Hi mate, seeing as you bought the guage off me I thought I best shed some light on the installation process.

I own a R33, but most Nissans and particulary Skylines are all generic.

Most skylines in the drivers side wheel arch have the wiring loom bung which connects the fusebox in your kickpanel, next to the accelator to the fusebox under the bonnet.

If you turn your wheel full lock right and remove the inner guard plastic thing (if you have one) you will see some black plastic piping along with some other assorted wires (most likely aftermarket alarm wires)

If you pull the bung out you will have access to your cabin, this is how I have set mine up.

I suggest getting a coathanger, cutting it, and zipting the vac hose to one end of it and poking it thru, (screwdriver or any other long non-bending thing works well too)

Then its just simply a matter of hooking it up under your bonnet, then running the vac to your gauge where ever it is in your cabin and ziptieing the excess hose out of the way from sight and feet near the pedals!

Goodluck any other questions shoot me PM or post here!

I might mention to get it into your drivers side wheel arch, you need to run it back towards the firewall behind the RHS strut tower, you will find a few holes there, or just a large one just run it thru there,

One other thing, ziptie it to your loom, so it doesn't come loose and hang onto your tire and wear thru (or get ripped out)

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
