u can't stuff it..actually you can, but its pretty hard..

as long as you have a proper boost guage you are safe (even if you borrow one and rig it in). I wouldn't recommend you muck with it without a guage though. If you install it all, take it for a spin, and the boost starts creeping too far back it off, and you'll be safe.

If you haven't got your S-AFC installed yet(?) and tuned - also be careful dialing it past about 9psi as you might start leaning out with the stock ECU (danger, danger) . If you have a 95 model you can prolly go a bit further in the boost stakes.

I fiddled around removing and putting on a couple of boost controllers (going back to stock, blah). Only time i had troubles was when i put back on my stock solenoid and got the tubing the wrong way.. When it kept spinning past 12 i knew something was wrong so i backed up to fix it all up again :P Without a guage to see this it would'a just kept spinning till nice little bits of ceramics were rattling in my exhaust.

errrrrr thats kinda scary nowww. gee's gord..with the bits and peices rattling in your zorst. thanks for your detailed info dude.. :P

always detail info you give!

sooo what should i do? get the boost controller install same time as the tuning of the safc? surely workshops will have a spare gauge i can borrow .

Where abouts in the Sth Eastrn Suburbs?....I know of one near chaddie shopping centre......

yepp. very close to chaddy. PM me with the details. cheers dude.

if you're not confident yourself, just get the place that installs the S-AFC to also install the boost controller and tune it all up as one - will work out cheaper that way. A workshop will also use their own pressure guage to check everything so you shouldn't need an aftermarket guage then (but they are a good idea)

You're close to chaddy too ..hmm, i am 5 mins away.. if you want me to quickly show you what u need to do, let me know.

pushhead if you need someone to install it and do some calibration drop me a pm or email me have all the equipment and boost guage if needed can also hook you up with a simple one nice and cheap

cheers

oh btw the install would be done in knox

aawwww thanks all for offering assistance. This shows Victoria has a great community to fellow skyline owners. The bond and friendship is great. Glad to be a victorian :)

Anyway enuff of mushy stuff, I found some installer down the road from my house.. will speak to him and see.. .

Thanks acsplit for offering to help with installation. Knox is quite close to me :D

Hey Nath dude, if you live abit closer to me (takes me like 2hours to get to your house lol damn west freeway's are confusing) i get u to look at it. Thanks for offering too bro.

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
