So far this is what i know:

1) Connect the Apexi map sensor (included in kit), if you have an r33 find the sensor that runs the stock boost gauge then run a T peice of the hose that connects to it. Then run the hose to the Apexi map sensor. If you dont have an r33 then use the hose that you run your boost guage off. Next you need to connect the apexi map sensor to your PFC (cable included and there is only one in the kit that will fit).

2) Connect the apexi boost solenoid, simply replace the stock solenoid with the apexi one. NOTE, you may have to change the posi of the ports on the solenoid depending on you setup. (see the guide on the US apexi site for the AVCR). You plug the apexi solenoid into the plug that the stock solenoid used. If the plugs are not the same it probably means that you have a solenoid for the GTR and you might have to cut the wires and solder them.

3) Tuning, go to the boost menu on the hand controller. Set the desired boost level in BAR. Go for a run under good load in third gear. If you do not get the boost you wanted then increase the base duty, if you over boosted then retard the base duty. NOTE: If you increase the base duty too much then your boost controller will spike, but if you dont have enough base duty then you wont come on boost hard enough. You dont have to get it exactly right though as the boost controller will learn the right boost curve after a couple on runs.

I am in the process of doing the above and I hope it all makes sense. If you have any further questions about the install then send me a PM. Chances are that I would have had the same problem.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
