Spends alot of money on boost controller. Spend $0 on engine management. You may need to rethink priorities. Anything above 10psi the stock ECU will just go into R&R "Rich and Retard"

Doesn't matter when boost is OVER 9000

On the topic(ish)

Anyone know how to change the display from kPa to kg/cm2?

none of the online manuals show how to do it

im still trying to find the box for mine and check the japanese on the back. im 99% mine is stuck on kg/cm2 but xspeed set it up for me and the car is stripped so i cant test...going for another look now.

but either way it def didnt read kPa. was either Bar or kg/cm2 as when i had it at 16psi it read about 1.10

just found box and realised it was hkpa, therefore 1.10 was spot on. nothing on the back in japanese mentions changing units

So it was the alarm/immobiliser causing the issue.

The wire that id spliced into to power the EBC was the 'ON' wire from the ignition. Unknown to me (as ive recently purchased the car) the alarm/immobiliser was also spliced into that line. So it seems that when the controller was active (higher boost selected rather then bypassed, ie: OFF) the alarm/immobiliser cracked it and turned off the car.

I've found another power source and can happily run 12 psi without a problem.

Thanks to those that offered help and advice.

bit of a revival. but do you need to have the boost line hooked upto the unit ?? or does it work normally without it ?? obviously it wont show the boost pressure. or does it need to see pressure to tell the solenoid what to do ??

    • Do the following first and get back to us. - Clean and verify your IACV - Verify for vacuum leaks/post MAF leaks. (Pressure test is the best and cheapest way) - Do you have a BOV with stock ecu/MAF? If so, remove it.     
    • Hey all, The skyline I have is stalling when the engine is at normal operating temp.  When starting it while it is cold, it'll run just fine.  I have replaced the battery (bad cell), I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and clean the MAF sensor.  Any other suggestions?
    • Thanks for all the information on this.  I tried ordering the parts from Amayama website and all 3 Solenoids are discontinued and not available.  Does anyone have any other websites to suggest that I could find the parts?   Separate issue-- I will start a new thread, but basically the vehicle is stalling when warmed up.
    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.
