I beg to differ that. Paul uses the pfc boost controller kit as well and doesnt seem to have much problem with it. If the kit is shit, AVCR would be shit as well since they're using the same piece of gear except the AVCR has a display and more functions. But yes for the price of the pfc boost kit, you can get a profec b or any other EBCs.

I would say the reason why people opt for the pfc boost kit is that it doesnt come with a display and makes the whole car looks stocker (if you know what I mean). And yes, having an aftermarket ECU doesnt make much difference unless you get it tuned (sorry I didnt mention that).

Hey I'm not saying anything, it's all based on personal opinion personally I've never used the AVCR and I was going to get the Power FC add on since they use the same solenoid I'm just going by the dyno sheets from trent at status "A top notch tuner here in Melbourne" and well you have a look http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/El....html&st=20 I'm not saying that I think it's shit its just what the overall verdict seems to be but in no way I'm I banging on it, I guess it comes across that way and I apologize I just feel like there are loads of other EBC's at practically half the price of the AVCR which SEEM to be doing a better job, maybe the if the situation is different or different factors come into play the AVCR or PFC add on will be more suited, sorry if I offended anyone

Woah. Nah I'm not offended or something but its a gamble that I would take personally. I've read that before and still decided to take the boost kit way. Will update again when I get it tuned. Like I've mentioned before, my objective is to keep the car as stock looking as possible additional display is out of the question. And it was mentioned that they only perform poorly under high boost condition which most of us will never see (above 20psi?).

I agree with the price though, if you're not particular about display like me, just get the gizzmo 1 or profec like anyone else does and it'll do the same thing.

Well the Gizzmo IBC comes with a screen and goes for about $300 from modyourcar.com.au its where I'm getting mine when I get the cash although are you keeping the stock look for defect reasons or just because it's how you like it? Your car looks absolutely mint BTW

Thanks. Keeping mods out of sight for defect reasons. Dont want any problems with the boys in blue. I'll try to hide the solenoid or spray it to make it blend to the engine bay.

      Are you an oil nerd?

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
