Just wondering if the Apexi PFC for the R34 GTT is still available...

Tried searching on the forums and found out it's been discontinued...DAMN!

Also, are these a full replacement ecu or a piggyback?

Can this control boost or will i need a boost controller like the AVCR to controll it?

And what is the point of a hand controller?

I'm not a tech head when it comes to cars so i don't know what i would be doing with the controller.

I'm tossing between the AVCR or the Blitz SBC id III

Any issues with these controllers?

Hoping i can make it a 3 port solenoid thingy... <-- if that makes sense

Also, my car doesn't have the RB25DET Neo Rocker cover for the engine.

How much will it cost for me to find and install one?

With my old car (WRX) we had issues with the AFM when we had an oil based pod filter installed on our cars.

It killed the AFM. Any such issues with the R34? And i can't seem to find any info on which POD gives the best results or the like. Maybe my search isn't that great. And are there any Cold Air intake options for the car or is there no point?

Some people seem to still be running their stock airbox/filter.

Please advise - i know that there are going to be differing opinions. But i am a noob and i would like to know.

And how good is the stock BOV? how much boost can it handle?

AND LASTLY, is Earls a recognised brand? Whats the country of manufacture? I think i've heard of it but not so sure. Because i have an earls oil cooler but i dunno if it is a relocation kit as well. Trying to find info...It's also painted blue.

Thanks guys,

Hope to meet up soon

Pretty sure PFCs are still available for the ER34.

I have had both the AVC-R and the Blitz ID3.

The Blitz ID3 is better by a country mile ! I hated the AVC-R. Besides dual solenoids gotta be better than single solenoid !! :(

For boost controllers the new HKS EVC is up there as well, im considering changing to it to try it out later on.

Stock bov is good as long as you keep the stock piping. No need to change.

NEO cover aint expensive and it is only a matter of 4 bolts to "install" I THINK I have mine lying around somewhere if I can find it and the bolts its yours.

Earls are a pretty reputable brand, im pretty sure most workshops use them for their braided lines and connectors, valves etc.

So which Boost controllers have 3 solenoids? Or can i just buy a boost controller and buy the solenoid seperately?

And i already have a am radiator, GReddy FMIC...so i guess i may need a new BOV if i up the boost...

And is your cover in good nick? How much you chasing for the bolts and cover?

Even if you have a greddy fmic as long as you have kept the stock cross over pipe that the stock bov is attached to, there is no real need to change it.

I went through that phase, I had a GFB and a Type RS in the end I changed it to back to the stock one.

I currently have a Type R because I went for a high mount turbo and could not keep the standard piping or the bov.

I kind of mucked around with the cover and I painted it myself, haha yeah I got bored. The condition aint too bad, but like I said its yours if I can find it, meaning you can have it. Im not about to haggle or chase after someone for $20 or so.

PM me if your interested. When I go back to my parents house next week Ill have a look for it and get back to you.

shonen - wot front bar is that on ur 34?

As for the NEO cover - it may have been removed due to the FMIC piping on the top if ur running a FMIC. If not and u r after the cover, i have a S2 R34 one sitting on my shelf. Pm me if ur keen.

Does it look any different?

Yes Series 2 R34. They have some minor differences to the S1, has more torque i believe, tacho n speedo n gauges is silver, NEO cover is completely silver no red writing, looks better IMO but mine's off anyway.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
