Hi all,

Installing boost controller and PFC and getting a tune in the next few weeks. I've been told any 'in-car' engine management is illegal so I was wondering if any of the WA lads have had trouble with this in the past and where you may of mounted yours on your R34 to best conceal it.

I have a profec b spec 2 if this affects anything and I suspect that once tuned I wont be touching it much (low boost at 5 high at maybe 12 on stock turbo).

I suppose normal place is under the steering wheel or either side of it but this is pretty noticeable from what I've seen, maybe could get away with saying its a turbo timer =/

Cheers in advance, any pics will help greatly guys.

ta,

Steve

Turbo timers are technically illegal as well. Usually get away with them if they dont f**k with the alarm/immob. though.

For boost controller....well I've wedged in front of the ash tray, the R34s are a bit different though. If you have a pocket under your CD player, go in there (like this turbo timer):

But if you're rarely going to touch it, put it in the glovebox maybe ?

Hey man,

I have managed to pass the pits with both a turbo timer and boost controller in plain sight. Police didn't even bring it up when I was pulled over (I was stickered for a different reason)

So stealth is cool for looks, but I wouldn't stress about it

Blitz boost controller is on top of my steering column, so I can see/change boost levels (gauges are fkn homo IMO)

PFC hand controller is in the passenger glove-box.

Turbo timer is built into the alarm system.

Had no problems through the pits.

Yeh, thanks Brad that would be awesome.. although to improve the ability to read it easily I was thinking on top of the drivers side-view mirror with a bit of double-sided tape then I can wind down the window and reach out and set it as I require.

And Bubba.. you should smother paint over some bewbz and use it as an advertisement for your business, i'd definitely come play if I believed there would be paint-smeared juggaloons..

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
