Hi all

before i start ill just say i have a r33 95 with one of those turbotech boost controlers

i was running 10 psi quite confoirtable since i bought it and during my drive home frpom work i noticed the car not pulling as hard as usual . so i planted it and npticed i was only hitting 5-6 psi max... pulled over, lifted the hood to notice the boost controller adjustment twirly me thingwas very loose and with one more revolution could have come completely off.. anyway fixed it up tightened the twirler and jumped back in the car only to notice i was still running the same boost (5-6 psi) , anyawy i kept on pulling over and adjusting the boost cotroller about 5-6 times and not noticing any differance in boost.... ?????

Am i missing sometihng here ??? why isnt my boost adjusting ??? its probably sometihng really simple but ill ask someone who has more of an idea than me

cheers

Tim

iv heard a lot of problems with those ones ... they dont hold boost or anything - piece of shite . i have a gfb and i was in my mates car who has a $30 mbc and you can tell it shits on all the others out there - im pissed i spent $100 on the gfb . you will know the difference when you put an mbc on or leave the stock running - you will feel an amazing amount of power loss. im feeling the same problems some times = im yet to get this boost controller - but this 1 has a fat adjustment bolt and holds so well.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
