I think its just dissapointing that for something that was once fine now you have to modify yourself, certainly not an 'improvement'. I wonder why he changed it in the first place-maybe he was tired of drilling the hole or the ones with holes in em stopped being available or something. I might drill into mine today. :(

Ok just want ot make this clear to everyone or anyone suffering from very laggy gear changes whilst using the turbotech. If you don't have the hole - DRILL ONE!! Today I drilled a 1mm hole directly opp the feed to the wastegate as shown in the pic and it made a wolrd of difference with gear changes. Previously the car felt totally dead, flat, sloooow when selecting the next gear - now boost response is fast. As you can see i highly reccoment drilling the hole!! :)

did u find boost now drops off up top?

funny thing is i took the car out for a run just for comparison sake....and there was no lag.

wtf?

anyway, i've left it for now. only change i've made was my cat. maybe that had some effect.

I'm runnin 10lbs creeps up to 11.5 or so in higher revs then drops back down to 9 - 10 cant remember exactly. i think it goes something like 9, 10, 11, 11.5, 10 or something. so generally its around 10. i could never get my car to hold one boost level really well every since i did the exhaust, i think possibly the wastegate is too restrictive or small for the increase in flow and dump size. sigh] boost is never as simple as it should be...

i had a chat to mark he assured me that they do not make much difference. the holes are for higher boost applications 18.5psi+ to bleed out extra pressure. so im in doubt what difference the hole does on lower boost. but more on topic these are great and marks customer service skills are impeccable.

Hi,

I'm in Christchurch New Zealand.. I'm after one of these controllers but no-one wants to post..

I'd be very keen to pay your $25 AUD + freight to NZ + a bonus if you were keen on sending to New Zealand.. I can transfer funds via paypal if you're keen..

Thanks,

Scott Roberts.

markimak... thats a crock... i got PROOF not word off of somone that it lags like a bitch with no hole. buy one and put it in and tell me if its laggy or not...

mind you put 12 pound thru it not 7... cuz your stocko wastegate opens at 7 and i doubt having that hold will make a shit of difference with the 7psi.

well im runnign 14 pound neways...

with NO hole = pathetic

WITH hole = fantastic (altho it drops off pressure up top but im not complaining)

Mines got no hole and it doesnt lag at all, in fact it's brilliant. Running 11.5psi.

i have tried and tried to find the lag again, and its not there anymore. lol

quickshift, no prob. granny shift, still no prob, besides the obvious revs dropping out of boost range of course.

must've been the cat i had on. coz i didint have the lag issue before or after it. so no hole and still happy.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
