Did the R33 GTS-T's come with a boost restrictor that you can remove to gain a SAFE Factory boost increase like the GTR R32's? The Brass Boost restrictor I think its called..?

If so, remove it and you sould get up to 7 psi...

Yep they come with a solenoid that opens at 4500rpm...When is opens it bleeds enough air to add extra 2-3psi of boost...it feeds back into air intake just after afm so that the air calculation is not stuffed up...From memory stock boost is 5 psi below 4500rpm and jumps to 7or8 psi above 4500rpm...Most people just remove it or permanently short the terminal to ground which holds it open all the time...Its really basic and I dont know why Nissan bothered with it...but anway they did...

I ended up replacing mine with a hydraulic needle control valve (now have EBC)...Its was better than a standard bleed valve because it passed all bled air back into intake...whereas normal bleed valves bleed air to atmosphere and are therefore technically illegal...

Before you do what **RB2530** says, how do you know your car is running just 5 psi of boost ? Do you have an aftermarket boost gauge, or are you just reading off the stock one one the dash ? Cause I hope you know that's not in PSI, but in mmHg. (where 5 mmHg = 'round 9.5 PSI)

Right, I see! You know Jap cars LOL! The more buttons to push the better LOL!

I believe the Stock Boost Gauge reads in -0.7 to +0.7 Bar

i have an aftermarket boost guage.....and its reading less than 5psi

Did you say your car was stock except the new exhaust you put on? Check out to see if the restrictor is still there... Ask you mechanic if your not sure...

Hey WOG BOY!

which restrictor are you talking about?

**RB2530** explains it. I will post a pic to show you where the Solenoid is (But It's From a GTR R32... I Think R33 GTS-T's Might Be Different?) But to give you an idea.

Where it is circled in RED is, I believe is the Boost Solenoid. Inside there is whats called a Brass Boost Restictor, which can be removed to gain a Safe Factory Boost increase of about 2-3psi.

**RB2530** Might have a pic of what the R33 GTS-T one looks like.

      Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
