hey everyone, just before i sell the car i want to install a boost controller, for a month or so just so i can have a taste of boost before i start driving a slow as hell POS for the next few years *violin starts playing in the background* :boohoo:

the one im getting is a GReddy item, its a very simple setup but it will do the simple job i need for the next few weeks, although i want a EBC its simply not smart to get one when im not even going to be gettng an FMIC etc and selling the car anyway, i have talked to the current owner of the unit (not installed) and it should not spike anymore than 1pound.

although i want an FMIC for safety reasons, again its not possible and i will only run 12pound and the unit will be turned down to stock boost during the day.

may seem like a waste to some but i simply need to feel boost before it goes, so to get back to my original question can anyone help me install it? it should be relatively simple i think, but i just havnt done it before and dont wish to do it myself, and im not paying to take it to a garage as the unit was cheap enough anyway i dont ant to fork out more money i dont have to have it put in.

so if you can help please let me know and i'll owe you a 6pack :inlove:

also the car IS for sale now so if anyone wants any info just PM me for pics or anything else you would like to know.

thanks once again guys

Andrew.

I've installed one on my old R33, and my stagea has one also. all you need to do is remove the stock boost controller from the system, disconnect the wire and then plug the 2 boost lines that come out of it into each end of the boost controller, making sure it's pointing in the right direction. most simple job i've ever done.

if you don't know where your boost controller is, it's attached to the passenger sige in front of the wheel well, a little black plastic cylinder

update, to give more info, as i havnt got it yet im not sure if its a blitz or a GReddy unit, but its one of the 2, it a phneumatic(sp) boost controller and i think it can be cabin mounted.

Terminal: you obviolusly havnt seen me around the mechanic side of a car, if i successfully install it without setting off a nuclear explosion not dissimilar to to the french testings in the pacific, i will be greatly surprised, the australian government is currently trying to pass a new law banning me from going anywhere near an engine bay of a car......

Haha, sorry dude, i wasn't aware. i'm not the most mechanical guy kicking around, but i just finished my engineering degree, so i have a modest amount of knowledge.

How come you're selling? i miss my skyline, but i got a good replacement

Veilsides been to a money making seminar...............................run by some rich septic tank or motivator I'd guess.

[it's all a guess].

Good luck with it all.

Couldn't do it myself, too much fun to be had all my life to sacrifice any of it. Anyway, I took the easy option, I got a good paying steady job that I like = Hydrography [don't ask, look it up].

dunno Andrew, i'll have to ask, thanks though i'll let you know ASAP.

bahaha trident, no i havnt been to any anthony robins seminars, i have been thinking about it for quite some time now but after talking with another local forum member ive made my mind up, so i guess you could say if i fail, it will all be his fault!!! bahaha!

but in all serious i have spoken with several people who are experienced in real estate, investing, you name it, if they can help give advice in anyway ive been speaking with them, last thing i would do with a descision this big is not think about it. meh anyway, will hopefully have the controller by the end of next week.

      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?
