hey guys, i just picked up my new skyline today... going from a NA skyline to turbo is such a big difference, a huge smile comes on my face everytime i floor it :P

I just have a few questions because im not too sure of these things - the guy said it has a boost controller but its running stock boost (0.5 bar) with a turbo back exhaust. anyway, he said the boost controller was the thing under the HKS Turbo timer (in the pic). Im not sure how to operate it tho?

also with the HKS timer - is there a auto feature where it automatically judges how long it needs to cooldown or do you just set it manually?

in the 2nd pic, theres this 'Pivot turbo timer' thing under the dash aswell... im not sure what this does if anyone could shed some light...

i know its alot of questions but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks !

You can set your turbo timer to what ever you want for Auto or you can manually adjust before you leve the car. I don't use one as I don't think they are neccesary. As for your boost controller I wouldnt go playing with the boost untill your ready to upgrade you don't want to f**k anything up.

I cant see shit from that last pic lol

I have that Pivot timer in mine, if im driving around off boost i shut her down straight away but if ive been spooling it up a bit i give it 1 min, if ive been going hard ill give it 3 min with the bonnet up.

But thats me, lol.

LOL

thats intense bro,

my timer decides on what how long to kick it for by itself,

how do you set it into Auto mode?

the HKS one has 4 buttons... UP / Down / Power / Memory

also found out on the net that the Pivot ACS-M is a Air flow conditioner and not a boost controller... cant find any info on what it does tho

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
