Hi I'm trying to override the factory boost solenoid thingy. I cannot find the solenoid, I have an SII r33 rb25det in a 240sx.

I want to ground the solenoids ground wire permenatly as done in the DIY section, however I cannot find an ecu pinout that shows exactly which wire it is. Can anyone tell me where this darn wire is? Thank you!

you probably dont have it

the solenoid is drilled to the wall of the engine bay in a skyline

easy way to override it is to just run a vacuum hose from the charged piping straight to the wastegate actuator

I just did that, it still does the same thing, goes to 5lbs then evntually to about 9lbs of boost. Is this some form of boost spike? Or is there a hidden boost solenoid built into the i/m or is everything just normal?

Also when I hit boost cut wil the car cut ignition/fuel or both?

if you have an FMIC and exhaust its going to creep a bit... mine was creeping to about 9 lbs after installing mine. Its normal.

So if i put a boost controller on could it creep any higher?

if you don't leave it completely loosening, if you add pressure to the MBC's spring it will increase the boost pressure. I wouldnt run more than 11-12 psi. After that its hit or miss on how long the turbine wheel stays attached...

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
