Hi,

I cant figure out how to install my GFB boost controller.... It seems that there are extra boost lines running into the power steering pump and i am somewhat confused. It it were a RB25DET non Neo engine i would be fine....but the Neo 6 is something completely different.

Any r34 owners out there that may be able to assist me please? I am sure someone has installed a boost controller on a R34 Neo motor... Perhaps even a photo of ur setup and i will just duplicate it.... anything..... please... :D

Appreciate your time.

Chris

find a line before the wastegate actuator.. plumb in before that.. aslong as the only line to the wastegate is in the path of the boostcontroller ull be fine.

Plenum/cooler piping vacuum line > boost controller > waste gate actuator.. :D

Thanks for the reply. I do understand what you have written above, and i did that on my last car.... the only thing (problem) i am having at the moment is the weird hose running to the power steering pump...its T-Peiced into the boost solenoid for some reason.... I just dont want to remove it or cut it if it is there for some reason...and i think it is.

Any further ideas?

Thanks

I am serious..... dead set....no idea what would happen if i pulled it off....and i am not about to try doing it.

Someone must own an R34 on this forum and has installed a boost controller....someone...anyone...

Cheers.

yes the R34 do have that.. disregard that.. thats just a vacuum line to the PS pump from the throttle body from memory.. just plumb it in before the wastegate and from a line from the throttle body.. we didnt touch the PS pump lines..

if ur southside of brisbane i could give u a hand if u need.

but ur name suggest other wise.

yes it is

basically u have 2 or 3 from the throttle that should be linked to the charcoal can and the turbo but it will not be a line that would lead to the intake pipe etc.. if u t piece any of them any that have charged air or a vacuum ull be fine. i personally do it that way. or... on the Neo engine right next to the acc valve ther is a bunged off line that is used for the map sensor on the RB20 engines. u can use that for ur boost gauge as it will give the most accurate reading.

return hose is that what we call it on the nissan side.. we called it charged and negative. some crap like that lol..

hybrid kits are ok.. too exy for not much more than a GKtech kit and just shy of a TRUST spec kit.. not worth it imo.

HD industries have a nice new kit out :thumbsup: delta fin core (same as what i have on the type x.. none of this crappy bar and plate poop)

i was looking at my r34 as im going to get a boost controller. ive done a r33 bc, the connection on those is on the cooler pipe which goes to the plenum & the other on the wastegate. i noticed on the neo however stock the connection is not on the cooler pipe its plugged into the pipe right near the turbo which makes its way to the intercooler.... so does it still work all the same??

i dont want to T off the ps vacuum..the stock set up isnt coming from that...... i see the wastegate/actuator connection in the pic........ now for the other connection to manifold ic piping will it be alrite to connect to how the stock one connects???... even easier would it work if u removed the two hoses which go in to the stock solinoid and plug it up there leaving the t piece and other connection in place??

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      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

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      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

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      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)
