can't you get it through ebay? or does it specifically say only oz?

i'm sure if you emailed him, and paid for one, with a little extra postage... he'd send it to NZ? it's still an item that needs to be taken to the post office... don't see what the difference is really?

Build your own one. It's not exactly rocket science. Probably cost you half as much aswell. Just make sure you use a good quality spring and ball bearing which isn't going to rust.

dont bother building one for the price, just pay the man for a few $$$ postage. Mine is hilding 240rwkw at 19psi and boost is a flat line... perfect. 100% I wish all mods were this simple :(

I ordered one of these from Ebay weeks ago - still have not received it! Now I'm just thinking of getting an EBC anyway...

PS - I have since received it - looks good. Kind of wishing I had gone down the EBC path now though as I have also brought an autometer boost gauge to use with it and am having trouble finding a good spot for it. R34's need more space around the dash!!!!

So my car started making a strange noise lately when I get on boost. A loud blowing noise, air escaping through somewhere.

I had banged my exhaust and it started right afterward, so I thought I must have cracked the exhaust or otherwise put a leak in it.

Today I put it in to get checked out, and I get a call from my mechanic saying that the exhaust is fine etc., but he pinpointed the sound to be coming from my turbotech boost controller. He opened it up and said there was no ball bearing - what the hell!? I can't think of any explanation for this... And so he reckons because the ball bearing was missing, then air was rushing out the little hole in the side of the boost controller which was making the noise.

Although if there was no ball bearing then my boost should be hitting rediculous levels, but I certainly didn't notice it.

I'm dumbfounded...

Is he sure there's no ball bearing?

Some times they stick inside due to the oil and crap and only the spring falls out.

If there was no ball bearing in there it would be quite the opposite, only a slight increase in boost and thats it. Boost would not hit rediculous levels. :P

Yeah it's definitely not there... I asked him are you sure it didn't fall out and he said yes.

And that was dumb, I'd forgotten how it worked...

The sound is still terrible :sick: It sounds like my turbo has water in it or something. Hard to describe...

u should have a guage measuring before manifold boost pressure.. whats it reading. its a bit stupid to have a BC without a guage.. how would u calibrate it?

It was 7-8 before installing and 9-10 after installing. I was just going by the stock gauge. I was more thinking along the lines of if the gauge was stuffed, I didn't notice a stupid increase in power.

Anyway, Mark (Turbotech) responded to my email within an hour to tell me what size bearing to use... thanks!

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
