Gday!

I've got a Greddy Profec B Spec II boost controller on the way (with english manual and all the gear to install it) and i have a couple of questions hopefully a few technically minded ppl can help me out with. For everyones info i have an RB20DET powered R32 gtst with the following mods:

- cat back 3" exhaust

- pod type air filter

- apexi power fc

- bleed valve type boost controller (boost now up to 11 - 12psi)

My questions:

1 - I generally know my way round a car but are these things difficult to install?

2 - Would it be advisable to have these fitted by a pro? If so, I'm in Chatswood, Sydney - anywhere someone can recommend?

3 - Is this model fully electronic ie can it limit boost to certain point and prevent boost spikes?

Thanks to anyone who replies...Cheers :mad:

1 - not really . plum the solonoid in where your old boost cotroller was and then run a vacum line hose from the manifold . There is a article in the DIY section on installing a boost guage on a r32 , same principal applies for that . then run your hose and cable for the solinoid back into the cabin and mount the controller

2 - its up to you . if you feel confident give it a go , if not its probably about $100 to get it installed . those profecs are pretty strait forward

3 - yes fully electronic , it will be more stable than your bleed

Installation should be straightforward but apparently Profec B II is fairly hard to set up. Probably best to leave it to the pro.

Saying that, I just bought Profec S that is like the old Profec B, brought back due to popular demand, just with an improved solenoid. It's much easier to set it up but it doesn't have the fancy screen.

yeah figured there'd be a few steps in the install which'd be beyond me...can these be done by any auto electrician or are dedicated performance tuners the way to go?

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
