and pcm= what ?

do yu have a boost gauge to tell us what and when it drops ?

and why do you boost your car when its cold ? or were you talkin bout the weather

i don't bost cold. i warm it up for a couple of minutes in the drive way, i gingerly drive it till the coolant temp goes up to the middle of the guage and then i boost it sometimes to about 3500 (no higher) until my oil temp gets over 70 degrees. and it's in the time between the coolant reaching the meddle of the temp guage (probably about 60 degrees or around there i'd say) and till the oil temp gets to around 75-80 degrees(i change to watching the oil temperature because the coolant temp guage doesn't move any higher even though coolant temp increases) that it feels awesome. once the oil temp has sat at about 80-85 for a bit it starts to get sluggish (around the time i hear the viscous fan start to work hard) and the viscous fan (driven off the engine) kicks in at around 75 degrees on my car. is this odd? (going from a consult cable to a laptop)

and pcm = pressure control module. it's like a boost controller but factory and with the lines blocked to it the boost (on my r32 gtr) stays around .5 bar and with them unblobked (aka removing the factory boost restriction) it rises to about .75 bar

when it drops (when running temp) it drops back to about .5 bar.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
