ECU replacements like the Microtech offer boost control via I assume the factory bleed valve. I'm wondering if I should sell my Profec-B controller after I get an ECU replacement that has boost control, or would it go considerably better if I left it in place?

Depending on how much power you are looking at the SBC-iD with the optional controller can set different boost levels in different gears to reduce wheel spin, monitor temperatures, do 1/4 mile time runs, 0-100 runs, erm voltages, scramble, lots of other things its also got a spedo. It also has an Auto mode which you dial in the PSI that you want and a manual mode.

It has a few different reading that it can display. PSI is the good one, I don't think any other boost controllers display the PSI do they?

I'm happy with just the SBC-iD that I have, it takes a little bit to get the gain right so that it doesn't spike then have to build up again but once you get it right it keeps boost dead flat well within 1/4 of a psi depending on how you are driving. It never goes over the set boost but.

It is important when the unit is in learn mode you give it full stick in first esp and second!

ALSO.

I actually used a 5 pin PS1 type plug (PS2 I tried but was too small) chopped the cord going from the Hand controller to the Control unit and now I can plug in and unplug when I feel, i.e dropping the car off or when getting pulled over by police.

I've also got it rigged up to the old Manual Bleed Hi/Low Boost switch that is down on the center console hidden on the side.

sorry dribbled on a little :D

Thanks for the advice guys. To keep costs down and not complicate things too much I think I'll just leave the Profec in for now, and wire up the S-AFC that's been sitting in its box since I got it a few weeks ago. I have to pay for part of the respray of my car so I can't really afford any extra expenses right now.

I know that I could almost break even if I sold the S-AFC and Profec (had offers for both already) and bought a new ECU, but it's all a bit too complicated and I might find that I've lost some of the stuff I want on the Profec. Next year I'll probably sell the S-AFC and get a new ECU and keep the Profec.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
