yeh i think its got a replacement as i can only see a vacuum line goin from the wastegate to the turbo. also there is a switch in the cabin and when it is pressed it drops revs or puts them higher... depends which way you look at it. what would that be for?

cheers

Is it an Auto. Some Autos have a switch which i am not sure what it is for. somethin live over drive. it is used when driving on highways and when pressed it drops to a lower gear i think. not sure though

no its not an auto. looks aftermarket. not too sure what it is then lol

get pics of both the switch and the actuator.

you say that the hose from the actuator just goes to the turbo. do you mean it is only very short and goes to a nipple on the compressor housing? if so then the turbo isn't the stock one either as the stock turbo doesn't have a nipple on the compressor housing.

as for the switch making the revs drop, it would have to be something that is adding extra load as someone said. how much does it drop it by? only 100 or 200rpm? could possibly be an aircon switch if the stock one is dead. maybe try seeing where the wires go

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
