I think a VAC line closest to the throttle body, on the intake pipe, is the best place to get boost readings from? Not 100%, some tech head will correct me if I'm mistaken hehe :)

But here is how you would connect it..

Get a T-piece, cut the VAC line, put the T -Piece in-between the line you just cut, and run a VAC line from the 3rd connection to your boost gauge.

Easy done! Good luck.

Thanks,

Abu

That's how it's done in my car and it works fine.

This is where the stock boost gauge is plumbed in.

If you don't have a nipple there already unscrew the metal bung and replace it with an appropriate nipple,

you might be able to get one from the for sale section or a wrecker.

how do you tap in that bolt? I need some kinda part like from GTSTs

:laugh:

i would take the bolt out and take it to someone like conventry and ask for a nipple to replace it, you should be able to get away with something that has a tappered threat and get some thread lock and your done peice of cake, but where that bolt is, is where the gtst get there boost reading from.

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
