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.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
