:

yeah well i might invest in another turbotech one and see what happens. Who knows ayy?

Did you leave your restrictor in or took it out?

Just borrow one cobber (you can borrow mine) to check and make sure. That way if it is a dicky spring or ball bearing then you will know without spending another $30.

There are so many out there and some are running big numbers without spiking or dropping boost so who knows.

Well i have not done anything about it yet, but basically you get a VN or an AU S1 coils, withc are about $75 a set of 6, some new plug leads, and an ignitor, get a plug to rewire the stock ignition to the standard plugs, and you got wasted spark. So cylined 1 and 6 fier at the same time ect ect. Simple efective and CHEEEP $200 all up.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
