Joe your lucky you never lowered your car - because your place is absolute murder for lowered cars took me about 15mins of very slow driving to get down that ramp of yours in the Line!!

But i used to work in this place that had a highrise underground carpark and i was only privledged to bring my car in if i had to work til 6pm. I hated that job - but anyway on the way down i used to set off every alarm i could in the ZX (plus ive left black marks in that carpark for them to remember me by) hin the hope that their batteries would be flat when they left - did i mention i hated that job haha!!

Dont take the line into highrise carparks often as i find that the ramps constantly scrape my kit because its lowered aghh! I did once when i had job interview - and never again because every ramp was *sccccraapeee*

Who said I never lowered the car... well you are right I didn't lower the car but my car already been Lowered... but not as low as your or Angel's car.

after taking out my struts I found out that my springs and shockies are not stock... they are some jap after market.

yeah I know my place is very very bad for any lowered car!

even my mate's VX SS commie touches his exhaust on that ramp... :D

hahaha speaking of highrise building car parks... under cover car park at bank west is shocking when I drive my car the exhaust is sooo loud due to echo factor sets off the all the alarm of BMW, Firrararary, Jags.... you name it I set off their alram... heheh.

I got told by sercurity guard to slow down... he think I speed through the car park. :) come on I dont want to hit any of the cars in there ;)

Not a problem.

Don't forget I have owned a couple with two more cams , one more turbo and a LOT less room to work under the bonnet.

Aussie delivered - yes it is which gave me a shock when i found out because it had to have gone up to hong kong first then come back down here in 95. Been with Ash Farlay for all of its lifespan til it came into my evil hands in 2000.

In really good nick.

didnt happen to go up my street yesterday arvo did ya? haha mum was painting the front lounge and i get "Lauren, Lauren come here quick before ya miss it" but i was too late - apparently a white skyline was doing a slow cruise of the our street and since skylines are a extremely rare sight around here - she reckons it was somebody looking for my car haha.

my cars around - its usually parked down the side - or quite often im out. I dont exactly spend much time "cruising" around high wycombe haha you'll often see the car parked outside the liqour shop picking up something haha

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
