i have a gfb bleed also. easy toinstall, comes with eveything you need from memory

stock gauge reads fine (despite what others might say), its just herd to interpret...

it reads in mmHg, and the conversion is: 760mmHG = 14.3psi

so taking that into consideration, + 3.5 (or half way on the gauge) is about 7psi and +7 (or full gauge) is about 14psi

hope that helps

cheers,

Warren.

PS more info can be found in a search...

they are good bleed valves.

i got mine for under $80 from autobahn. i m not sure what ur missing but its real easy to install...

pull the 2 hoses off ur stolinoid (spelling), there is a arrow on the controler, MAKE SURE you point this arrow to the wastgate actuator and then just plug the other 1 on the other side.

there is another way of doing it, 1 of the hoses connects to a T piece. remove the T and plug the hoses in, making sure that the arrow is goin to the wast actuator. then with the other hose left on the stol, you just block with a screw. i didnt use this method cuz i dont like the idea of having a hose just sitting there blocked. but its up to you.

:)

Just buy a boost gauge, by the looks of your sig you have heaps of mad parts on your car, im sure an extra $150 wont be too much for a gauge dude! PROBLEM SOLVED!

why does he need to buy a boost gauge? is he running more boost than the stock gauge shows (ie 14psi?)

i can't see any reason why he can't use the stock gauge...

Sweet man! I thought mine wasn't boostin' :)

So take a stock car for instance, nothing done to it, the stock gauge would only go up to +3.5? is that how it works?

hahah mate im completely poor atm.. haha but yea im looking nito buying a hks direct bright or watever its called boost gauge.. but yeah all i need to find is the hose and allen key lol that shud be easy right?..

i think it will be hard to read on stock boost gauge cuz like its not very precise and u cud be running liek 13 instead of 10 haha.. and plus im gna be running 10psi all the time.

so should everyone go out and buy a new tacho, speedo, fuel gauge, and temperature gauge then??

its so stupid how everyone keeps saying 'buy a boost gauge' when the car bloody has one!

because the stock boost gauge is hard to read (it's very small) and the increments are quite coarse (small gauge movment=large change in boost pressure). they are also very slow to react. also there are numerous cases of the factory gauge giving incorrect readings.

i think it's a stupid idea to bump up the boost without an aftermarket gauge.

but everyone has their own opinion.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
