yeh im stinging to see what she makes?

does anyone no what boost the 2860r make on the actuator setting they come with?as im not running any sort of controller/

I've heard the wastegate spring is adjustable, and that the factory setting is 1 bar.

That's second hand info, so treat it as such.

It depends a bit on the exhaust system but if you have a free flowing system with high flow(or no cat)cat you should see ~0.9 to 1 bar boost off the actuators, and a reduced boost level if the exhaust is restrictive at all.

i have justjap dumps whick look to be nice and free flowing,2.5inch in to 3inch stainless dumps,stock gtr cat and 31/4inch titanium cat back. i want to run about 22psi so how should i adjjust them? or should i run a bleed valve

the std cat is going to have a dramatic effect on the system and why do you think you need 22 psi the extra boost doesn't always gain big results the -5 i have found on the rb26 seem to hit a sweet spot around 18 psi and the after 20psi the gains for boost increase fade, so for the extra stress your putting on the engine and turbos it's offen not worth it. 18psi quiet offen can see a healthly well sorted rb26 pass 510rwhp+ but if your looking for figures inexcess of 530-540 your should most likely be looking for a different combo and you'll have to sacifice responce to do so.

As for controlling 22psi you WILL have to buy a electronic controller to get the consistent control required or you will suffer the swings in boost pressure from different temperature conditions which at that level could be dangerous at 18psi a swing of 1 or 2psi isn't to scary but 22 plus 2 or 3psi and your getting very close the design limit of the centre cariridge of 2 bar.

I'll 2nd Seans call on a MetalCat. I bought my GTR with a straight pipe in place of the cat & when I swapped it out for a 4" MetalCat flanged back to 3" to match the exh there was basically no noticeable difference in performance whatsoever.

BTW didn't you lose your licence awhile back?? Might explain why you're in no real rush to throw everything at the car ;)

Man, i there with you. Mines been off the road for.. *gulp* 12 months. Have a mass of power steering lines to re-route, 12v feeds to run through the cabin, engine oil cooler to finish lining up... all waiting till i can get my tahbin and m.fold - i LONG for the sound of the RB again

It can often be hard to get under the gurl in the ever colder nations capital, to be covered in PS fluid.

At the moment im on a raising rate dose of HiOctane / JDM vids, plus 80's Rally docos' and rides in mates fast rides

Almost there, have faith man

    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
