Post up a picture of what you have got and we can tell you what is missing.:(

I have the solenoid that goes to the actuator, im missing the part that reads boost pressure from the manifold.

The R32GTST is quite different because the Power FC was made by AP Engineering, not Apexi themselves.  It is a bit of a hybrid Power FC with some features found on the GTR Power FC's.  Plus the R32GTST has a map sensor standard, with input to the Power FC (R33GTST's don't).

So when you get the Boost Control Kit it will come with a map sensor that you don't have to use.  The boost control solenoid is simply wired into the outputs of the Power FC.  When you have it, PM me and I will give you the pin outs.

Hey SydneyKid,

Just curious about how you mention that the Map sensor input to the PowerFC where as the R33's dont

If i happen to use a PFC from an R33 on my R32 should it work?

The reason i ask is because i have been using one for more than 6 months now with no problems and always wondered if there was any different between the wiring or connection?

Also is there any difference between the AP PFC and Apexi PFC?

Thanks

Rob

Hi Rob, I have heard of people using R33GTST PFC's in R32GTST's, I have also heard of people using R332/33 GTR PFC's in R32GTSTs. I have not done it myself so I can't say whether it is perfect or not.

AP Engineering supply PFC for models of cars that Apexi don't, they are low volume specialty PFC's that Apexi don't believe it is worthwhile programming for. AP Engineering PFC's are more expensive than Apexi. Looking at our R32GTST PFC (AP Engineering) it is much like an R32GTR PFC physically. AP seem to have devised several program changes (eg; deleting one AFM) so that it will work on an R32GTST. But they have left a few others (eg; inlet air temp) that you wouldn't expect to find on a GTST PFC.

:D

HI SydneyKid

Thanks for above as i was always curious about any differences between them.

      Meh. I "see" a typo above, that should have been "sell".

      Nismo copper mix twin “pull” pedal height engagement

      The clutch pedal has a procedure for adjustment. This can only be done after you are 100% sure the system is absolutely free of air bubbles. You must bleed the clutch master cylinder first, then the "separation pipe" which is the clutch damper line, then the operating cylinder as detailed in the service manual. Also, you must fully depress the clutch pedal between shifts. Just because you can't feel it grabbing does not mean the input shaft is truly decoupled from the crank. At high RPM clutch plates are vibrating and moving around, you need to give it the best possible chance of success. On the BCNR33 Nissan revises these adjustment procedures slightly but not by much: I would be careful with trying to play games with these adjustments. As for the Nismo operating cylinder they say a lot of things. In practice the twin plate clutch needs less movement on the clutch fork to disengage because the whole stackup of the flywheel + friction plates + pressure plate is much taller. Personally if you find that the clutch still disengages too high at the top of the travel I would try the Nismo operating cylinder. Make sure to follow the air bleed procedures.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Thank you for the links. I’m going to go with the 6pin plug you used. next step is rust treating re painting dash support bar and steering column then the 6pin cradle plug when it arrives in the mail.

      I don't how much the car makes a difference or whether it is just a question of gearbox and clutch. On mine it's fine. Pull type Nismo coppermix twin (standard, not competition) on the 5 speed in my Stagea. OEM slave cylinder. Bite point is a few cm off the very bottom of the pedal. Clutch pedal all the way down to put in gear, and when heading off at the lights, there's a tiny bit of nothing and then it starts biting. And fully engaged before the pedal is all the way released. There's a bit of play at the top where the pedal does nothing anymore. Are you in Australia @ck_chino? If you are set on using a Nismo slave cylinder I have one new-in-box at home. Ordered it together with the clutch but didn't get it fitted. We can work something out if you want it

      I am using a pull nismo coppermix twin in an r34 getrag box, had both the standard slave and  then the nismo one. Adjusted pedal to get bite point how I wanted , it is on the higher side, but would fully disengage past half way down.  I also read that the nismo slave won't work but I had no issues with the stroke, might become one later as clutch wears but 2+ years of happy motoring so far.  Take the above as one input only, specially as my setup is a bit unique in that I am using an S15 clutch master , cefiro clutch pedal, custom braided clutch line. Lots of variables at play.
