Reset the computer by disconnecting the battery, put the brake pedal few times (to ensure there's no residual charge), then reconnect the battery. Good idea to take it for a good drive now, so it rema

Karu it doesn't matter because you won't use the solenoid at all once you install a boost controller. And with stock ecu and turbo do NOT run over 12 psi, naybe even 10 depending on your car.

Why on earth would you want to run lower boost down low? That's heaps pointless.

hahaha sorry when i posted i was thinking if i did this mod then the solenoid would run 7psi down low instead of 5 but then the boost controller would run 12psi up high. I worded it all wrong. Im new to forced induction.

Make the auto transmission last longer is my guess.

Answer above :)

what does high/low boost read on the stock guage?

as in what KG/CM2?

Stock reading as in x100mmHg (millimeter of mercury)

+7 on the gauge is about 13.5psi..

So 5psi would be about 1/3 of the gauge and 7 would be around half way?

Someone correct me if im wrong.

trying to work out what boost im running on the stage,

for some reason the prev owner installed an aftermarket guage which reads another random unit.

stock guage

aftermarket

IMAG2043_BURST009_zps636e2e30.jpg

so 0.6 is... 8.5psi?

does that sound right for high boost for a 25 neo?

0.6 bar is 8.7psi, so yeah you have about8.5 as its a bit under 0.6.

and yes that sounds about ok. depending on variables/mods...

oh, and that aftermarket gauge is 'bar' which is pretty commonly used as well as psi.

Hi guys, I'm trying to do some detective work on what my cars previous owner got up to. I think he may have done this mod to my R34 GT-T, though it's kind of sloppy. In the attached photo, you can see the open wires.

Now, I have an aftermarket boost controller, meaning I should not have to worry about this variable boost. However, this is not my issue. I thought that I should cover up the open wires pictured, so i sprayed contact cleaner on them and wrapped them in electrical tape - first I taped the black wire, then i taped that tightly to the white wire.

However, I am now constantly blowing my tail light fuse (which includes dash lights and parkers). Could this possibly be related, and does the black wire need to be earthed?

Thanks!!

Cheers for the reply, I appreciate it

I would be looking at where the EBC is getting power from. ie in the dash / console area etc.

I've blown that fuse wiring things like gauges before.

Sorry mate, but what was the EBC?

I've checked the tail lights, they are OK, now i start the long process of elimination. Apparently cigarette lighters are often the main culprit.

Electronic Boost Controller.

Lighter is often used to power gauges etc...

Of course, when i did the stereo install I do remember that it was taking power (or at least ignition/illumination) from there - what should i be looking out for?

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
