i'd be looking at the new intake. more likely to be that rather than the boost controller, since the boost controller isnt doing anything when your off boost.

new intake as in what? new pod? new intake pipe? new plenum? has your afm been messed around with?

i tightened it up to 10psi and i havent had the stalling prob again yet... i dunno, just mustve been something weird...

I have had mine running without the restrictor and it sux, the screw is bearly in and the boost is very hard to controll. Myabe mine is dogey, i have had mine appart to chech everything and no good, going to test a mates one and see if it work ok.

having the restrictor in means that there is less pressure after it/before the controller. this means that the screw has to be looser to keep the boost pressure at the required level. having the restrictor out means that the controller is getting the full pressure, so the screw has to be further in to stop it being forced open.

i don't have a restrictor in mine. i put a new bit of hose on there. didn't seem to affect it at all.

fugi- yes cubes instructions still apply. when he is talking about a bleed valve he is talking about a boost controller. doesn't matter what type.

Thanks man.

I will give it a try.

nah the ball isint getting stuck ive had it apart a few times the spring looks really dodgy in it . reckon someone has had a play with it for what ever reason and buggered it i reckon the spring is too heavy for it to work as it should

hey mad082, do you remember a while ago i did the 'high boost on stock solenoid' mod and my boost went infinite? couldnt work out what happened. well today i found a unichip piggybacked to my ecu that i didnt know was there. lol. now from what i understand, the unichip intercepts afr's, timing, and possibly boost, thru the ecu.

so i guess this may have been why it freaked out.

i might remove this BC when i find a tuner for the unichip, and set the boost thru the ecu, if it's possible. but it shouldnt hurt anything having it there for now, yeah?

there is no bleed valve on a 32. just take that hose off and get a longer piece and put it on with the controller in the middle of it.

munkyboy, is there any sort of solenoid being run off the piggyback? does it have a vacuum hose running to it?

no other solenoid besides the stock one.

there's no vacuum hose going to the unit.

yesterday the tuner that looked at it told me these are capable of controlling boost thru the ecu, if it's been wired up that way. so i dont actually know if it has been. there's an extra box connected to the unichip aswell, not sure what that ones for. he suggested possibly fuel cut defender type of thing. just guessing at this stage.

when i track down a reasonably priced tuner for unichip, all will be revealed.

edit: the turbotech seems to be doing its job, so i dont think there will be any issues with clashing interest between the ecu and the bc. whatcha think ?

generally once you do exhaust you get a boost rise.

munkyboy- how do they figure that it can control the boost through the stock ecu? i wasn't aware that the stock ecu could control boost other than the 2psi jump.

Ahh.. however when i brought the car my cuzin said that he too to the mechanics one day and the guy goes ohh i can put a bleed valve in for u. and he rcns he did.. is there certin places i can cheack just to make sure.. or is that the only place a bleed valve can go.

dunno dude. that's what i was told. but i'm still not sure if it's the case with my unichip.

i'm guessing the stock solenoid gets the signal from the ecu to run a certain psi. i mean we know it can work for 5 and 7 psi. why not higher?

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
