Found this little hose had come off. Fixed the high idle problem ive been having :thumbsup: See attached pic

But today it came off again. Its obviously a vacuum hose going to the fuel pressure reg but i didnt realise just how important it is until i did some reading on here.

This from sydneykid was most enlightening.. and scary

Sydneykid on FPR hose/boost guage install

There is no clamps on this little hose and no evidence there ever were so it makes me think nissan never expected it to come off. Its coming off when the car is on boost.

Anyone know why? i dont want to just clamp the thing on id rather understand whats happening because it could be pointing to something more serious?

Car is R32 gtr, 1989, 1.0 bar boost, stock computer, aftermarket turbos recently installed which were rebuilt and highflowed r33's.

most likely there is a small split in one end of the hose, so replace it. Mine is on and off regularly (with every motor) so I cable tie it each time. Never had a problem since (and despite Gary's disagreement I run my boost controller from there)

I replaced myn a while ago with some good turbosmart vac line then cable tied it. Just make sure the replacement hose is the same ID.

I would recommend silicone hose for replacement over rubber too. I also never T anything off the reg line as gary mentions.

i had the same problem,

replaced the hose as its cheap as, mine had dried up and was a stretched from being on the car for 20 years.

FYI mine is a '89 R32 GTR too.

replaced the hose, cable tied it and it hasnt popped off since.

easy fix!

      Unless things that you want to do include reference to time. Simple Boolean logic is only good for digital inputs or analogues that have been thresholded into digitals. But unless you also have a timer function available (which would more ideally be located inside the program, rather than being forced to implement a timer outside the ECU and bring it in as a seperate digital for every time delay you want to implement), then you can't do some of the things that you might want to do. My PLC ladder logics are obviously littered with program blocks, because that's easier than building it all in ladder gates, but the most frequent of those program blocks is a simple timer, because you actually can't otherwise do that in ladder at all.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      Log voltage. I'm suspecting the alternator. Or even maybe a bad earth somewhere. ie, seeing as it is rev dependent, I am thinking it is alternator dependent.

      Yeah so N1 and any other larger than factory pump are pretty famous for pumping the sump dry...obviously we don't often get to spend 20 or 30 seconds at high rpm/full noise on the road so I'd still be suspicious that is what is happening here.

      You are also getting pressure dips on gear shifts. They're just not dipping as far, but they're dipping quite below the amount of oil pressure you should be seeing, for how much RPM drops.   It quite little could be the oil pressure relief valve is starting to stick open a little/is slow to close.

      Can you log battery voltage, and TPS, and put all four of those into a single image (even as split graphs)?   The oil pressure drops aren't following RPM as such. I'm intrigued if you may have a ground loop between different sensors. With the engine not running, log your sensors and for example cycle the throttle pedal. See if any sensor values flutter or move about. This won't be a perfect test either as the ECU won't be cycling all of its actuators like it would be while running. What EMTRON do you have? Do you have a link to the wiring guide for that ECU?
