Car was sold ages ago, just updating the post. If someone can remove my number or delete the post so I don't get anymore calls, thanks.

Price drop: $8,500

Solved with another wastegate actuator

Ok so I've decided I want a 34. I haven't had this car for long but in the time I've had it I've spent a major amount of time getting the mechanical sides of things running as near as new as possible. Car in question is a 1995 Model R33 GTS-T Manual Coupe 163,000ks Located in Melbourne. Asking: $9,400 Things that have been done in the last 600kms are: Exhaust manifold gasket Water pump Turbo gasket and studs Thermostat Bendix front brakes Spark plugs Engine and transmission oil with filters. Turbo checked and in good condition. Vacuum hoses replaced Shockers checked by pedders and passed there test. Rest of suspension is in very good condition compared to other skylines out there (Was told by pedders) Car has a front mount intercooler + Pod filter. HKS exhaust from the cat back GTR body kit. Original floor mats Clean interior Car comes with RWC and 12 months rego. At the moment, there is small crack in the front bumper which is being fixed up, hopefully this will be done soon. Sorry for the bad quality pics, not sure what was up with the camera but will get some better ones soon. Can contact me on 0411537007

Restrictor what? I've replaced the pipe with a new piece of fuel pipe to make sure there were no leaks. So without the restrictor it would overboost? Ill check the old pipe. Also do you need the restrictor when using an aftermarket boost controller? When I had the apexi hooked up it was still over boosting.

Will give it a try tonight, how much should the wastegate move from closed position? I drew a quick diagram to help explain, the diagram shows the lever in the closed position, should it be able to rotate only 45 to the vertical? or upto 90 degrees? etc... Thanks.

hmmm... just ran a test. Hooked the air comp up to the wastegate and the rod moved the same amount that I can move it by hand. (If I grab the rod with pliers I cant move it I have to grab the connection at the turbo and twist, should it be easier to move?) So it seems as if the swing valve is getting stuck, but its a stock system so I cant see anything being in the way. I'm not sure what to do here, the test wasn't exactly scientific so not sure if I can rely on it. What should I do?

Has always done this since Ive had the car, which has been only a couple of weeks. I thought it was the boost controller not working properly so I removed the boost controller and it still over boosts. I can move the actuator rod with a pair of pliers, But I dont know the limits of how much it should be able to move, it could be getting jammed and I dont even know. Actually Ill move it by hand and measure the throw, then ill put compressed air to it and measure the throw. If the throw is less with the air then the actuator is stuffed. If the throw is the same then something is stopping the wastegate from opening completely and will probably need turbo out to inspect. Am I on the right track here?

I cant for the life of me find a replacement actuator, all the generic ones have a straight pushrod and it wont clear the turbo intake... anyone got ideas? Does the standard actuator pull apart so I can replace just the spring or do I have to replace the whole assembly?

stock turbo yes, but its over boosting. Returned it to stock setup with new vacuum hose and clamps but it still over boosts to 12 psi. The whine comes on mostly in first and 2nd gear as soon as it starts boosting though even within the normal boost limits. Smoke test? I make some smoke and see where it gets sucked in? Ok how do I make the smoke, im a non smoker!

Im getting that high pitched whine ontop of the sucking I can hear from my pod filter. From what I've read the high pitch whine is a leak in the compressed side of things, but at idle if you rev the car its still a vacuum so the old detergent trick wont work. Whats the best way to find the leak?

Its an L shape. Comes off the side of the wastegate heading to the side of the car then it bends heading towards the front. kind of looks like this one http://www.nissanparts.cc/catalog/nissan/R...SM%20NPLOGO.jpg

Car in question is a R33 GTS-T only mods are a front mount, CAI and a larger exhaust from the cat back (so I dont think it would really affect the back pressure) So my car has been boosting to around 12psi no matter what setting I put the boost controller on... I removed the apexi boost controller and put a new hose with new hose clamps straight from the wastegate actuator to the intake piping. Car should be running 7 or 8 psi now like stock. Anyways it still overboosts, I can hit 12psi in any gear if I plant it, im sure it would go more but the car starts to miss or backfire and starts acting all jerky. Does anyone else have any ideas of anything else to check before I replace the wastegate solenoid?

Sorry, car is r33 rb25det. jjskyline79 you have confused me with those pictures. I've never seen the stock setup remember so I dont know what the stock solenoid looks like. But from what I understand, if I just go straight from the inlet pipe to the wastgate then I will just get a solid 7psi all the time? If someone can confirm this then that would be good enough for me. (thinking about getting rid of the 33 and buying a 34, so want to take the apexi controller with me)
