my r33 gtst needs to pass an EPA test and to do so i need to have standard boost control parts running. at the moment i have a duel stage boost controller and it runs fine with the duel stage. when i put the vac lines to the standard controller it overboosts. can someone tell me what vac lines need to go where? also i have made sure the plug that comes from the standard controller is plugged in and i have even tried another one from a mates car. could the wiring for the standard controller be used for the aftermarket unit? if so what should i be testing for with the multi meter? the after market controller has an earth wire and a wire running through the firewall and i cant see if the wire from the standard plug has been cut as it dissapears into a loom. any help would be much appreciated. thanks, brad (also my car has a standard turbo,FMIC and at the moment the airbox is fitted and i have checked for vaccum leaks)

You won't need a multimeter... the standard solanoid should give 5psi if it's not working properly, and 7psi if it is.

I suggest that your plumbing is not quite right... from the intake pipe down the bottom, the pipe should come into the bottom of the solanoid (I think.. if not, switch them around), and then the top one goes to your wastegate actuator.

from memory one of the lines was running to a T peice, also one line had a little restrictor in it, if thats not in the right place that may cause your problem.

Let me work out what needs to go where cos im in the exact same boat as you, i have a dual stage boost controller installed and i need to put the standard one back on so i can get it trough RoadWorthy.

Ok here is what i worked out on how to properly install the stock boost controller.

First off there is a hose from the actuator goin to a T peice, its only short and it has a yellow band on it because it has a brass restrictor in it.

From the T peice it goes to the BOV retuirn pipe.

Then from the T peice it goes to the bottom of the boost controller.

The last is a straight hose goin from the intercoller pipe to the top of the boost controller.

Can someone please confirm this for me, i just want to be %100 sure.

I mainly want to know if the restrictor is in the short hose coming off the actuator and goin to the T peice.

I hjope this helps, im %99 sure this is right which i would love someone to confirm this all for me ..

no thats wrong.

(if you have a front mount there will be a hose from the bov pressure line (the vacuum hose that opens the bov) instead of the intercooler pipe)

there should be hose hose from an intercooler pipe. this goes to a T piece. from the T piece there should be 1 hose going to the wastegate, and 1 to the lower hose of the factory solenoid. the top hose of the solenoid should go back to the intake (bov plumback pipe).

Ok this is straight from the Nissan Fast program, so thjere is no disputing it.

Top of the boost controller goes straight to the wastegate.

The bottom goes to the T peice.

One side of the T peice goes straight to the intercooler pipe.

The other side of the T peice goes straight to the BOV return plumbing.

Thats it, 100%..

I also found a picture in another thread showing the stock setup i described.

The restrictor is in the short hose goin from the intercooler pipe to the T peice, make sure you have the restrictor in place.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
