its a little brass ring inside the line going to your boost control solenoid in the engine bay.

It has a little yellow ring around the pipe that holds the restrictor

were bouts is the ring just after the acuater?wich side of engine bay etc

anyone know where i can buy the boost restrictor from?

Probably best not to bother. Just go and buy a Turbosmart adjustable bleed valve which goes in place of the standard one. Costs <$100 & you can set whatever boost pressure you like in the range of 7psi to about 14 psi.

poke your head around the turbo side. you should be able to see actuator lines that go from the turbo to the actuator. find one with a yellow band on it :O

Wrong its on the intake side The pipe with the yellow line is near the left strut tower if facing the car.

yeah we have no yellow line! is it the pipe that goes to the little canister thingy! that sits in front of the drivers side strut tower towards the front of the car? has anyone got a picture of where we should be putting it! and also does it only need one boost controller?

You only need one.

what we did was t piece the large black vacuum line frm the charcoal canister into the pipe of near that thing in the picture and is now only running 9 psi

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
