    had all pipes and tubes checked at the dyno (full diagnostic). Intercooler clean as a whistle .. had a catch can fitted as soon as I got the car and i check the filter every week or so when i check oil levels .. all clean and i mean nothing at all. All I know is, during the Dyno the performance was higher than stock but that was after the 3 inch exhaust was fitted. The car had only done 54000 when I bought it back in November last year. Engine diagnostics were check at last service (about a month ago) and their were no faults in the system. MAF sensor was also cleaned as well along with a new fuel filter. Runs like a sewing machine. Plus surprisingly good acceleration from say 90 to 130 ..

    The vacuum off-takes I just haven't bought yet but they are cheap as chips from any pneumatic centre.

    Great you have catch can and sounds like you are keeping maintenance up to it. Yes they do run well, must say though always looking for more torque low down but is the way it is.
    A couple of years ago when I did 3" exhaust, manual boost control, full NADS, stock turbo / ECU she was a good run, just different these days.

    Yeah foam a good fix for right foot jumping rough going but CRD do suffer from excessive throttle lag resulting from drive by wire in lieu steel woven cable.

    I've run an IDRIVE for a few years now on my 2014 Y61. Works well, and you can substantially reduce the throttle response for off-road use.

    Thats definetly what I want to hear .. I dont have an issue with the patrols power in the higher rev range but it's too touchy at just above idle speeds. I think if/when I can afford to stick 33's on her it will help slightly but it's the control that is important at the lower speeds. Yes the idrive is certainly on the wish list .. hmmm the wish list has grown .. I have to start a second page arrrggghhhh

    Just a quick note to all. Got the Idrive today and chucked it on .. what a difference .. E5 and all the embarrassing kangaroo hops around carparks are gone .. havent tried many other settings yet but straight away she's fully controllable at the lowest speeds from idle .. very happy ..

    Hi guys, this may have been done but I'm new so bare with me.
    Have a GQ RB30 non turbo in QLD but live in Melbourne with my beloved GU 2012. Have had it remapped by a reputable company in Dandenong but for the money I paid I'm not real impressed. Looking into adding a throttle controller but heard some horror stories. I have a stock exhaust, 2" lift, staying with 33s. When remapped was told I would notice the difference in towing. Don't really tow but did on the Geelong bypass a substantial load but not that heavy and lost a fair bit of momentum. Strike! Still have turbo lag, Strike! Cost me best part of $1400, Strike!
    I've been googling a lot and my mechanic hates throttle controllers.
    Can someone give me some light?!
    Setting this girl up for the long haul witha lot of touring in mind. I want her to go the distance.

    Looking forward to your responses.
    Steve.

    Hi Steve,

    My understanding is a throttle controller really works best on s Drive by Wire throttle rather than a cable actuated throttle.

    I would point you at something like a UniChip as a power upgrade. What did you get for $1400? Surely that in x lures dome bolt ons or Chip?

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
