The last owner of my car has put an external wastegate on it, the smart guys have put it on so that it is in the way of a rubber pipe coming off the intercooler piping and they have just ignored that and let the piece of rubber pipe sit on the external wastegate (real smart lol) and now there is a reasonable sized hole melted in the pipe. Would somebody be able to tell me what the pipe is for and what it does. Would it be leaking boost? The guy that i bought the car off sais that ever since he put the wastegate on the car has been missing and/or boost cutting could this have anything to do with it? Thanx for any help.

that will definately be leaking. i bet the idle is all over the place, and the car probably doesnt run too good on boost.

replace the hose and wrap it in some heatshielding like that alfoil looking stuff in the background.

Thats the hose that gives the AAC valve (idle valve) air to bypass the throttle plate. Basically feeds air at idle, cuz without it no air would be able to enter the engine when the throttle is shut. Yes it will be leaking boost big time as it runs directly off your intake pipe. Replace it and i would hope most of your issues will be gone :D

Oh and also about a week ago i started the car and it ran for a couple of seconds and then just died, and then when i tried to start it again it was just turning over but wouldnt start..i sat there for a while with it turning over and giving it a bit of gas and after a while it struggled and then it started again..could this hose be something to do with that?

Take it to a dyno tuner to get it 100% checked out. Now that you have sealed the air leak, the wastegate will be set toooo high. Hopefully the turbo has not been damaged due the that massive hole in the hose, the poor thing would have been spinning off it's nuts to keep boost :D.

Sounds like the previous owner had no idea, get the whole driveline/tune checked, by a professional, ASAP!

And fit an alloy heat shield round that gate!

      There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.

      That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/er34/3945-rb25det/trans/317/31940N/ The pictures of the part you're talking about is clearly not just one solenoid. You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
