I went pretty hard at winton over the weekend and once I got my car home and drive it I noticed it is only hitting 15psi compared to my normal 18psi.

My first thort was turbo on the way out as there was oil all over that side of the engine bay, but turns out my catch can was full and my drain plug wasn't done up properly.

I did rip out one of my bolts from a flange on the decat pipe and the arse end of my exaust is just hanging on. Is the lack of back pressure enough to make boost drop by 3psi?

I think the spring in my actuator is 15psi, possibly stuffed boost controller?

What lines/hoses can I check that may have come loose?

I havnt had a chance to look over the car properly because of work I will get stuck into it over the weekend.

I will check cooler piping and fins/shaft play aswell just want to cover all bases.

My car is a r32 gtst

Cheers guys - Trent

Yeah I will go all over that on the weekend cheers, I wound the boost down on my controller and my gauge still reads 15psi, I'm going to check the hoses off the solenoid aswell

    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
