my r33 gtst needs to pass an EPA test and to do so i need to have standard boost control parts running. at the moment i have a duel stage boost controller and it runs fine with the duel stage. when i put the vac lines to the standard controller it overboosts. can someone tell me what vac lines need to go where? also i have made sure the plug that comes from the standard controller is plugged in and i have even tried another one from a mates car. could the wiring for the standard controller be used for the aftermarket unit? if so what should i be testing for with the multi meter? the after market controller has an earth wire and a wire running through the firewall and i cant see if the wire from the standard plug has been cut as it dissapears into a loom. any help would be much appreciated. thanks, brad (also my car has a standard turbo,FMIC and at the moment the airbox is fitted and i have checked for vaccum leaks)

You won't need a multimeter... the standard solanoid should give 5psi if it's not working properly, and 7psi if it is.

I suggest that your plumbing is not quite right... from the intake pipe down the bottom, the pipe should come into the bottom of the solanoid (I think.. if not, switch them around), and then the top one goes to your wastegate actuator.

i treid the lines both ways but i was a little worried id do some damage can anybody confirm which way they are supposed to go? also id like to know what im looking for with a multimeter with the wires coming from the solinoid as i said before i tried the vac lines both ways and i even tried another solinoid from my mates car which i know works.

from memory one of the lines was running to a T peice, also one line had a little restrictor in it, if thats not in the right place that may cause your problem.

Let me work out what needs to go where cos im in the exact same boat as you, i have a dual stage boost controller installed and i need to put the standard one back on so i can get it trough RoadWorthy.

Ok here is what i worked out on how to properly install the stock boost controller.

First off there is a hose from the actuator goin to a T peice, its only short and it has a yellow band on it because it has a brass restrictor in it.

From the T peice it goes to the BOV retuirn pipe.

Then from the T peice it goes to the bottom of the boost controller.

The last is a straight hose goin from the intercoller pipe to the top of the boost controller.

Can someone please confirm this for me, i just want to be %100 sure.

I mainly want to know if the restrictor is in the short hose coming off the actuator and goin to the T peice.

I hjope this helps, im %99 sure this is right which i would love someone to confirm this all for me ..

no thats wrong.

(if you have a front mount there will be a hose from the bov pressure line (the vacuum hose that opens the bov) instead of the intercooler pipe)

there should be hose hose from an intercooler pipe. this goes to a T piece. from the T piece there should be 1 hose going to the wastegate, and 1 to the lower hose of the factory solenoid. the top hose of the solenoid should go back to the intake (bov plumback pipe).

Ok this is straight from the Nissan Fast program, so thjere is no disputing it.

Top of the boost controller goes straight to the wastegate.

The bottom goes to the T peice.

One side of the T peice goes straight to the intercooler pipe.

The other side of the T peice goes straight to the BOV return plumbing.

Thats it, 100%..

I also found a picture in another thread showing the stock setup i described.

The restrictor is in the short hose goin from the intercooler pipe to the T peice, make sure you have the restrictor in place.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.

      Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.

      Bit of a similar question, apprently with epoxy primer you can just sand the panel to 240 grit then apply it and put body filler on top. So does that basically mean you almost never have to go to bare metal for simple dents?

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.

      I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.
