Hi everyone,

just want to install Greddy Profec boost controller on my M35. here is some installation information:

actually i am not sure which is fuel pressure regulator that need to connect to boost controller. i took a picture and marked 2 pipes in red and green. could anyone told me which is correct pipe connect to fuel pressure regulator? thanks all.

Also doesn't matter. Just needs to be plumbed to the manifold somewhere to measure vacuum and boost.

Either you have marked is fine

i think i could get you. actually this is for monitor the boost in manifold? and i could also connect this vacuum with boost gauge vacuum together?

Please have a look at the attached photos. I hope this helps you with your install

thanks mate. i think i could get you. in your pic, you just changed solenoid only? For Greddy boost controller, the control unit need another vacuum pipe connect between manifold and fuel pressure regulator to measure the boost. and another question, shall i need to remove the stock boost sensor?

You dont have to remove it, I did as I replaced mine with the hdi-ebc-d due to the oem unit always malfunctioning. I haven't had an issue since replacing it with the hdi unit. The hdi unit seems like a simpler install. That hose i mentioned earlier would be the one you are looking for then if thats the case

The signal line to the ebc has to come from the manifold.

The pressure source to the solenoid has to come from the turbo.

That's important, and not very clear from above pics. What ever line you use on the manifold for the ebc makes no difference. Then use the line to the stock solenoid for the new solenoid.

Actually, I don't like using the fuel reg line for the manifold pressure reading anyway, as that long hose you are fitting can slow the reg's reaction down. Also if it leaks it will lean out your engine.

I prefer to use the front bung normally used for the stock boost gauge. You might need an adapter though, it's tiny. The BOV line is another you could use, who cares if that leaks.

Make sure you put a cable tie around the hoses to the reg, they have been popping off a lot lately.

yup. thats what i am thinking. actually it is hard to use fuel reg line due to the narrow area. i already have a new boost gauge using stock boost gauge vacuum. now i consider to use BOV vacuum for EBC pressure reading.

i know what you are talking about. actually Greddy EBC has 2 part for installation. 1 for solenoid, 1 for pressure signal reading. my original question is for pressure signal reading part. and your pic is for solenoid part. here is a part of Greddy EBC installation manual. I think M35 should use METHOD2 as below and it is same as your pic, right?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
