Guys done the search but not a lot about pros and cons (just problems)

Can anyone enlighten me on what they believe would be the best EBC for a GTR running twin -5s. Max boost will be 2 bar.

I have been using a PFC EBC and am not happy with it so looking for an informed change.

Thanks in anticipation.

blitz dual solenoid boost controller and make sure its the spec r version not the spec s, holds well up to about 36psi, profec bs2 is good for the money but if you got the extra cash you can get the blitz spec r version, i think they are like $450+ or something but correct me if im wrong,

cheers tony

why arent u happy with the PFC boost kit?

you set the duty, set the boost and drive

what more is there to it ?

Yup that was my theory to. May have a dud as it will actuate (you can hear it working) sometimes and other times not. Wiring has been gone over and seems ok, solenoid fires on 12 volt, ..... Just lost confidence in it.

Rather than risk a lean out due to overboost if it does play up another unit seems a safer option.

profec B is good and very cheap. the blitz spec R and spec S are pretty average in my experience. the blitz SBD ID III is not bad though. but personally I still prefer the profec B II. I have it in both my GTRs.

here is my boost curve from some time back. if you can get a flatter boost curve than that, well done! also note how sharply it ramps onto boost, but still doesn't over shoot the target. very hard to get a controller to do that.

Im also looking for a boost controller and was deciding between a boost controller or a PFC (ER34 GTT) which is more feasible anyway? And do we need to have a dyno tune after the installation of the boost controller?

That line is almost as flat as my boost line in the gtr running of just the wastegates (no boost controller at all)

Nice :D

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
