You haven't stated if you want the single stage to be the high or low boost setting...

If you feed the standard boost solenoid a constant 12V, it will constantly run high boost...

If you remove the standard boost solenoid and its associated plumbing, it will constantly run low boost...

Hmm... I think a better way of describing it would be to say, a constant 12V whilst the ignition is on...

The solenoid has 2 wires and is located near the factory airbox... I can't exactly remember because mine is long gone but it will work in one of two ways...

1. One wire connected to ground at all times and the other wire supplied with 12V when the ECU tells it to... (> 5000rpm)

2. One wire constantly supplied with 12V and the other wire grounded when the ECU tells it to...

In the case of 1, you will need to find a 12V ignition source and feed it to the appropriate wire on the solenoid... I can't reccomend any particular source, but something from the fuse box should do...

In the case of 2, the simplest way would be to constantly ground the appropriate wire by attaching it to the car body...

Either way, the idea is to get an ignition switched 12V source to one of the wires, and a constant ground to the other...

if you have an apexi rsm you could set its rev output at like 2500 rpm and run the 12v wire (the rpm output wire) to your factory boost solenoid so when the rsm reads over 2500rpm it flicks on the output relay which is 12v, which should in theory open your solenid (if wiered properly). you would then have to run the other wire to constant ground.

does this sound correct? would this work? the output wire is 12v, 200ma

sorry, ive just re-read the manual. the rsm rev output signal is a switching ground.

so you would need to feed the solenoid 12v from somewhere and give it the rsm rev output wire and set its rev0 value to like 2500 or something small so its always open and gives you 7psi. or you could just hotwire (run 12v from somewhere else) to be always on even at 0rpm

yeah thats it's intended purpose. the factory boost solenoid has two wires, white and black.

do you know which one is which? im guessing one is to ecu to do the grounding @ 5000+ and the other is to 12v constant

The solenoid has 2 wires and is located near the factory airbox... I can't exactly remember because mine is long gone but it will work in one of two ways...

Nope still can't remember...

I would assume that black is ground and white is hot...

Instead of ***ing around with earths and 12v wires, and since u want to run high boost which is around 8psi y dont u just get yourself a cheap bleed valve and and leave it still at 8psi. Then u can simply disconnect the hoses and plug from the stock boost solenoid and be done with it!

    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they do. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec How does the liner interact with that? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?  
    • And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards  
    • OR, Tell the Motec to STFU, you said shift, so try shifting! But then yes, I agree, more sensors needed to. Put either a wheel speed sensor, or a diff speed sensor on it. Then get an input shaft speed sensor too. (I say input shaft speed, and not engine RPM). This way, you can now also log and see if the clutch is slipping (RPM, vs input shaft speed), and you can calculate gear (Input shaft speed / Output shaft speed). At least then if the gear position sensor fails you have a backup. And realistically, the Motec should only worry about what gear you're in for the parts where I'm assuming you have some power management strategies in it for the lower gears. (IE, lower boost, maybe different throttle curves, different ignition curves, etc etc). But it should stop it shifting. Pull the flappy, that f**ker should just attempt the motion! Heck, even on a sequential like on a motorbike, you can keep trying to kick it up a gear all you want, the physically part of the box takes care of not being able to loop the whole way around the box! Only part you'd have to worry is how it gets to reverse.  But that's on the driver... An R32 shouldn't be so smart as to try and override the driver on a gear shift  
    • Yeah, nah. Anyone not putting the absolutely largest battery that will physically fit (ie, NS70 X) is not thinking straight. the NS70 X is close on double the capacity of the "stock" unit.
