Hey guys,

Sorry if this is a repost of another similar topic on here (although i have tried searching a while for some info on this). Anyway just purchased a mint condition Rb20det Bone stock Cefiro A31.

Trying to install a boost gauge, had no troubles with firewall holes or Wires to use but its tee'ing it off a boost / vacuum line thats im confused about.

Have looked on other rb boost gauge installation guides but the majority of them use the line from the back of the manifold to the factory boost box near the firewall which it seems the A31 Cefiro didnt come with.

I gave my friend a look at the engine bay and he suggested a line which goes to the Charcoal Cannister but i've hear on some other sites (Mostly sr forums) that this isnt the best place for it either. So could anyone confirm that i can use this line or suggest another line to tee off.

Thanks :P

The line from the back of the manifold isn't there, but the thing it attaches to on the manifold is still present, it just has a little cover clamped onto it, at least mine did.

I just removed that cover and attached the boost gauge directly to it. Worked fine.

      While doing my tailgate struts I found some rust. Also replaced my bonnet struts. Such a cool satisfaction with that job.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By PranK · Posted

      So I removed as much as I could from both sides. The shop vac did a great job of clearing 99% of it. I got it all as clean as I could and then absolutely drenched the whole lot in the rust converter. Tonight or tomorrow I'll hammer it again. The cavity must be close to 400mm in length and surprisingly I was able to get it right to the back.  I'll quickly reassemble and then pretend I never saw it. I'll post pics (for me to ignore later) soon.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for~?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate almost all modern cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
