So are you saying that the new design reduces lag after a gear change? I've been noticing lag on changes lately...and I dislike it a lot :)

It could probably be tuned out, but if the hole in the boost controller isn't helping, I might get the newer 1...

have you got the hole in yours?

as far as i know, the hole should actually reduce lag on gear changes.

i'm feeling the lag too, but mine has no hole. i might put one in it.

Hey guys i was mucking around with my controller and i took the screw out and the ball and screw came out.

When i put it back together, does the ball bearing go in first then the spring, then the screw? or other way around?

cheers

ball, spring then tap

so these are standing the test of time.. no one has had no big problems with them as they age?

i set mine, and left it. hasnt deviated or played up at all. pretty damn good for the price.

sorry i havent read all 64 pages before maybe the first 10 or so but didnt find the answer. so just a few quick q's if anyone can help

1 - are these still available ?

2 - are they a boost controller that gets rid of the original solenoid in the r33 so u can run whatever boost your car is capable of?? (sorry 1st turbo car so not 100% familiar with the system)

thanks

the r32 guys run more boost, but as far as i've always known, 12psi is the limit on the R33 turbo...anymore is pushing it further than you may want to....and not sure they make any power past 12psi anyway...where's paul when you need him

Just for some more feedback,

I have scince bought a new car and ordered another one of these, the new one does not have a hole. In the process of tuning the car I was monitoring the boost.

I am running a sliding performance RB25 hiflow turbo on an RB20 pushing 230rwkw. The boost controller was set to 17psi. The controller held boost so well it looked like a flat line. it was as good as the EBC that came on the car when I bought it. Infact I took off the EBC and sold it for $350 as the turbotech did the same job for $30 and could be hidden in the enginge bay and there is no solanoid or electronics to fail.

Gotta love it.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
