SIKR33

On the internet, as in real life, there are certain rules that people should follow - in this case, they are referred to as 'netiquette'. Here are a couple of links I found by typing 'netiquette' into Google:

You will note that typing with caps lock on, apart from being annoying to read, is considered as shouting on the internet, and can also be considered rude in some circumstances.

Noone is suggesting that you're an idiot or anything because you use caps lock - in fact, I think most of us appreciate you taking the time to post up little tidbits of info like that in your top post. It's simply more pleasant to read something that's written in lower case or, preferably, mixed case (proper capitalisation). Please don't bite someone's head off because they have the nerve to offer constructive criticism.

Please, PLEASE, turn your caps lock off. Think of it like the indicator on your car. It isn't absolutely necessary to use it to go places, but it sure as hell makes the trip far more pleasant for those you encounter along the way.

Yes, I had a spare five seconds to look up that info. It shows a huge amount of immaturity on your part for attacking people who have a simple request, like pressing ONE KEY on your keyboard. All of 23 posts to your name and already stirring shìt.

570CK, I've read what he has to say and its useless info. As a FYI, I went out to my garage and fondled the hose's going to the solenoid that I'd previously removed. No restrictor. Its a well known GTR tip, not one for the 25t.

Can a mod please, please ban SIKR33. Every post I've read from him has been useless. Every sugestion to him to not use caps has been ignored.

anyone got more info on the location of this restrictor? or some pics?

does it restrict air before it enters the turbo or boosted air after it leaves the turbo? coz if it is after then it will probably up the boost won't it? And for soemone running on 10psi (me!) that could mean turbo danger in the future if you rise again.

I don't think you're dazzling anyone with your intelligence. Ignoring and subsequently attacking people with an incredibly simple request is not a good way to make friends in here.

Anyway, getting back on topic, a restrictor in the wastegate line, particularly after any boost controller, can only slow the passage of pressurised air, thereby causing boost to come on harder and possibly with a small spike. Surely removing it will slow boost response and remove any short spike in the boost curve? So, without some form of EBC or at least a gated bleed valve, the car will feel more sluggish. With an aftermarket controller, you don't want a restriction to affect the function of the controller so in this case, go for it and remove the restrictor.

Yep is does cause the boost to spike

Hey guys, the point that needs to be acknowledged in this discussion is that it only applies to the GTR. For people who think that it does not increase power, your wrong.

Last week I was told by my tuner/mechanic who specialises in GTR's said that he was surprised that I still had the restrictor in, apperantly it's the first thing you do when buying a GTR (remove restrictor), and it DOES NOT harm your engine or turbo.

Anyway I had my car tuned on the dyno and it went from 185 rwkws (stock boost) to 215 rwkws with taking out restrictor and installing adjustable cam gears/dialing in cams. Boost increased to 13.5 psi, but only held 12.7 psi through high revs. However Powewr FC with boost solenoid and hand controller are going in in the next few weeks, to increase boost to 1.1 bar (apprx 16psi) and lean out the fuel (was running 10.8 a/f ratio). Power should increase to 240-250 rwkws.

Therefore by taking out restrictor it increased boost from approx. 9 psi to 13 psi. Definetly a power increase there.

Just thought I'd shine some light into the discussion.

P.S Other mods incl full exhaust (3'' high flow cat), Apexi pod filter kit, oil catch can.

guys if you dont believe me ask the guys at tilbrooks auto and dyno theyre the guys who told me to remove the factory retstrictor and seriously i have had no problems here the car goes like a shower of shit AND YES i am a licenced aircraft maintenance engineer i did 6 1/2 years in the RAAF in ardu

AIRCRAFT research and DEVELOPMENT uNIT BASED AT raaf EDINBURGH sorry guys i know a hellava lot more about jet turbines did my basic training on turbo charged aircraft engines

so believe what you want gredenko and inasnt

dont like what i write well F%^k u

Unless Nissan started putting RB26's in the series II (and did a damn good job of disguising them), you ain't got no restrictor. I don't know what the hell you've been pulling out of your engine bay to make it "go like a shower of shit", but it sure as hell wasn't a restrictor.

Wait! Maybe you turned your back on the car one day and someone dumped a RB26 in there for you. That would explain it!

Dude, don't believe me. Believe the vacum hoses that came off my car.

Name dropping hey. Well then, that backs up everything you've said. Two can play at that. I just got off the phone with HKS Japan, want to know what they said? They said you should stop waving your dick about in forums. The 25t has no boost restrictor, you probably misunderstood what ever it was tilbrooks was trying to tell you. Adding a restrictor (in the right place) will increase boost however.

    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I elongate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for?   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance
