i have a gtst r33, series 1 skyline. wondering the best route to go to turn up the boost on the stock snail. i was told the greddy profec requires an hks fuel cut eliminator....

is there a boost controller that takes care of raised fueling needs?

i feel like a total retard going from high comp NA hondas to boosted nissans.

thanks for the help.

How is the condition on your turbo? Stock or Aftermarket?

I think R33 have ceramic internals for their turbos, so don't go too hard.

If you got aftermarket turbo you can go a bit more boost.

Then you might need a front mount intercooler.

I don't have much experiance with boost controllers, but Im sure the big brands like APexi, Blitz and HKS will do a good job.

Ppl then might say you need a APexi Power FC to map out your air / fuel mixtures.

turbo should be ok, car has very low miles. im not looking to get ridiculous. i am getting a FMIC in a week, thats why i am asking, because i know with a front mount, i am going to get a pressure drop.

i guess stock is something like 4psi to 8psi dual stage(you guys use metrics?) and im lookin for i guess something like 12psi on the stock turbo with a front mount.

that should hold me over til i pick up a atermarket manifold, turbo and external wastegate.

just go get a maunual boost controller for ya local rev head store and you can safly wind her up to 11-12psi if you got a front mount really limits of the stock turbos rear wheel, there is a thred in diy on installation of a manual boost controller

If you get the correct size intercooler, boost lost should be a problem, I don't think..?

BTW ppl talk about removing the boost restricter in the hose going to the boost solenoid... There is talk about this on GTR's but have a look at the GTS-T.

The restricter is a little cylender inside the hose with a smaller diametre in resulting in a boost restriction. Squeeze the cylender out and plug the hose back in and you should get a Factory Safe Boost Increase.

I haven't found any solid evidance to prove this and best is to ask your mechanic.

Someone might wanna clear this up for me...

No boost restrictors in 33 gtst's that I know of.

They do run a dual-stage solenoid though. Have a look in the DIY section there should be an easy mod to make it run 7psi all the time instead of 5psi then 7psi. After you've done that get a Turbotech manual boost controller and wind it up to 12psi.

She'll be right mate.

this is the route im going, i ditched the little hose from the boost solenoid to the "t" fitting with the restrictor in it, by passed the coolant hose thru the throttlebody and tonight i am ditching the dual boost gimmick, looking for a manual boost controller and a boost gauge tonight as well. that should give me enough kick in the ass until i put a top mount, garret, FMIC.

thanks for the help.

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
