Hey guys,

I have recently acquired a $200 credit from a performance parts store and wondering what to get for my brothers' R32 GTS-T... I owe him big time so this is something small I can do for him.

He's already got a HKS panel filter (foamy one... looks old), springs, shocks and a strut brace.

I was thinking either:

a) APEXi Power Intake Pod Filter (if its not a pain to fit) or a different panel filter. Any suggestions?

B) BOV. Do you need a special adapter for them?

I don't have any extra money to put towards something more expensive so anything you can sugges for under $200 would be much appreciated.

Thanks for any help in advance.

His panel filter is a foamy HKS one apparantly one that is meant to be replaced - not cleaned etc.

He would like a bov... was talking about it not long ago. I think he wants a venting one but then again he doesn't want anything TOO loud... I suggested a GFB Plumb-back but he said it would be a waste as there's already a p.b on there lol... its still the factory Nissan item but wouldn't the GFB be better?

Then again if he wants a venting one I suppose it's up to him :)

I think i'm going to get him the APEXi Power Intake Kit... Any ideas for a decent cold air feed? I think he's got a pipe running from the fog light arear up to the current airbox inlet.

Any other suggestions or items out there in the way of heat sheilds or the likes?

a GFB bleed valve is just under $40 trade price, and that's not a ball and spring type.

for quick wank factor and if your brother likes the flutter noise, get him a BOV.

But for the gift that keeps on giving, get him a Cold Air Intake.

Hey shannon :) Brett here. hows that pulsar going

Just off the top of my head a few other cheapish ideas could be window tinting? apexi pen style turbo timer they are pretty cheap like $50 I think, clear indicator lights, gear knob? boost guage if he doesnt already have one?

new pod filter is a good idea too though, the apexi and K&N ones are prob best, apexi has real good airflow and still filters real well too.

let us know if you need any help

go for a decent pod filter, they should be easy to install. just get one for an r32 gtst and it'll come with all the bits and pieces you need, and probaly a badly translated instruction booklet.

Bleed valves are a bad idea, he should have an exhaust before he starts upping the boost.

or just get him a nice looking boost gauge or something else interior wise (maybe a steering wheel or something)

it really depends on what this shop has.

Thanks for the help guys... well those that made REAL suggestions anyway.

It's not a physical voucher... it's just that I have credit at a parts distributor (or what have you).

He's already got a steering wheel and it's just recently been serviced i think so all is well on that front.

I was thinking about a turbo timer but then again... how hard is it to wait a minute or so before turning your car off?

I'm just going to get the APEXi P.I Kit and we'll sort out some kind of heat sheilding.

Thanks again for the help.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
