Hi there.

Just wondering if anyone knows exectly what this part do? I could be searching with the wrong keywords but I can't find much details about this part in the forum and nothing much in the R34 Service Manual as well.

The tube connecting to mine has broken off and i've just reglued it back. I was looking around for used parts and and neo32 mentioned that it's only for boost cut?

I just want to know more about it before i just remove it altogether.

The part has the following details one it:

PS66-01

HITACHI BOOST SENSOR

It sits near the firewall and photos are attached on how it looks like. It is connected directly to the vacuum(orange thing)

its just for an overboost protection that the stock ecu has. if the little plastic nipple has broken off the bottom of it don't worry, just block off the vacuum line going to it, and leave the sensor plugged in. if you unplug it and remove the sensor it will throw a DTC and the engine check light will come on.

DO NOT DO THIS.

The boost sensor also is referenced mixture control (extra tables, not present in R33 ecu's), blocking it off immediately results in the car running 1-2 A/F's LEANER.

wow ^^^ that could be dangerous. Obviously 34's much more advanced in ecu

On a 32 it just does the stock boost gauge in the dash, unplugging the wire connection seems to have no effect on the tune what so ever.

they have one for the for the gauge aswell . . if it rund disgustingly rich 10 to 1 not un common then unplugging it will give a nice 12 to 1 . lol rangi but there could be somtethign behind it . there have beena few stageas that people bought with it blocked off and they havent blown up yet?

Shouldn't be a problem leaving it disconnected and getting the car retuned? Ignoring the computer codes/engine light or are there any other problems with this?

Provided it is tuned with it unplugged or blocked, it is fine. But dont unplug it unless it was set up to run that way especially with a remap or safc etc.

just curious trent as to which tables you are talking about? is it one that can been seen from in nistune or a background ecu table that can't be seen? i honestly didn't notice any difference in AFR's once disconnecting mine.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Duncan · Posted

      Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By dingleberry · Posted

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      By Keeper · Posted

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
