Yeah Andrew's got a point

If you've replaced near on everything on your car, then you could ber confident that it's all good now.

However if you want to upgrade, an R34 would be tops, I know that's what I'm getting next (Kinda sorta got one now already :D)

It's up to you, if you feel like a change, then go for it. If you feel like sticking to what you know, the go for it.

better the devil you know than the devil you dont know.

i love your car snooze. if you bought an R34, what would you want to do to it? wheels, kit, and all the other mods your current car has, right? how much would that all cost from scratch? sh*t loads. you've already got all that, why start again?

if you have the money i would :D i like my 33 but 34's are just as sexy + not as many around well at least for another year or two. PS buy the one off the guy at newgel he was selling last i heard its got some nice little mods and the paintwork is awesome BUY IT!!!

i am at a loss as what to buy next too either 34 or wrx who knows but i wont be selling for a good 2 - 3 years still

HOW DARE you say that "W" word leigh...

This is a skyline fourm..

Subarus are still nice Erica!! :stupid:

Yea, true waht most say... Why start again, you will end up loosing alot of money.

Newer car yes... but you already have a sweat looking car.

Manual 34s are not really coming down in price at all. Basic one in good condition are still ~35k. Another point is that many of the parts are actually interchangeable so you could possibly return yours to stock? eg Front Mount and piping for 33 will fit a 34.

I love my 34, I still look forward to the start and end of the day when I get to drive to/from work.

I really don't understand the no wing look on the 34s, can't say I'm a fan at all.

you should sell it and get like a VL cause they is sick n shit. 1st mod you will need to do b4 you drive it anywhere is put a monsta tacho on. Even if its stock and auto. 2nd you will need to put a 4X4 lift kit in the front and remove the springs from the back and trim the bump stops so your exhaust just clears the ground. 3rd mod is the numba pl8ts. They need to be DISNEYLAND. lol

Im bored and cant sleep.

*SIGH*

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
