MM i thought the jrdsports ones were just cheap rip offs of marks ones? As in just replicas, no effort put into them just a design stolen.. Thats what i thought anyway..

Indeed. f**k this other bloke who has ripped off Mark's design, I know I'll stay a loyal customer to him - he makes an excellent product and was the original innovator!

I just received one of these last night. hooked it up to my s14 this morning, and can't seem to get it to sit at 8psi.. i'm scared that if i wind it out too far, that the bolt will fall out. does anyone else have this problem?

Brian.

guess you didnt read that they have a minimum of about 2psi higher than stock boost. if ur wastegate is 7psi, you wont be able to get much less than about 9psi.

if u wind it out too far you will get stock boost or boost leak/running rich/shit depending in the screw you wind out no longer seals the air

if ur getting it to 9/10 then its probably working right. do you have a fmic, and what boost source are you using? when it spikes to 10, does it then come back to 9? does it do it more in low gears than higher gears?

i've got fmic.

thats how its been set up. (i know clips are on, its for illustration purposes). the red pipe goes to the fmic piping.

i'm pretty sure that it doesn't go back to 9. it'll just keep creeping up. its hit 12 before i've backed off.

the boost source should be the bottom, opposite bolt. the middle one goes to wastegate

the boost source should be as close to turbo compressor outlet as possible. u might get spiking if its on the manifold side of a bit fmic

Firstly I must say props to SirMark. I had my controller delivered within 3 days of the direct deposit, great service :)

Secondly, it works brilliantly. Boost builds beautifully and holds really well. On my RB20DET it hits 14psi at about 3500rpm, I think but it might be a bit lower. Boost tapers off to 12psi when the revs get up to 5000-5500ish but that's obviously just the turbo maxing out its efficiency.

All plumbed in nicely now, still works 100%. Amazing little controller and an absolute bargain at this price. I've since fixed all the missfire issues it caused (Note that it wasn't the controller's fault, missfires were from coils/plugs not holding up under the extra airflow from higher boost) and the car feels great.

Props to Mark for a great MBC.

Ben.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
