Done this a few weeks ago, great little mod, it gets rid of that peaky feeling and gives the car a smoother power curve.it is a bit dangerous in the wet tho hehe

Havnt had any problems so far which is good

Nice mod paulr33

i have a question mite sound like a bit of a tool but anyway.. the 7 on the factory boost gauge is that 7psi because the unit is in mmhg or something like that so how do u convert it to psi?

yep i did this mod like 2 weeks ago and its great! ran a wire through the firewall and attached it to a 2 way switch.. up for hi boost, down for low.. haha it works a treat! i dont use hi boost much any way.

ill post some pics up this week. :( its really really simple. took me umm 10 mins all up.

  • 2 weeks later...

i just have got around to doing this mod, and works like a charm, very easy, and i can feel the difference for sure, just to help, i have a series 2 1997 r33, it is the black wire. i just used rubber shrink tube over my wires and looks very neat and safe.. thanx for the mod info!

half way on the factory gauge is approximately 7psi

+7 on the gauge is ~14psi

hey is this true?, when the gauge is up to +7 thats 14psi?, damn, mine has always went to the +7 and i do not have a aftermarket boost controller or blled valve?, any one know why this is happening?, i do not know all my mods in the engine, but there is a dump pipe that has one pipe going of the side to the same pipe and both sides going to exhaust?, i did hear a guy say the internal `waste gate was takin out?, but i dunno, havent looked and i cannot see any external wastegates any were? help?

yea thats what i was just thinking, killed my friends wrx, so think im running to high.. hahah damn, thanx for clearing me up about the stock gauge, never knew that at all.. wonder why they just dont make the gauge to 7psi reading as they want you to run that :whistling:

hey dezz thanx 4 that. still shocked that the +7 is 14psi, ive always thought it was 7psi, hehe.. i couldent find any info on the net about the stock gauge and what nissan mean on there stock boost gauge reading

looks like im, boosting a bit to much,, hehe, found this: 700 mm/Hg, which is about 13.5 psi. and 400mm/hg is around 8psi.. cool i get it.. crazy factory gauge can go to 13.5. found some info after 3 hours of looking,,. just incase any one else wants to know and this happends while moding .. thanx dezz!!

Edited by seriesII

just did this little mod, just did a T connection with the black earth wire and grounded it, it worked, its just a little mod for better response low down, its mnot gonna win u guys races, I dont know why you bother with the switches...not worth the hassle, if you want a switch get a in cabin dual stage boost controller.

Gr8 simple mod, cheers!

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
