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.

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

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.

      Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
