Must have been overnight from Japan ;)

Straight from Nissan. They'll tell you it's overnight, but in reality it will take 4-5 weeks for your new boost to arrive. OEM boost though, it's worth the wait. Much higher quality than aftermarket boost.

careful with ebay, its probably made in china. not all boost is the same, chinese air is inferior to japanese air

This.

Personally I would never buy boost on ebay, chances are it's poor quality. Chinese boost is made in low-altitude factories, so it comes out much poorer than the stuff from the high-altitude factories in Japan. America has been releasing some good boost lately as well though, so could be a good time to upgrade your boost to some aftermarket American boost. Just be prepared to wait for it, America are slower than Japan when it comes to exporting boost.

And Australian Air is about to be the worlds most superior AIR with the Carbon Tax going through.......

Is this like where u pretend to ask a question for someone but that someone is really u? Nathanau is ur friend really you? Don't be shy now

hahahahaha usually people ask a question and pretend its for a "friend" because they are embarrassed to ask for them self. I see no reason to be embarrassed asking about boost? unless im missing sumfin, Mebbie i should given its an XR6 FORD hahahaah which i personally hate fords but as for cars there ok i guess, id just never own one.

I wont dirve anything but Skylines or some Italian cars :) , soon to be a GTR 34 or 35 with some clever financial accounting ( yay) and upward from there :)

Anyhows back to my mate who added Boost to his XR6 Ford...... After they installed it, apparently the car ran well on 10psi till it blew out one of the plastic pipes, so they turned off the boost. He has ordered metal pipes for the factory intercooler which get fitted today. He has also ordered an upgraded exhaust. AS for the ECU .... apparently the car runs well using the aftermarket boost so can only assume that whoever owned the car prior has had the ECU tuned ? or whatever was required to make it accept the aftermarket boost. Once he puts his new pipes in, he is going to run it on 10 PSI. I am still unsure how it will turn out after he uses the car over time. BUT in terms of technicalities so far " kinda all good" ....

Will it fit a Stagea? Can I buy some off you? If you're going to part out your car I call dibs on your boost.

You're mate still got aftermarket boost for his xr6. Shit son. Now they turned the boost off. I wonder if the aftermarket boost comes with a 12 month warranty? Do you know?

Im guessing his boost controller has a warranty but i doubt that would cover any damage the controller might cause with a backyard install job. If a mechanic did it, it would probably be covered in total.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
