hey ppls

wheres the boost restrictor in a 33 gtr ? i just wana see if its still there. From my searching i think im looking for a pipe with a yellow ring around it.. ? and its meant to be near the strut / pcm valve thingy ?

cause ya i dont see anything in that area or anywhere that looks like a boost solenoid (like a gtst one im assuming).

i can see 2 pipes with yellow rings but there going into the fuel stuff so i dont think its them.

ive attached a pic :)

thanks

Just wondering what you mean by boost restrictor? Also wondering what that "PCM valve" is. I thought that valve was the factory boost control solenoid. The reason I ask is because I am not running it anymore and it seems like my 26 is overboosting. It will easily boost past 14 psi and I dont know where it would stop since I have been taking it easy since i noticed it. Just wondering if there is any connection or if one or both of my wastegates is just messed up. Not trying to thread jack just trying to get some info. Any help would be great.

im not 100% either but there meant to run a stock solenoid to control the boost. and i think theres a little restrictor thingy in one of the pipes.

the thing the left of the fuel filter ses "pcm" on it.. dunno wat it does tho..

Go to your boost control solenoid - the cylinder laying on its side with the gold band and mount near your drivers side strut tower. Pull back the protective cover on the pipe going towards the front of the car attached to the top of the boost control solenoid.

If you feel down that pipe about 50mm you should feel a hard section near the yellow painted ring. There's the restrictor.

Cheers

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
