:flamed:  

I am damn sick of people and their opinions on the AVCR, have you people that think its just a fancy screen even used one before?  

Go have a look at most of the top times for japanese cars and look what boost controllers they are using, APEXi is not a small nor un-advanced company

They produde amazing electronics, and this one happens to have a 'blow away the compition' screen that comes with it, the screen is amazingly functionable and helps with alot of the controll  

the SAFC has the exact same screen.. i dont hear people paying it out for its 'rice' screen.  

it is a great EBC, ive helped a few friends use it, and ill be getting one in a few weeks

Relax dude, i didn't say it's not a good boost controller, i said it's fancier and more expensive than a profec B. Also no one said Apexi is a small company however i don't think they are as big as Trust or HKS.

Oh and it's about time you bought yourself new glasses! Look at all the hardco jap cars in JAPAN and you'll see they all use profec B, just for the very reason that it is simple and does a great job. (check out cars done by JUN, Top Secret, C-West etc.) I am yet to see an Apexi avcr on a harco japanese car. However i saw it on cars of yanks just because they love hairstyles as much as you do ;)

I wasnt directing it towards you, it was a general statement so i dont appriciate the things directed towards me in the above.

Have u ever used an AVCR?

Have u ever used a Profec B?

Ive seen 100s of cars in japan in person when i went there last year that swear by the AVCR .. hmm wait thats cos they all use the Power FC and still put an AVCR ontop of it ;)

Yanks? My hairstyle?

I bet u didnt know that ALOT of HKS, Apexi and other japanese brand equipment will soon if not already be produced in 'yank' land, as its their second biggest market.

Sit back in your seat and dwell my friend, think before action, i was simply stating my opinion no need to retaliate

Peace and good day to you :D

got my avcr installed and it's a great boost controller :( very happy... the only ebc's i looked at when i was shopping around were from apexi, hks, trust and blitz... i'm sure there are other good ones out there but a lot of tuners know how to install and tune the more well known ebc's...

Hey Evil,

What are some of your settings only need, bst/dty,scramble,ne point, f/b speed, start duty, learn gear ? if its possible :)

(for R33 Gtst 95')

Cheers,

don't know all the settings... i'll have to check it when i get the chance... i know its set to 9psi (which is enough, my car makes 178rwkw)

Firstly theres no need to be offended by my reply. Secondly you don't quote someones exact words and say you weren't directing them to the owner, especially in a discussion forum. Thirdly few of my friends use apexi avcr but i haven't used it however i use my profec B all the time. Fourthly i believe what i see and all the cars you see "in person in japan" mustn't be making it to magazines, vidoes or the internet as i'm yet to see one with avcr (except apexi factory cars).

And finally your comments about US being a big market are totally irrelevant.

Good day! :)

How long have u been on SAU? not that its relevant but telling me what to do on a discussion forum is a nono, im a moderator and possible administrator (soon) of 2 seperate forums. Just because a car doesnt make it to "videos and magazines" doesnt mean its not making a ridiculous RWKW figure and 1/4 and track times.

I think you get your mind set on things to easily and are too stubborn to realise the error of the mind set when it happens. My US market sentence is irrelevant as you talking about haircut styles and yanks.

No harm done,

Back to the thread :)

Ordering my AVCR next week, already got the SAFC2SE (yes with white screen, so ill have one white and one blue, easy to differenciate) :headspin:

I love the 'techness' of the duty cycle settings and the sheer amount of user changeable settings, it gives you total control of starter, midrange and peak boost, not to mention allows you to finely tune it for stable boost controll.

Yeah I do!

The GFB Atomic... Works well enough for the price. Spikes a little, like when you floor it at high RPM, but otherwise the boost is quite stable. I wouldnt mind an EBC, but that'll come later as i'd rather do something else with $600-800 frankly...

    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄  
    • From everything I’ve heard you’ll be waiting a long time for  the parts to arrive 
    • Have you looked at the workshop manual?
    • Hmm. I've gotten pretty good outcomes from talking to them about things that I've had go wrong or ideas for improvement. Have had a lot to say about the R32 FUCAs, and they have sent out some replacement parts for those, gratis, on a couple of occasions. Mind you, I have bought a couple hundreds of $ of replacement rod ends for them too!
