look in the engine bay for a sensor with a vac hose and 3 wire plug.

if thats off its not gonna work. should be drv side

cheers will check in the morn. i think your right cause it didn't work then it did then it didn't so a plug not clipped in all the way sounds like the culprit.

Perhaps.

Mine worked at random times then ceased operation.

Nothing to do with vacuum hoses or clips as all have been changed/cleaned/re-clipped.

It gave 1 final boost reading of 2bar than that was it. lol.

pulled the plug off and sprayed some water dispersant in there and now she's working a treat. must have been the engine wash my mech did when i got it serviced. thanks for the help chris

This is the factory item I am talking about.

It may not have numbers that read up to 2bar.... (sorry for the size, but non of my programs will save the re-sizing atm)

I can't believe you haven't upgraded your head unit yet iamhe

LOL.

Why though?

I have done my iPod install, run all my music through it (in lossless - I HATE mp3) and it sounds pretty bloody good.

Whilst I know that there are far better out there, the sound from the OE Clarion unit is pretty good and is plenty loud enough for what I listed to (no doof doof).

....plus I would prefer to spend the $1500AUD on "fun" mods instead of the head unit I have in mind :P

What unit have you put in?

Is the boost gauge sensor on all NM35's or do you have to fit it? Where would I find it in the engine bay?

I've got the 3 gauge single DIN (not fitted) and i'm hoping to replace my double din with a single din CD player and the gauges...

Would the loom be there?

Hi Scotty. Ball joints are going great btw...

Not 100% sure what you mean. There wont be a signal for the torque split at both the loom out OR the attessa ECU?

So basically that gauge DIN I bought from you isn't going to work... :huh:

The boost and volts will, but we can't find the torque output at the attessa ecu at this stage, perhaps there are 2 different attessa computers, similar to the dash? You might have more luck.

So there isn't a loom that is common across all cars. The cars that have the 3 gauge will have the plug and the ones that don't obviously don't.

Where is the boost sensor located on the VQ25DET? I thought if you didn't have the gauges, you didn't have the gauge sensor. (hoping to be wrong!)

No, you would be surprised how many differences there are between the body looms. Engine loom is all the same, but the boost sensor comes off the harness on the drivers side of the bay where the headlight wiring goes, it is bolted near the strut tower.

Pretty sure we found the plug for the triple gauges, tucked up under the stereo wiring. I will have to ask the owner I forget. I just remember having issues getting a signal from the Attessa computer.

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
