you could try http://www.rhdjapan.com or www.nengun.com, or best of all Matty @ newera can probably source one easily and save you on freight! (Newera Parts)

you are looking for the PFC boost control kit - so it's a 3bar MAP sensor, a solenoid and assoc. wiring.

part number (don't quote me!) 415-A001

Whatever you do, dont buy one from GTR_City in NZ
They are clueless twits who charge like wounded bulls and dont know diddly about anything they sell.

Frosty, they were selling a "Straight cut os giken close ratio gearbox"
I was genuinely interested in a cr box for my car.
They said it had a "extra tall 5th for better ecomony"
I asked them which version box it was, they couldnt tell me.
I said i wasnt aware of os making a gearbox like that, and to the best of my knowledge the only option other than standard was ,a less tall 5th gear.
Then it turned out to be a hellically cut box, probably a type "a", then they blacklisted me as they couldnt answer any of my questions, which were all genuine and resonable.

They are clowns, they had a second hand pcf pro, they wanted more $$ than a new pcf c/w commander etc:

They have right now an R32 gearset for sale with wording something like "ideal for donnor synchros for an os gearkit"
Thing is you cant use the 32 sychros with the os gearkit, you have to use 33 parts.

They have a second hand pfc d-jetro for sale for more than a new one from nengun and state that "it would cost $2500 and take 6 months to get from japan"
Nengun have them on the shelf for 919 au delivered with everything , maps , commanader etc:

They are a classic case of someone using "dads" money to set up a business without doing any research first.
I have less then o respect for anything they do.

a bit of a correction, I believe the Apexi MAP sensor only reads 2 bars. Either that, or the Power FC doesn't read values over 2 bar. Not a problem for most people, but there are some psychos who actually run that much boost

You can actually "build" a boost control kit out of a AVCR Solenoid and MAP sensor like I did. I didn't want to butcher my ECU, so I ordered the Apexi boost control harness and used this. Much cheaper then buying the whole kit..

hi yeah we do them got one in stock i believe

frostmotorsport · 25th August 2008, 09:34 AM

Glenn - yeah, they are complete a$$-clowns. I talked to them when I was looking for a GTR as they had lots of 32's (which I wanted at the time) - but I found out that you usually paid your money and got a car with a doggy old high-mileage motor and all the good bits swapped out for trash!

KC - sorry, may have had a brain-fart - cannot remember if it was 2 or 3 bar. I'll take your word over mine at the mo as my memory has not been the flashest!! p.s. If anyone knows where to buy the MAP sensor on it's own, let me know (other than RHD)

Statchi - how simple (or otherwise) is the harness? should be a simple thing to knock up with some wires, connectors and a soldering iron??? Given the cost of the boost control kit over here, and relatively cheap cost of the individual parts =- would make sense to make it instead of buy it!
