hey everyone, just before i sell the car i want to install a boost controller, for a month or so just so i can have a taste of boost before i start driving a slow as hell POS for the next few years *violin starts playing in the background* :boohoo:

the one im getting is a GReddy item, its a very simple setup but it will do the simple job i need for the next few weeks, although i want a EBC its simply not smart to get one when im not even going to be gettng an FMIC etc and selling the car anyway, i have talked to the current owner of the unit (not installed) and it should not spike anymore than 1pound.

although i want an FMIC for safety reasons, again its not possible and i will only run 12pound and the unit will be turned down to stock boost during the day.

may seem like a waste to some but i simply need to feel boost before it goes, so to get back to my original question can anyone help me install it? it should be relatively simple i think, but i just havnt done it before and dont wish to do it myself, and im not paying to take it to a garage as the unit was cheap enough anyway i dont ant to fork out more money i dont have to have it put in.

so if you can help please let me know and i'll owe you a 6pack :inlove:

also the car IS for sale now so if anyone wants any info just PM me for pics or anything else you would like to know.

thanks once again guys

Andrew.

I've installed one on my old R33, and my stagea has one also. all you need to do is remove the stock boost controller from the system, disconnect the wire and then plug the 2 boost lines that come out of it into each end of the boost controller, making sure it's pointing in the right direction. most simple job i've ever done.

if you don't know where your boost controller is, it's attached to the passenger sige in front of the wheel well, a little black plastic cylinder

update, to give more info, as i havnt got it yet im not sure if its a blitz or a GReddy unit, but its one of the 2, it a phneumatic(sp) boost controller and i think it can be cabin mounted.

Terminal: you obviolusly havnt seen me around the mechanic side of a car, if i successfully install it without setting off a nuclear explosion not dissimilar to to the french testings in the pacific, i will be greatly surprised, the australian government is currently trying to pass a new law banning me from going anywhere near an engine bay of a car......

Haha, sorry dude, i wasn't aware. i'm not the most mechanical guy kicking around, but i just finished my engineering degree, so i have a modest amount of knowledge.

How come you're selling? i miss my skyline, but i got a good replacement

going into property and investing, so the car has to go to get money for a deposit for my 1st property. its going to break my heart to see her go but in years to come i'll be able to afford much much nicer cars (hopefully) but in the mean time i have to be a tightass and hoard my money lol.

Veilsides been to a money making seminar...............................run by some rich septic tank or motivator I'd guess.

[it's all a guess].

Good luck with it all.

Couldn't do it myself, too much fun to be had all my life to sacrifice any of it. Anyway, I took the easy option, I got a good paying steady job that I like = Hydrography [don't ask, look it up].

dunno Andrew, i'll have to ask, thanks though i'll let you know ASAP.

bahaha trident, no i havnt been to any anthony robins seminars, i have been thinking about it for quite some time now but after talking with another local forum member ive made my mind up, so i guess you could say if i fail, it will all be his fault!!! bahaha!

but in all serious i have spoken with several people who are experienced in real estate, investing, you name it, if they can help give advice in anyway ive been speaking with them, last thing i would do with a descision this big is not think about it. meh anyway, will hopefully have the controller by the end of next week.

    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.  
    • Yeah the rule of thumb with an LS is 7psi per 1000rpm. That is decidedly not enough at 6800rpm. I mainly looked for the scenarios where knock started to be picked up and it was later in the session when things were hotter, and oil was thinner, and the pressure was lower than it should be. (i.e very horrible). I am hoping with thicker oil (I was running Penrite ten tenths 10-40, the manual specifies 10-30) that does not leak that it's much improved at that time!!! I am using Project Mu Club Racer CR pads. I'm also using the Project Mu 335C fluid. The symptoms imply that it was fluid that boiled, but no bubbles seemed pretty weird to me when I bled it today. I want to try Castrol SRF as it has a much higher wet temp but, well, I have new Project Mu fluid lol... so I should at least use that. The pedal on track was really noticable. It went from basically normal feeling to instantly near-floor. The car did pull up as before, it was just very much nearly at the floor before the brakes engaged. At that point I pretty much decided the day was very done, it did *kinda* come back during that very slow cooldown lap into the pits. Felt perfectly fine driving home.
