Did the R33 GTS-T's come with a boost restrictor that you can remove to gain a SAFE Factory boost increase like the GTR R32's? The Brass Boost restrictor I think its called..?

If so, remove it and you sould get up to 7 psi...

Yep they come with a solenoid that opens at 4500rpm...When is opens it bleeds enough air to add extra 2-3psi of boost...it feeds back into air intake just after afm so that the air calculation is not stuffed up...From memory stock boost is 5 psi below 4500rpm and jumps to 7or8 psi above 4500rpm...Most people just remove it or permanently short the terminal to ground which holds it open all the time...Its really basic and I dont know why Nissan bothered with it...but anway they did...

I ended up replacing mine with a hydraulic needle control valve (now have EBC)...Its was better than a standard bleed valve because it passed all bled air back into intake...whereas normal bleed valves bleed air to atmosphere and are therefore technically illegal...

Before you do what **RB2530** says, how do you know your car is running just 5 psi of boost ? Do you have an aftermarket boost gauge, or are you just reading off the stock one one the dash ? Cause I hope you know that's not in PSI, but in mmHg. (where 5 mmHg = 'round 9.5 PSI)

Right, I see! You know Jap cars LOL! The more buttons to push the better LOL!

I believe the Stock Boost Gauge reads in -0.7 to +0.7 Bar

i have an aftermarket boost guage.....and its reading less than 5psi

Did you say your car was stock except the new exhaust you put on? Check out to see if the restrictor is still there... Ask you mechanic if your not sure...

Hey WOG BOY!

which restrictor are you talking about?

**RB2530** explains it. I will post a pic to show you where the Solenoid is (But It's From a GTR R32... I Think R33 GTS-T's Might Be Different?) But to give you an idea.

Where it is circled in RED is, I believe is the Boost Solenoid. Inside there is whats called a Brass Boost Restictor, which can be removed to gain a Safe Factory Boost increase of about 2-3psi.

**RB2530** Might have a pic of what the R33 GTS-T one looks like.

      Welcome Jan, It's very likely that you are in over your head. You'll just have to learn to swim hard and fast! These old rust buckets have more ways to bankrupt us than almost any other car. But hopefully there's nothing wrong that ruins the whole show! We can help a fair bit. There's plenty here who've been fixing these things for >25 years. cheers

      Hi all. First off, thanks for reading my post. So end of last season I put the car away knowing I was leaking at least two fluids. One of them being rear turbo's oil. I went to my car recently that is waiting in a garage to take a peek with my boroscope to try and see if I can narrow down the souce of oil before taking it out of storage. What I found is not so great I think. The rear turbo is (probably) leaking from the oil drain. The hose and it's clamps are probably the original ones, so most likely just worn out or loose. However I spotted a line of rust going straight down from the turbo oil feed, as if water leaked out of there at some point. Also explains the red liquid that was dripping from my front subframe, which I initially thought was power steering. I can even see coolant drops hanging off the side of the oil pan as well. After a quick hit on the web I found a select few discussions about porous engine blocks. My question is if the pics of the turbo oil feed and the left hand side of the block (imgur link below) looks like it could be exactly that to you. Maybe someone in the community has seen it before and knows what it looks like. If it actually is a porously leaking block, has anyone attempted at fixing it with simple methods like putting a sealer in the cooling system and using something like jb weld on the block surface, or will it just leak in 2 weeks again? I could not find any detailed info or pictures on this topic. If I need a new engine, tell me softly. https://imgur.com/a/knVvmZ8

      Hey all. I'm 23 and from Germany, September last year I bought a mildly modded 1995 GTR Vspec. Looks great and was fun so far, but I already have a list of issues of various severity that I need to take care of, potentially growing longer the closer I look. I just hope I'm not in over my head, I really want to keep the car and work towards it becoming great. I hope y'all will help me out in getting there, I am positive I will need help sooner rather than later to figure out how to proceed. greetings, some pics of the car I posted to imgur. https://imgur.com/a/StKkabz

      Would be interesting what the price would be without the barracuda wheels. Looks like he dropped it down to 40k. Maybe his mate wasn't correct about the 50k evaluation. Has always been a dream of mine to own an auto 33. Looks like I'll have to keep saving my pocket money or ask mum for more pocket money.
