can someone describe where the boost guage gets its signal from so i can fix? its an rb26 r33 gtr... new car so still learning where everything is...

The tube to the map censor is probably broken , they get fragile from the heat . Just look for a tube ( about 5mm thick) going from the rear of the plenum to the map censor near the brake booster .

so does the guage see a voltage signal from the map sensor? or does it see a physical vacuum signal all the way back to the guage?

Yer mine (R34 GTT) only works intermittently, very annoying. I checked that hose to the MAP sensor and its fine. Hope I don't have to rip the dash apart :P its the only thing wrong with the whole car.

always get an aftermarket guage that reads in something more useful eg PSI.

oh btw, its a nismo center cluster... how do these work, electrically or mechanically via vacuum?

contacted the guy i bought the car off, he said he had a new battery installled day before i picked it up and it was working before this??? hmmm...

Did you check the tube ? The tube goes to the map sensor and then voltage from there to the gauge . The gauge is electric not mechanical.

ok im not entirely sure which is the map sensor your talking about? can anyone tell me how to fault find the source of this problem? none of the hoses off the intake plenum look perished... there is an electrical sensor at the front of the plenum? what does it do?

i pulled the dash apart and checked the wires and connection at the gauges, looks fine... no busted hoses under the bonnet... what next???

someone please help me out!

Did you read post 2?

REAR of the plenum NOT front.. You will find a steel tube about 30-40mm long and about 4 mm thick, get a new tube and plug it in there, don't even try to re-use the old hose, the same thing will happen again ..

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
