Any know if their any good or crap.

']you can get a Apexi AVCR, for brand new for $600,

Hey, well the greddy profec spec b ii does the same job

Apexi may have more features but i dont care for features

As long as its reliable and does the same job im happy,

I got a quote around $400 for the greddy boost controller

What do u think.?

apexi one is good but, it isnt good unless setup right. I have heard only hood things about the profec ebc, i own a profec A and it works wonderful, i belived spec b, is daul sol and is very good

If you just want someting cheap and reliable why not go for a BLEED VALVE

almost guaranteed never to break down...works without eletricity too :)

bleed valve is not exactly relibable. a cheap ebc will serve its purpose and be accurate. i got a 2nd hks evc for $250 and it works awesome, i had a problem with it last week but it was just loose wiring. does awesome boost control

for something that needs to be reliable in it's performance such as a boost controller, i think you're best to go for a well known unit.

the jaycar boost control is fine if you have the time and knowhow to set it up, but if you're like me and just want something that you can get fitted and basically have no worries with go for AVCR or SBC idIII.

both can be found for around 570-630 new.

get the profec , or you can get a blitz ssbc for about 400 also .

i got a second hand old blitz ssbc off the forums , here . it didnt work . luckily the guy gave me back most of my money , got a 2nd one of the same type and replaced the faulty control unit . so it cost about 200$ all up and ive got some spares just incase .

I generally email the instructions and pics to ppl, as I can't get the pic's up here (too large). Any ideas?

For anyone else interested, here are the photo's/instructions DAN00H was talking about.

Pics to be read in conjunction with word doc

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
