Yellow Restrictor Tab

[smilingjack]

well we've finally sorted out that the father in laws gtr is No.5 of the original 100 delivered to australia.

I've read that there is a yellow restrictor tab in the control lines that can be removed for more power. He hasn't done this himself and it was delivered new to him. He's not sure whether nissan oz may have done it. Can anyone point out where this tab is supposed to be if it's still in place please?

Cheers

I have an aussie GTR and the restrictor doesnt seem to be in place. It runs 12psi. Now I dont really know if the Aus versions were delivered with or without the restrictor.

I guess there is one way to tell. If it does 0-100 in 4.7 seconds and a 12.8 quarter then the tab has been removed.

Love a picture. Anyone from nissan australia?

The the restrictor is located on the solenoid that is attached on the drivers side strut tower. There are two rubber lines. One has a yellow mark , squeeze it to check for the restrictor

Here is an engine bay of an AUS Delivered R32 GTR.

The owner is on SAU and a thread was made as the owner is selling it... From memory...

The amount of effort the owner has done to store and keep the car in a ridiculously Mint... And I mean Mint condition, is excellent!

You could eat sushi off the rocker cover LOL!

The Yellow Boost Restrictor Tab is where I have circled in Red. (There should be a Yellow marking on the hose but over time it's worn off).

Supposedly you unplug the hose and squeeze out the restrictor and plug the hose back from where you pulled it from, in result having a safe factory boost increase...

(BTW I have NOT done it myself). I can still feel my Restrictor in place.

father in law is a mucho happy man. he said it felt like he'd been driving with the choke on. the car is much smoother and more responsive now.

He'll be wanting new turbo's or something next.

Then again, that might not be for a decade going by his current trend.

No worries!

So how much is the car boosting now?

Stock boost is +0.7 Bar... What is it now?

[smilingjack]

I'll find out about boost. Exhaust was replaced 12 months ago. His mate owns a muffler shop and imported an r32. He wanted to copy the father in laws system in return for a free 3" system. Turns out the 2 vehicles were very different underneath.

New turbo's. Can't see it. Car still gets serviced by the same nissan dealer that sold it to him and is bog stock except for new exhaust. The other car is a 2005 A6 3.0L tdi twin turbo - more the daily drive. 165kw and 450nm which I'm trying to talk them into chipping - 200kw and 550nm with better fuel economy.

He's a big lad and after trading the HK gts for a gtho III for a walkinshaw he grabbed the skyline. couldn't fit in a ferrari and he'd done his research and wanted the gtr. At 68 and after driving it for near 20 years he still loves it.

Should have kept quiet and may have been an even match in the forester. not now.

Thanks again.

Dont let him modify the Aussie GTR, they will be worth a fortune in the future.

True that, I think ppl will appreciate it more as it being unmodified, maybe with the exception of putting on a nice high flow street exhaust would still be fine.
