hey guys

got a series 1.5 r33 gtst.

i been told that the r32 gtst actuator is a direct swap for the 1 in the r33 as they are identical except the r33 actuator is 7psi and the r32 is 10psi.

my question is, by putting the 32 actuator in, i bypass the standard boost solenoid and just run a hose from the actuator to the intercooler nipple correct??

not sure what to do with the piping thats all? i remember when i got my car the solenoid wasnt working so we had it hooked up like this, just b/w actuator and pipe, but not sure if its the same now that i wanna run a different pressure actuator?

oh and for all those that are gonna say get an ebc or boost t, a) ebc too much $$$, b) boost t creeps

actuator will not creep unless spring is fcuked.

cheers

daniel

sweet thats what i was thinkin but wanted to confirm this.

im going in for a tune @ RE Customs in early august so will fit it when im there and have the safc2 tuned and timing checked to accomodate the extra boost.

You can by-pass the solenoid but it would be interesting to see someone keep it in the loop and run the 10psi and then up to 12psi after 4500rpm.

12psi should be OK on your turbo

I don't think anyone's done it yet so give it a go, and if you don't like it, it'll take you 3 mins to swap the tubes around to by-pass it as you originally intended.

Good luck

I've done it.

What happens is normally the r33 actuator is 4.5-6 psi without the bleed solenoid.

with the solenoid, it goes 7-9 psi (after 4500 rpm).

The reason why I gave a range is because mods affect the boost.

I've found the r32 actuator to be around 9-11psi without bleed solenoid

with the solenoid, it is around 12-12.5 psi (after 4500 rpm)

at the moment i have the standard solenoid grounded, so its constantly between 7-8psi. if i run the same wastegate will it be the same? i would think that it would still be restrictive...

dunno anyway ill see how i go, might run with just the hose to the cooler pipe, but then try that out with the standard solenid in line..

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
