Just wondering if the Apexi PFC for the R34 GTT is still available...

Tried searching on the forums and found out it's been discontinued...DAMN!

Also, are these a full replacement ecu or a piggyback?

Can this control boost or will i need a boost controller like the AVCR to controll it?

And what is the point of a hand controller?

I'm not a tech head when it comes to cars so i don't know what i would be doing with the controller.

I'm tossing between the AVCR or the Blitz SBC id III

Any issues with these controllers?

Hoping i can make it a 3 port solenoid thingy... <-- if that makes sense

Also, my car doesn't have the RB25DET Neo Rocker cover for the engine.

How much will it cost for me to find and install one?

With my old car (WRX) we had issues with the AFM when we had an oil based pod filter installed on our cars.

It killed the AFM. Any such issues with the R34? And i can't seem to find any info on which POD gives the best results or the like. Maybe my search isn't that great. And are there any Cold Air intake options for the car or is there no point?

Some people seem to still be running their stock airbox/filter.

Please advise - i know that there are going to be differing opinions. But i am a noob and i would like to know.

And how good is the stock BOV? how much boost can it handle?

AND LASTLY, is Earls a recognised brand? Whats the country of manufacture? I think i've heard of it but not so sure. Because i have an earls oil cooler but i dunno if it is a relocation kit as well. Trying to find info...It's also painted blue.

Thanks guys,

Hope to meet up soon

Pretty sure PFCs are still available for the ER34.

I have had both the AVC-R and the Blitz ID3.

The Blitz ID3 is better by a country mile ! I hated the AVC-R. Besides dual solenoids gotta be better than single solenoid !! :(

For boost controllers the new HKS EVC is up there as well, im considering changing to it to try it out later on.

Stock bov is good as long as you keep the stock piping. No need to change.

NEO cover aint expensive and it is only a matter of 4 bolts to "install" I THINK I have mine lying around somewhere if I can find it and the bolts its yours.

Earls are a pretty reputable brand, im pretty sure most workshops use them for their braided lines and connectors, valves etc.

So which Boost controllers have 3 solenoids? Or can i just buy a boost controller and buy the solenoid seperately?

And i already have a am radiator, GReddy FMIC...so i guess i may need a new BOV if i up the boost...

And is your cover in good nick? How much you chasing for the bolts and cover?

Even if you have a greddy fmic as long as you have kept the stock cross over pipe that the stock bov is attached to, there is no real need to change it.

I went through that phase, I had a GFB and a Type RS in the end I changed it to back to the stock one.

I currently have a Type R because I went for a high mount turbo and could not keep the standard piping or the bov.

I kind of mucked around with the cover and I painted it myself, haha yeah I got bored. The condition aint too bad, but like I said its yours if I can find it, meaning you can have it. Im not about to haggle or chase after someone for $20 or so.

PM me if your interested. When I go back to my parents house next week Ill have a look for it and get back to you.

shonen - wot front bar is that on ur 34?

As for the NEO cover - it may have been removed due to the FMIC piping on the top if ur running a FMIC. If not and u r after the cover, i have a S2 R34 one sitting on my shelf. Pm me if ur keen.

Yes Series 2 R34. They have some minor differences to the S1, has more torque i believe, tacho n speedo n gauges is silver, NEO cover is completely silver no red writing, looks better IMO but mine's off anyway.

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Butters · Posted

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.

      I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
