hey guys, i just picked up my new skyline today... going from a NA skyline to turbo is such a big difference, a huge smile comes on my face everytime i floor it :P

I just have a few questions because im not too sure of these things - the guy said it has a boost controller but its running stock boost (0.5 bar) with a turbo back exhaust. anyway, he said the boost controller was the thing under the HKS Turbo timer (in the pic). Im not sure how to operate it tho?

also with the HKS timer - is there a auto feature where it automatically judges how long it needs to cooldown or do you just set it manually?

in the 2nd pic, theres this 'Pivot turbo timer' thing under the dash aswell... im not sure what this does if anyone could shed some light...

i know its alot of questions but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks !

You can set your turbo timer to what ever you want for Auto or you can manually adjust before you leve the car. I don't use one as I don't think they are neccesary. As for your boost controller I wouldnt go playing with the boost untill your ready to upgrade you don't want to f**k anything up.

I cant see shit from that last pic lol

I have that Pivot timer in mine, if im driving around off boost i shut her down straight away but if ive been spooling it up a bit i give it 1 min, if ive been going hard ill give it 3 min with the bonnet up.

But thats me, lol.

how do you set it into Auto mode?

the HKS one has 4 buttons... UP / Down / Power / Memory

also found out on the net that the Pivot ACS-M is a Air flow conditioner and not a boost controller... cant find any info on what it does tho

      Nice car! Looking at your GTS; makes me wonder why I bought a GTS-t... Everything has been changed anyway. I should have just started with a non turbo model.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4

      Dual exhaust questions

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By 32.det · Posted

      Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
