Well your stock boost controller is definatly dissconnected, and it is a bit hard to tell where the line running from your wastegate is going..... But that is a lot of hoses plugged up there......

I have tried to circle in green where the wastegate is, try following that hose to see where it goes, as pressure going to your wastegate is what controlls the level of boost.

Found this under the bonnet.

Its not connected :pirate:

Need some advice and what goes where?

whats the problem tho, out of interest?

ie no boost, unlimited boost, etc etc, or is all good and working / functioning correctly?

looks to me as if you have a Greddy electronic boost controller...... and if that is working correctly then you probably shouldnt change anything, LOL

ok, the hose going to the wastegate actuator needs the other end to connect to the OUT port on your EBC solenoid. The IN port of the solenoid needs to be connected to a pressure source. most likely post throttle would be the go. it should also have a BLEED port which needs to be left unconnected.

its goes here...

ok, so if that hose is running of where the T piece is, one end of the T is blocked off and the other runs off the inlet tube then it is showing the waste gate the inlet pressure with will open the waste gate when it reaches the spring tension limit of the gate. So first of all (if what I have stated above is correct) it is running safely and will not over boost. If you want to get it back to factory running the 2 stage boost solenoid or reconnect that after market Boost Controller then there I am sure someone here will have the answers!

Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Ah ok, now I see it, so the hose coming from that stock nipple off the cooler piping just before the plenum, goes to her wastegate, via a T piece with the 3rd pipe blocked?

So there must be some reason why the person who did this dissconnected both the aftermarket boost controller and the stock boost controller.......?

Yeah that is my thinking Ska, I think the Boost controller might have some issues... You won't know until you try I guess?

I"ve spoken to Burkey22 who orginally did all the work to the car, he since sold it to a guy in SA in April, I bought the car off this guy in SA this month (July)... Burkey says he didn't disconnect the boost.

All the gauges inside the car were taken down and the SA guy said he was going to get the car reg'd in SA (then I came along from WA wanting to buy it) so he disconnected all the boost stuff. I've now had them reconnected inside, but under the bonnet is the mystery.

On the Greddy is says "Boost Control Valve"

ETA: thanks guys. I will take it over to hyperdrive or cypher and see what they say >_<

Hmmmm wierd eh, well I guess the answer to your original question, "What goes where?", nothing needs to be changed if you do not want to change the amount of boost you are running.

If you want to change it then you would have to hook up some lines to the GReddy unit, in the way BB said. But I am unaware how the GReddy unit works, and more importantly if it works.....?

I have been having some issues with my EBC, so went out and bought one of these $35 boost controllers, ( http://cgi.ebay.com.au/JRD-Boost-Controlle...1QQcmdZViewItem ), originally sold by [email protected] for $35 delivered to SAu members in this thread, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...375&st=1040

And it is bloody beautiful Boost Controller, dont think I'll be going back to EBC for the stagea, this one works just brilliantly!

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later

      Returning after a long time!

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
