Hi all,

I was looking at purchasing one of these however I am second guessing my decision ...

I would like to know if this is just a glorified bleed valve with an electronic bypass ... the way the diagram looks it seems to bypass air through a pneumatic bleed valve once the rocket switch is turned on?

Can anyone verify?? I asked the company selling them but they haven't replied yet...

yeah that i figured ... but if it is increasing boost by bleeding air off through a PBV then it would just be stock (wastegate setting) and bled off setting ... what I'm concerned about is that it doesn't look like there is any feedback to control the boost pressure...

I believe full EBC's use a stepper motor to get control resolution, they also use much more than a switch for logic. Remember this circuit is DC, the solenoid is only going to have two states from such a switch, open or closed (new boost pressure or back to stock...etc)

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.

      Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.

      I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
