guys..!

i have a manual boost controller and a GFB BOV...

and i do NOT know how to fit them, was wondering if anybody out there would want to do it for me in exchange for a couple of brewies or $$$ and if nobody can do that or can be bothered to do it tell me how much it will cost at a workshop?

also, my GT-T has a standard boost gauge, would i have to get one that runs over 1 bar to use the boost controller more efficiently and are there any problems if i use the standard one?

(reason i ask this i think stock i'm running 7psi but i wish to run at around 12psi...)

the BOV apparently has to get welded on to my engine too, it's just the trumpet thing and i don't have an aftermarket cooler SO...

any suggestions out there? for those that don't know me i'm not the most literate person mechanially

all advice will be genuinely appreciated, thank you

Andrew :D

hey mate,

I wouldn't go running your car at 12 psi without a bigger intercooler otherwise you could get engine knock which is bad also would suggest getting an aftermarket boost guage as that way you can monitor the boost better than the stock one. Running the car at about 10 psi should be fine and not cause any damage to the engine.

The bov should just bolt up where the stock one goes but not knowing too much about rb25s i wouldn't be able to tell you.

If wou need a hand with anything send me a pm and i can help you out

:D

Matt

just a precaution but if you wind up your boost you should get it on a dyno to check air/fuel ratios. so it is better to get a workshop to do the lot. i use IN TUNE PERFORMANCE. they are in the workshops list below. he charges 88/hr and about 80 bux for a check on the dyno

hey guys, thanks for the kind advice...

guy, everything's always easy isn't it? haha so how about that suspension?

i don't think i can live without my suspension man!

umm... matty, i'll send you a pm... i can't afford $88 an hour right now especially for a job like this so i'm sure me and you can work something out...

if anybody else out there has any nice words they'd like to say you're more than welcome to, please do so...

Andrew :D

Suggestion: Get an adaptor if you want to install the bov or use silicone pipe! Backyard welding doesnt look the best and you dont want your r34 to look like sh*t under the hood do you? Be wise and get it done properly the first time!!! Save if you have to!

what do you need done to your suspensions?

if your changing to coilovers or something like that it is really easy job, just need a socket set, a jack and about 1hr of your time (maybe less, maybe more)

but remember if you change any suspension parts you will need a wheel alignment, i changed to a different set of coilovers and ended up with some massive toe out

lol guy is the one that is after suspension...

i have mine in yet i have no f*cking clue what type os setup it is *shakes head* god i'm useless...

alright wel i'm set about getting the BOV and MBC in, i'm also thinking (and hope all you guys out there can help me with this one)...

my car is due for it's major service (100,000km's) so should i save up some $$$ and get the FMIC and get all 3 (FMIC, BOV and MBC) all in at once then tune it at the same time with my major service and has ANYONE got ANY idea as to how much this will cost and how much longer i can drive my car until i SERIOUSLY need to change the stuff for the major service...?!?!

danny at imports101 changed a lot of my stuff around before he sent the car to the pits, only things he said i needed to change was the timing belt and i think that's it, all the filters and coolers and fluids and everything were already done i think around 8,000km's ago...

never mind, any idea how much my mechanical desires will set me back?

rough estimate is okay, will go to danny i think for the major service and fitting of all that stuff

cheers,

Andrew

if someone has a reasonable offer then yeah i'm selling the car...

BUT i'll be doing things slowly if nobody buys yet ie. FMIC, BOV, MBC and also probably different kit + paint and some interior goodies etc.

you guys know how it is, for now though i've had some offers that aren't tempting enough so i might play with the car until i see a cash offer

i'll be ringing a few workshops tomorrow eh

:D

hey also andrew if you wanted to do it yourself or not have to pay a garage to do it my housemate and i would do it for a small fee (only because timing belts are time consuming to change) we live just around the corner of where you saw us the other day. Send me a PM if your interested

    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol   
    • Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.
    • Thanks for the details mate , for me I think being a daily driven and happy with a basic tune (630Nm and 310kw) . Seems to be working well I just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 should help put the power down. I'm going to start looking a brakes and LSD in the future so I might reach out to you on options to upgrade the brakes. Cheers - Dee   
    • I have a HR34 GT... RB20DE My speedo doesn't work! The rest of the gauges seem to work, fuel and RPM. I did not notice if my odometer was going up when driving last.  Any ideas? Speed sensor? Hopefully atleast... Gauge cluster perhaps? Or is that unlikely because the other gauges are working?   Any insight is appreciated. This is a rather new to me car. Lol
