would be correct in assuming that in these bloody things there is supposed to a high tencile spring anda little ball???

Cause i just pulled it apart for the first time after trying everything to get it to work and there is no flaming ball in the end of it!!!!

WTF!!!!

Yeah there's supposed to be little ball in there. Get onto mark and get him to rectify it or send you a ball or something.

The little ball rectified it. Works like everyone on her has said it would.

All is well. Onlyset to 9 at the moment. Will have a play with plugging the hole up versus having the hole and get her to about 11,12 ish and see how she goes.

Cool man. Did you get the ball off the guy you sold it off?

The whole in the boost controller, is to allow air to escape when you close the throttle.

This then allows the wastegate to close again.

Also, if your boost is dropping 5PSi, it isn't the hole doing that. That's ALOT of pressure to loose through a tiny hole.

By a 5psi drop, the spring and ball should have closed, all air should vent out, allowing the wastegate to close, and boost to climb again.

It sounds more like your turbo can't keep up.

ok fellas.

ive used 4 of marks controllers.. 2 holes and 2 non holes.. on a GTR S14 and GTT with NO dramas what so ever..

untill this morning when i put one on my 180sx.. only occassionally it spikes..

boost is set to 6psi.. first gear is normally stead might spike to 10psi.. 2nd gear normally spikes to 10+ and 3rd gear ive seen it spike to 15psi..

on the hhighway build boost in 5th it wont spike. it will mostly only spike after changing gears..

this has really got me..

i purchased this controller a few months back with my first shipment from mark and its been sitting on the table outside for 3 or so months so i might check the insides of it tomorrow.. had very limited issues with the standard solenoid.. it would go to 10.5 and fall to 9ish.. but seeing a 15pound spike is quite scary.. esspecially when the can is on closed loop mode lol...

so ill post up what i find..

ok, ive put it on my s13 now, and ive got it so it sits at 9/10psi, but when i first gun it, it hits like 13 psi and falls back and sits at desired boost level, but when it goes to round 13, it coughs and splatters.... is this boost cut or missfire or??? it blows a lil bit of smoke when it splatters, and its only for a second untill the boost goes down a bit, and why is it going up to 13 then coming down so much?

Which direction do you turn the dial to turn boost down? Clockwise/Anti-clockwise?

Boost is spiking so I want to turn down, but I can't find the original instructions that came with it.

Screw it in and get more boost.

Wind it out and get less

Hi guys,

Today I was fiddling with my controller and dropped the spring into my bloody engine bay and could not for the LIFE of me find where the FK it has gone.

Anyway provided I don't find it, does bunnings sells the same sort of spring? Anyone had issues with replacing the spring?

I need the controller working by tomorrow as Im taking my car in to get a SAFC installed and tuned and want it tuned for 12psi

Somewhere in the 1500 posts on here someone has mentioned something about a replacement spring - i remember reading it ages ago but i cant for the life of me remember roughly where.

    • I think the consensus was that's normal. Sloped road surfaces or something? I remember @silviaz went through this before. It might be one of those things you never notice until you pay attention to it.
    • Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in
    • What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.
    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
