just wondering... i did this mod, but im unsure if it has actualy changed anything. but on the stock boost gauge (one in the dash), half way mark, what psi is that?

its a gts25t 95 model by the way

ah kool.. well i guess the mod worked then =)

reason y i was unsure was i didnt cut the black wire, but striped it back on one section behind the black cover sleve that goes over both the wires, and then attached the grounding wire there, so that if the cops do inspect it, it wont look like anything has been changed cause its hiden

"+7 on the gauge is 14.5PSI I do believe.. so 1/2 way is about 7PSI"

wow, why is +7 14.5psi??

yes i had the same problem, saw that it only went just over halfway so i wasnt sure if it worked or not, so i changed it back.

pity i didnt try it just with myself in the car, everyone wanted to jump in to see what the difference was.. so with 4 people.. went even slower than normal obviously :)

stock boost guage is in mmhg

7 mmhg = 1 bar = 14.7psi

i installed a bleed valve and looped the two hoses going into the 5psi solenoid and all was merry when i booted it, and as soon as i got to 4500rpm the engine just went nuts and backfired, and hesitated shockingly before going back to normal, pulling like a train at roughly 5000rpm..any ideas? i guess the ecu doesnt like the boost solenoid not doing anything...was this hesitation in the engine the knock sensors retarding my timing?? it scared the hell outta me...happened a couple of times...thought it may have been overboosted by my bleed valve but in disconnectiong it, it made no difference...ill just ground the solenoid...should be safe that way..anyway..can someone explain what happened to make my engine go all crazy?

nevermind..solved the problem...im such a retard i totally bypassed the wastegate actuator so it was bleeding off all vacuum..so wastegate just refused to open...this is very bad....i musta hit roughly 20psi at one stage...fu@king so lucky it didnt damage anything..

i'll give it a try tonite with my er34 semiauto and see what happens. Might do the safe option and wire up a small switch in the engine bay to constantly ground it.

yay! more power!

not too noticable in an auto but there is slightly better acceleration in the lower rpm range, no longer need to kick the auto down a gear.

I tried this and it works mad!!! Love it. What i also did though was i used a change over relay, i put a on off switch on the dash when the switch is off the computer controls the boost and in the on position the solenoid gets gounded,

its the best possible way this mod can be done without any effects.

Change Over Relay Conections

85 - Earth

86 - switch on dash with 12+ volt

30 - to solenoid

87 - to the wire you cut going to computer

87a - Earth

Hope this helps

i dont have the original pics anymore or the solenoid. can someone take some pics of the mod done please and ill post them back to first post on page #1

nobody is able to post up the pics of their solenoid and wiring for me??? :D i have about 30 minutes of daylight left and really would like to have this done before i go out cruising tonight

the next best thing would be if you could just direct me as to where to find this solenoid.......i've looked around the engine bay but i'm unable to find it :)

the solenoid is near the stock airbox.

Its just behind it to the right... its like a funny looking gold thing with 2 hoses coming out of it...

Its next to some liquid container if i recall correctly, cant remeber which one..

but yeah its right near the airbox..

thanx Jason

okay cool i just checked it out......but my wires aren't white OR black :rolleyes:

i have a light green wire and a blue wire with a white chaser (stripe)......anybody know what to do with these colored wires???

Also get rid of the restrictive gause either side of the AFM, again, what is it going to stop other than air? If something is big enough to break thru the air filter, it deserves to break your afm and will regardless...

if you're talking about the screen on the AFM i wouldn't remove that. That screen is there in order to create a venturi effect on the intake air just before it his the AFM device, this is important as it helps your AFM accurately monitor the amount of air coming in much better than it would w/o the venturi effect.

I know people who have removed this screen from their AFMs (not skyline owners) and the end result caused them to have to go out and buy a brand new unit. Just thought i'd put that out there

nah stock boost is 5 - 7psi..

when you go past 4500rpm the boost solenoid thing opens and gives you the extra 2 psi.. so you get 7 in total..

What do you mean 1+ ?

7 on the stock boost gauge means 14psi if thats what your talking bout ?

so stock boost is about 5psi this mod increases it to around 7, isn't 1+ about 14psi?

:O

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
