Hi,

Just got me a GFB ATOMIC boost controller, but I'm not game enough to install it until I have a REAL BOOST GUAGE. When I do get this (probably a Speco one), where's the best place to take the reading from, I thought of the standard BOV vac line (for ease of installation). If this is no good, could someone suggest a better posi, giving some detail of the pipes you suggest?

Thankyou, stay safe!!

Mark.

Mine is run from the fuel pressure reg.

There are a few places you could take the reading from. Maybe even where the stock boost gauge reads.

Best place to get a boost reading off it off the nipple at the back of your plenum.

And let me get this straight... You bought and installed a GFB Hybrid and hated it, but you went and bought a GFB Atomic Bleed Valve anyway??? :confused:

Hi, and yes, but both at the same time....But don't think that I won't return that aswell if it doesn't live up to their wanky, bright funky colours Web Site!!!

Cheers, I'll go off that nipple, bro.!

I have the gfm atomic on my 200sx, I removed the factory restrictors in the piping and it holds boost very well. It does however spike a little, but you have to expect that from a bleed valve, rather than an EBC which should not spike at all, if set up correctly.

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
