  1. Hahahahahaha!! I thought something seemed weird going by your reactions..... to the same picture
  2. I know right..... I was skeptical at first, but it definately has a lot more response in the low rev range, which is great for me as a streeter.
  3. Ooooooooh check out the awesome new mods Tas did to my 33 last night, gotta be pushing roughly 15kw extra!
  4. You forgot to add to that equation that: Ravi = wankster... therefore.... lol
  5. Probably overpriced, always are. Try All State Automotive it's in delta street, ask for Nick, tell him you know Ravi with the Maroon 33... he should be able to do better for you. Ahhh man that thing is hell tough. Think he had some thermal coating done yesterday, not sure on the details though. Thermal Edge Coating is across the road from where I work... my boss and I heard a loud ass RB come tearing down the street..... then the high pitched squeal of an SSQV... *drool* so we ran out to see it pull in the shop. I regret selling my SSQ now. Anyway... yeah, that 34 GTR is off tits!
  6. It wasn't a black one by chance? With what seemed to be carbon fibre everything, and black (maybe nismo) 5/6 spoke wheels?
  7. But I want 10psi while still having the factory solenoid plugged in.... that's my entire point. While using that setup my low response was GREAT, felt like a different car. So I figured use an R32 actuator, use the stock solenoid, and have 10psi+response..... then 12psi @4500 as usual.
  8. Hey guys. This is something that's doing my head in at the moment... I've read pages and pages of info from all the manual boost controller threads and how to run high boost mode all the time with the stock dual stage solenoid... My car had a turbotech controller on when I bought it, running 10psi, all good. Just for learning experience, I removed that and set up the stock solenoid again but earthed it out so it ran 7psi all the time. Now even though it was less boost, I felt a BIG difference in low end response. It picked up and got going a lot quicker, but once it was moving... well you could feel there wasn't much top end power. So I put it back to using the boost controller with no solenoid. Now I've read in 2 or 3 places (but can't find the damn threads/web pages again!) that by plugging the return line to the intake (from the t-piece) it may change the richness. I can understand that, as air that was originally going to be bled off by the solenoid back to in front of the turbo, is no longer there, and has just been bled off by the boost controller. I now have an R32 actuator in and I tried hooking up all the lines to the solenoid again to bleed off another 2psi and get 11-12psi..... but it won't go over 10psi, and still feels a bit slow down low. I've checked all the vacuum lines and replaced all of the ones in that area (intercooler->actuator/solenoid/return line) with new 4mm hose. Would the diameter of the hose make ANY difference at all? I have no 'restrictor' in the lines anywhere, which there apparently is from stock. Can anyone help explain whether this is an actual phenomenon or whether I'm just imagining this, and maybe shed some light on how I can get rid of the sluggishness? Other than 'put back to stock' or 'ecu + tune'... because I've felt it run well before with the gear I have. Thanks for your help!
  9. Hey guys, sorry to bring up an old thread, but I'm having related issues with my boost solenoid... When talking about the boost restrictor (remembering that the sizes involved are very small), do you think that the size of the vacuum hose would change anything? I'm running 4mm hose for everything around there (to and from solenoid, to actuator, to BOV return line etc) and I'm not getting the extra 2psi bleed off.
  10. I think that's a good enough sign John..... time for a conversion
  11. So how is it now? I often see that place there and have wondered what they're like
  12. Hahahahaha!! Don't worry man, I've done the same thing... minus taking the door apart
