The point of it is that Nissan Japan sold the GTR within the existing "Gentlemen's Agreement" that said no manufacturer would release a car with more than 205kW (or 206, or 207 or 208, depending on who you listen to). The restrictor was put in the boost control system to set the boost to a level that would stay pretty much within the gentlemen's agreement, but was trivial to remove and make GTRs close to unbeatable on the street (which was one of their highly desirable aims, of course).

The ECU will happily run the engine with that much boost, but it wil be richer and more retarded than if it was tuned properly. Rich and Retarded is a little safer on the engine. Well, the richer part certainly is. Retarded can be less safe sometimes. But I digress. Yes, for 15 years after the release of the R32 GTR people would simply pull that restrictor out and just drive it round. No problem.

So I think I took the right line off and looked in the hose and can't see anything, how far down will it be? I'll upload a pic maybe to make sure I have the right hose. Maybe previous owner already removed it

The boost gauge just goes to the top 7+

On a side note/question I started my car this arvo after being parked for 1 hour maybe and it just stalled then I started it again and the idle was

Real rough like it was going to stall but I kept the revs up a bit, this has also happened once before any ideas what it may be?

Once driving its fine both times have been on startup

Hmm could be a loose earth or even dirty AFM

Is there any particular mods like a vent to atmo BOV

The only way a bov would effect the car on idle would be a seriously rooted spring, and the problem would a hell of a lot more noticeable during boost, in for form of no boost.

Did the splutter only happen after stalling? Or does it just randomly happen on startup?

Yer it is randomly on startup, it stalled then when I started it again it spluttered a bit and started dropping revs but I gave some aceleration to bring the revs up for a couple of seconds then it was ok held fine on idle

factory bovs are slightly open at idle due to the manifold vacuum acting on them,(and don't leak under boost) so I would assume some after market bovs could be the same.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
