REVIEW

Hi, i promised ben i would write a review/feedback after i installed it so here goes.

I paid my money and got the boost piece in the mail about a day later (props to a great seller)

It was extremely easy to install. If I could do it in less than 5 minutes, anyone can

Stock boost on the r34 is around 5 psi low/ 7psi high (correct me if im wrong). As the boost piece replaces the solenoid, it becomes a constant high of around 10 psi (give or take 0.5 psi). This is better than the constant ground to the solenoid as it prevents the risk of damaging it. Full boost of around 10psi comes on under 3000 rpm (probably a bit less but i'm not very good at looking at the road, speedo and boost gauge at the same time). This then drops down by about 0.5 psi to around 9.5 psi or so.

Overall, its a great purchase for those that only want a little bit of boost increase. In my opinion, its only $20 or so and definately worth it for the gain.

Cheers

Eric

I got one of these delivered last week with a similar experience to ecl only on an R33 GTST sedan. 5 mins to install, great very clear instructions and the promised result of 10psi.

And for an added bonus I went to a dyno day today and with only a catback 3" exhaust, R34 stock intercooler and the magic 10psi and I recorded 176rwkw. I am very suprised at the result as there were a couple of stock 33s there that recorded the expected mid 140rwkw for comparison. Big thumbs up. Also there was no detonation but the car was quite rich :D . Big thanks!

I have sold about 14 of these and I have had feedback from about 10 people so far. All except 2 have held 9-10psi as they requested, however 2 people that have had automatics have been seeing around 13-14psi!! I am in the process of sending them more conservative ones.

I find this strange but if I find this to be consistent trend then I will have to have a manual one and another for automatics...

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
