can this be used on the r32? i cant see down to my turbo (theres a cover there) and havent really seen any other turbo cars..

i read that Jaycar IEBC thread and seen how you need a solenoid inline to the waste gate, im assuming this would go where the soenloid would go?

cheers, shaun.

you don't really need to se the turbo as such

what you are looking for is a tube that runs from just after the compressor to the wastegate

it should hang (i think) just below the front side of the trubo heat shield and you should be able to see it. when i installed my gfb bleed valve i didn't have to remove the heat shield.

you want to cut that tube and insert this boost controller in line with that tube, then adjust away!

am realy lookign forward to getting this in and seeing how it goes in comparison to my gfb valve

will post a comparison when its done in the next few weeks...

I have been using mine for a couple of weeks now and have had 100% reliability. :D

definatly the best $30 i spent on a car!!! I should have asked the guy for a kick back! I would have enough for a free beer now!!!

I just like it when i find a cheap, great quality, simple product that works better than almost anything else.

Its so rare these days i just thought i would share it so we can all have one!

and i am not suprised the dude put up his price! for $22 or whatever it was he cant have been making much cash. The bits alone would have cost $10 and then he has to machine them and paint them!

and by the looks of things they will hold anything up to 20psi with a good deal of accuracy.

:)

Maybe he's now using Stainless Steel ball bearings now?!?!?

Even though he should have been before as it did state that it had s/steel internals but infact it doesn't :D

Every 1 drop him a question about it.. :)

I have.. He hasn't replied yet. :)

You can get needle valves from your local hose supplier store and use this. It controls boost quite well from what I have seen. Cost like $17 without brass fittings so cant imagine it costing more than $25 all up. Dont know if it works as well as what is offered here but maybe its worth a go.

Hi guys,

My name is mark, the guy responsible for the turbotech controllers you are talking about.

Thanks a heap for your interest and great comments. These controllers ar e$42 with postage on ebay. However, I will continue to offer them to skyliners for $28 express delivered.

Any questions about them I am happy to listen and answer on here or email [email protected]

Cheers,

Mark

hey man

thanks for the great product

how did you hear about us? they have been gettign rave comments and i have bougt one waiting to put on on my car

my questions:

- are you makin these at home or are you a business?

- is the ball bearing stainless steel? someone mentioned his rusted... :D

- do you test each one before you send it out?

cheers,

Warren.

Hi warren,

Thanks for your interest.

Tha ball is chrome so should not rust. I have responded to the gut who found some on his. Not sure why but the first anyone has said in over 200 sales. Perhaps I accidently put ina dodgy ball with a scratch who knows.

Anyway still have 100% positive feedback on ebay for controllers sent all over the world.

Educated initially in mechanical engineering, I now teach and make these controllers at home in my own workshop. I started making them after turbosmart would not let me distribute their controllers so I made my own and better.

Did you say you have already bought one, I dont see an order here for warren?

Mark

I sent a nice message to him last night telling him how many great reviews his part was receiving on the Skyline forums, and asked if he'd send me one over here in the usa.

Not sure if this prompted his reason to post here, but glad he did..... mine is paid for, and hopefully on its way to me.... :D

thanks

joel

Simark,

I sent you an email regarding the ball rusting ever so slightly.

I honestly think it was partially my fault, I screwed it in and out then blowed through it.

My exhaled air is what I think started to rust the ball where the spring pushes against it.

Rust is a bad word, its a real slight surface rust that is scratched off easily.

Ball all in all for the price they are they are a bargain, in the engine bay with the nice hot air any moisture will evaporate quick smart.

I'll pull mine out in a week or so and see how its going.

i've already bought and recieved it :D

my ebay username is the same as my SAU username...

the quality looks great and i'll be keen to compate it to my GFB bleed valve i currently have. stay posted for a comparison (when i have time to eventually put the thing in!)

what else do you 'cook up' back there in your workshop?

PS you should look into selling these on the forum for sale section... the guy who owns the forums is PranK. If you PM him and tell him you are a business then all you have to do is donate to the forums and you can advertise here. i'm sure you would sell a HEAP of controllers through here, especially with the reviews you are getting!

I second that motion!

It would be nice if all skyliners had one of these. it would be great if the were for sale in the trading section because everyone would know where to get one.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
