Didn't you hear Noel ? He has a turbo'd micra that makes 50hp on 25psi of boost. The turbo is actually a specially designed straw that he blows into while he's driving. He gets them for free from the Baskins store.

that was lame :D

more effort is needed in that :)

The HDI Boost Controllers are quite a reasonable base model electronic boost controller however quality I was a little weary of. In my case one of the adjustable knobs failed and basically did nothing. I never bothered fixing it as shortly after that I pulled my car off the road and it didn't have the features i needed.

Basically work out the boost you want to run, work out the features you would like it to have, narrow it down to those options then work out which one you want. Asking such a broad question isn't going to get you the best answer.

As a few others have said I quite like the Blitz ID-III as well. But it depends on your application and budget you might not need to go that overkill.

Gizzmo MS-IBC II

best bang for buck and apparently it can be used for up to 4bar (like who is going to use that.... but anyway)

There's a Euro 8sec GTsT that uses it so it must be reasonable at worst,

Scramble modes, bar, psi and Kpa readouts, 8 presets, Anti-Spike, Gain and Duty settings, Auxiliary remote which can be programmed etc etc... Small black box with simple blue led display. easily hid.

My mech wanted me to fork out the 900-1200 bux for an AVC-r, but that was because he was an Apexi dealer.

The Gizzmo unit does the job and I haven't heard many negative reviews.

      Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...

      I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.

      Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.

      OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.

      Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
