Hey people, im looking at my stock turbo, and my new turbo.. and the HKS one has a line running from the top of the turbo to the actuator.? how am i meant to set the boost unless the boost controller is between it?? I got one of them turbosmart boost t things.. And if its not meant to be set up like the line running from the top of the turbo to actuator, why do they send em out connected like that! so idiots like me hook em up and blow up the motor? im guessing that the factory one has the vacume line comming from elsewhere through boost controller to actuator? and having it at the top of turbo just stops messy vacume tubes running around engine bay?? I think i have decided not to put it on till i have the Z32, splitfire coils and injectors. otherwise its a waste of time going to get a tune every time i just add something on... what u's think?and anyone know where u can find a dump pipe thats in 2 peices that i can bolt the exhaust thingi that comes outta a HKS kit? factory dump pipe looks tiny

cut that line in half, slip in your boost bleed tap and adjust.

the factory just runs the feed from the intercooler pipe so it measures boost after the pressure drop that occurs across the crappy standard intercoolers.

you can run it from either source, just block off the feed you don't use.

Plus the actuator itself is usually set between 8-11 psi on the hks turbo, plus I recon when your done id get rid of that screw in T-boost thing and get a real electronic controller for this turbo as it certainly helps. IMHO. Plus the dump i had a hard enough time trying to find one especially if you dont buy the full kits like on nengun and the likes, so the only real option which i ended up having to go was actually getting a full split custom front/dump all in one, best idea yet id say.

Cheers

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
