Hey guys!

Just rebuilding my R32 GTR and wondering if anyone had the vaccum line diagram or photo for underneath the intake manafold

Theres a by-pass valve/unit underneath the manafold with a few vac lines coming off it and i dont know where it all goes. Alot of them have been plumbed off by someone else in the past

If someone knows where all this goes it would be a great help

Thanks

Thanks heaps duncan!

I'll have a look when i get back to work. I've got that service manuel too but sometimes its easier if you have an actual photo.

So much crap under that manifold. I guess thats the price you pay for having the best car in the world :D

Thanks again

the 2 vaccum lines (small hard lines underneath) are often blocked off with aftermarket boost control, you just take the feed from the rearmost exit from the plenum and run it to the solenoid, and then to the wastegates from there. Or is it something else they have blocked off?

well most the lines have been blocked with a bolt or screw. I've got like 4 lines that come off the idle solenoid that go no where, all blocked. Just wanna set it back to factory

I'll put it back together and when i do ill give you a holler. Do you work on these much?

I've got that service manuel too but sometimes its easier if you have an actual photo.

I spent many hours on the weekend printing out the service manual and putting it in plastic sleeves in a display folder. It's way easier to read that way and it means you can have the folder (or page) in the garage with you when working on your vehicle.

Cost me about $60 in materials from officeworks.

If it looks like a pretzel it is the breather for the front diff. One end goes to the diff, the other is open.

You are my god!!!! I have spent many an hour looking through the service manual and even fast screens trying to find the blody thing

Thank You

I take it the 2 lines ive marked in red are the ones that the hoses run from to the factory boost solenoid?

if so .. im running a greddy boost controller directly to the intake plenum and the wast gates so dont need to use it.. but i have lines

still running from them to the factory solenoid..if i remove the solenoid and the rubber lines.. should i join the 2 points together with a small bit of rubber hose of cap each one off separately?? just dont want to effect anything else that may or may not be running on either side of those vacuum lines..

    • Ok sounds good. Hopefully if I end up changing it to the nismo bushes I don't get that veering issue. I don't think there's a point in lubing up these bushes again. Weird that it it makes just as much noise with all the grease inside it versus without grease prior to removal. Bizarre.
    • Yeah, you don't need camber bushes on stock arms to make a car drive straight unless it's got another problem. F'rigsample, slide the thing into a kerb, bend the front subframe mounts a little....subframe is now twisted, shifted or otherwise in the wrong spot...and you need to do funky stuff with the wheel alignment to get it to drive straight. Maybe a little more caster on one side, or a little more camber. FWIW, I can have my camber off side to side by a half a degree or more, and either way, so more one side, or more on the other, and the car doesn't really want to pull to one side. It will definitely ride road camber differently, and want to track uphill (ie, towards the centreline when on the LHS of a normal crowned piece of road, like it should) or want to roll downhill (which it really shouldn't). But on fairly flat road surfaces, like the middle of a 3 or 4 lane motorway, a half a degree either way doesn't make a lot of difference. I sometimes do quite a few miles with my wheel alignment messed up, because I don't always get a chance to set it right again after a serious dismantling, before I have to drive it to work again. Like, a whole week's worth of daily shuffle.
    • To clarify, I meant nismo bushes, not control arms (don't even think that's a thing for my car). So the suspension specialist said, if I buy those nismo bushes which are perfectly centered it will cause my car to veer in one direction. Whereas he said the current offset bushes that I have were put in on purpose to fix that issue. This will be my third wheel alignment if I put these bushes in lol. My chassis is straight, all my rails are clean.
    • OK, well, in that case, the suspension specialist is either a moron, or you aren't understanding what he was trying to tell you. Nismo arms are not really different than stock arms. Both are fixed geometry. I don't know if the Nismo ones are a little shorter than the stockers (or perhaps even a little longer) or the same length, but....if you swap from stock to Nismo, whatever happens to one side will happen to the other side. It will not cause it to steer left or right. That is unless you have adjustable bushes in your stockers, and they happen to be adjusted to dial out some bent chassis shenanigans. But, if that were the case, you'd just put adjustables in the Nismo arms anyway, because Nismo arms are essentially just expensive stock arms. And doing a wheel alignment is just a weekly thing in my world. I have had the suspension apart so many times this year that I've lost count and just about worn out a torque wrench. I'm out in the shed right now cutting up some alloy section and making bases for my new stringline setup. Got to make new swivel plates next, then I'm good to do toe properly, as well as camber and bump steer.
    • Yeah, nah. Not a thing. The gasket between the top of the plenum and the runners is far more likely to blow out when it gets old, and not really at ~14 psi. These things have been run to double that for 30 years without that being a common thing.
