i have read through the diy section about the high boost mode with the standard solanoid, it says if you have a boost control to stop reading. i have a duel stage boost control (hi low) i have set high to 11psi and low is set to factory does that mean it is still running 5psi untill it get to 4500rpm then 7-8psi after that? or since i have added a boost controler it just runs the 7-8psi all the time??

its a turbosmart high low boost control!

If you have a boost setting of 8psi then that is your maximum boost [excepting spikes and other stuff]. Your turbo will start to boost at pretend 3500 and will be at lets say 4 psi at 4500 and will top out at 8psi at say 6000. You can rev to 7500-8000 but you won't make any more boost, it will max out at 8psi. I'd leave your boost on hi setting all the time except in the wet, then I'd use the low boost setting so that you don't wheel spin when/if it comes on hard. The low setting will have a softer power curve. But otherwise leave it on high, you don't save anything by having it on low, you only spend fuel etc when your boosting, and you don't do that all the time.....think about it. And like Nismoid says, stop reading the DIY on the standard boost solenoid, it is irrelevant to your vehicle.

wouldn't i use more fuel in high boost then low boost? i uses low boost most of the time to save a lil fuel! or doesn't it matter being in high or low boost with fuel usage?

im thinken about changen the boost control to a different duel stage, one that i can hav a low setting lets say 8psi and high 11psi

cheers

i would say it'd still chew the fuel reguardless of the amount of boost ur running, either way you're put is still down. if you want to save fuel just dont drive it hard. no point spending extra money on a dual stage boost controller if all you want it for is fuel economy on the lower boost setting.. my 0.02c neways

bah just set it to 11psi daily!

SIF turn it down for the wet, that is what the right foot is for - control :)

Yeah and then you have a puck clutch, stopped at an uphill set of lights and the car behind you is highway patrol and did I mention it was wet..............hahaha :domokun:

I didn't manage to explain myself out of that one, the only thing that stopped the grunt from going over my whole car was the rain!!!

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
