yeah it does have a restrictor.. if i recall correctly its the pipe on the left of the T connector thingy near the boost solenoid.

to the left of the power steering fluid theres the black metal pipe which goes to the intake.. you'll see a rubber hose coming off that pipe.. and then the hose will probs connect to a T connector.. then off to the boost solenoid.. or something like that.. anyways that rubber hose coming off the black metal pipe is the one with the restrictor in it.. you can feel it with your hand..

most ppl replace that hose when they install a boost controller..

i wouldnt get rid of the restrictor btw.. unless i needed to.. cause stops your car from overboosting and all :dry:

its not a restrictor at all. it in fact allows more boost to run in the factory setup. its a dual stage boost solenoid. which switches to a higher setting at a certain rpm. removing it will take away the dual stage which means youll always be at 0.50bar regardless. with the boost solenoid in place it is switches to 0.70bar after 4500rpm. there is however a hack to make it always be 0.70bar

the hack is to use the std boost solenoid to run the 7psi instead of changing it from 5psi to 7psi.. dunno how to do it myself.

manual boost solenoid.. removes the std nissan one. and you set the boost you require and leave it.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
