Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me if there is an advantage of using the AVC-R over the pfc bost control kit? I tried doing a search on this but it kept coming back with errors.

I was going to get the AVC-R, but dont know if there is any advantage in getting it, as it costs more than getting the boost kit for the pfc

Thanks for your help.

It uses the same boost control solenoid as the AVCR. I have the PFC boost kit and no problems with it.

is there anything that the avc-r can do that the pfc cant? apart from having a 1/2 din blue screen in your dash? :P

avcr has gear based boost control

avcr has rpm based boost control

whether those things are worth 200$ more or up to you

oh ok...the gear based boost control might be worth it. Being able to limit boost in the lower gears would be quite useful. Seeing as there is a heap of money going into making the power, $200 will be worth it to help limit wheel spin in 1st and 2nd gears :P

Cheers for that :)

thanks for the link ;)

I just tried to search again and got the same error:

Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

The error returned was:

One or all of your search keywords were below 4 characters or you are searched for words which are not allowed, such as 'html', 'img', etc, please go back and increase the length of these search keywords or choose different keywords.

oh...i think I get it now. I guess it cant handle fc in the search criteria :P

I have the PFC boost control kit and it controls boost very accurately.

However, with the plan of a bigger turbo in the pipeline, I would probably have gone with the AVC-R so that I can limit boost in lower gears.

And although some people will say that I can limit boost with my right foot, and I've said it myself as well, it would still be VERY handy to be able to have control over the boost characteristics of the engine.

If anyone has an R34 and wants the PFC boost kit, I'll swap for an AVC-R. Cash adjustment of course.

Hey Bass, thats what I thought too. Being able to control boost in 1st & 2nd especially. I am looking at getting to 300rwkw so prefer something that will electronically control the boost.

I know I wont be able to trust my right boot :)

PS  Love the white writing on your tyres by the way,  very RACE!

Thanks man ;)

Takes a lot of time colouring in the writing with a paint pen :) In the photo I only did half on each tyre. Started getting too dark.

I'm sure if you were trying to reduce wheel spin in a certain situation and had the ability to do it electronically, you would.

I know I would.

Lower boost in 1st and 2nd gear is simplistic at best. Let me see if I have it right;

You run 1.5 bar in 3rd, 4th and 5th

But say 1.2 bar in 1st and 2nd

That way you will get less wheelspin in 1st and 2nd :D

But what if it is a nice warm day and the road is clean and it will handle 1.3 bar?

But what if it is raining and 0.8 bar is needed for less wheeelspin?

But what about if the road is sorta clean and has only a few bumps, so 1.25 bar would be good,

But what about if the road is a bit bumpy, and the tyres are getting old, and 1.15 bar is the go.

Do you limit the 1st and 2nd gear boost to 1.15, 1.2, 1.25 or 1.3 bar? <_<

What you need is traction control, not lower boost. And the best traction control is your right foot.

:) cheers :angry:

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
