OK, correct me if im wrong but this is my understanding for the huge price difference inbetween these two products....

The Turbo smart product is basiclly a bleed valve (or two in the dual product) which bleeds air from the moment 1psi is reached alot like a normal bleed valve. Making the car reach its pre set bleed value. Not the fastest way to reach the boost value required...

AVC-R on the other hand is all electronic and has an electronic bleed valve which wont bleed any air until the boost value is achieved therefore because no air is bleeding during build up to set value the boost will come on faster....

For example, if 10psi is set then the car will boost to 9 or 10psi with no bleed and then the electronic valve will kick in the hold that value. Also will stop any boost spikeing.... Yeah

If this is correct then i will buy the AVC-R...

The other advandage is that the boost value can be set in cabin which is an odvious advantage and theres no stuffing around with setting the bleed. (ie. pull over and turn the dail a little until the boost is achieved)

Im pretty sure this is the way they work. But i also under stand that their are many other types like a G-Reddy E-Boost product and of course there are many others.

Can you state which youe think is the better product and price and why???

Thanks

OK i have found the price of a Brand New AVC-R using the one of the sponcers web sites and its only $646.15 AUD plus shipping of about $40... Pretty cheap really....

Anyone got any thoughts of were i might buy a new one in Australia tho.... Im not sure if i can wait a few weeks for it to come from Japan...?

Or can someone suggest a better or similar product and give a price and location of where i may get one... And why you would choose this over say the AVC-R???

So you would only use an AVC-R....

Is that what ya saying...

I dont mind paying a bit more if i can get it now...

ie. Autobarn Virigina said they will do one for $980 neat.... I think ill just buy it from them... In case you have a problem you then have someone to take it back too...

I under stand what auto barn does... but at least if they send it its their problem...

Cost of postage, if it goes missing... blah blah blah...

Anyway i get auto barn vouchers from work... I will only take a month to get $1000 so its really free when you think about it.... Thats why i really wanted to buy it from them... Cause it will cost me nothing...

Like i get my oil, filters and stuff they every service cause it costs nothing...

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
