No.

take the boost controller out. put it back on actuator. and re-test. report back results please.

Ok will do, but out of curiosity wont the mixture be out of wack and tuned to 12 p? Will puting it to the actuator put it down to stock 7p ?

Also, do i keep the solonoid hoses blocked? Wat should i do with the hoses apart from running the cooler hose to the actator?

your ecu is NOT programable. changing the boost will not effect anything. there is no way to tune your ecu so please ignore this its not tuned business because its not tunable.

Your tuner did not tune the car to 12psi or any boost level. if he said this then he probly did because he was charging you extra money and needed an excuse for it.

report back with results

as much as i would love a new ecu i dont want to go that path as they are not legal

Then look into a daughter board.

it goes into your ECU box.

Toshi or dr drift maybe has these?

Also, EMU's like gready emanage uses your stock computer as well, just hide the emanage or something.

Your a member of vic SAU, so talk to them an see how they go about tuning their computers.

The stock computer is so stupidly out of tune at 12 PSI that putting it back to stock PSI will improve the tune if anything.

Ok, wat do i do with the hoses wat is the stock setup?

And i dont hav the hose with the little ball restricter, does this matter? or will not having the restricter bring it to 10 pound?

ok i took it for a spin with no controller etc

doing the exact same thing!

the hoses are fine theres no leaks etc, any specific hoses i should check on the engine?

im getting the intercooler pressure tested next week to see if its that to

:(

you need to give me more information. what is it doing?!?

explain. the "same thing" is not good enough. I aint going to help you if you are not going to give me proper feedback.

up to you.

Well it gets to .5 bar and pauses for a second at around 5k rpm and starts creeping, it got to .7 bar before i pulled off, couldve gone more, felt the same roughness, it also had this strange power boostwene it was past .5 bar....

what exhaust system are you running? mainly cat converter and dump pipe... also if you've got access to a reulator and compressor, check to see if the diaphram in your actuator hasnt gt a slght split/crack/leak, do this by connecting hose to actuator from compresser and very slowly start putting pressure into it and you should see the arm move and open the flap on the turbo.

Well it gets to .5 bar and pauses for a second at around 5k rpm and starts creeping, it got to .7 bar before i pulled off, couldve gone more, felt the same roughness, it also had this strange power boostwene it was past .5 bar....

ok now. leave the line connected how it was when you did this test.

Do the test again

Next time dont back off untill it goes over 1 bar. if it does go over one bar. report back with results. and be acurate with results again please.

ok i took her for a spin tonight, i took it easy in 1 and 2, 3 i floord it, it when normaly to .5kpa and paused there for a sec, then it started to creep slowley toward 1bar, now heres the thing, it got to 1bar and stopped, then came back to .9bar and sat then i backed off, when it got to 1bar i was doing about 130 so i backed off. so it wont go over 1bar and will come back to .9bar as soon as it gets to 1bar.

i wasnt really looking at the taco at the time but i never reached the rev limiter, so i think it got to 1bar at around 6k

Id say start from scratch. Remove the stock solonoid (the thing in your pic where u have one hose blocked off and the other hose comes from the BOV return/plumback Line). Get rid of it, and block off the hose from the bov return line.

Run a boost line from part of your intercooler piping on the high pressure side of the turbo to your actuator.

I got the impression from one of your posts that you have a dump pipe that has a wastegate flap built into it, meaning you have 2 wastegate flaps (1 on the turbo and 1 on the dump pipe).... i believe i misunderstood this as you trying to explain that u have a bellmouth dump pipe that is one pipe from your exhaust wheel and wastegate flap rather then a seperate pipe from your wastegate flap that joins into the exhaust later.

I know people have already suggested to run a line from ur pipework directly to ur actuator. but Im just saying get rid of all the crap thats in there so you just have the basic one line.

See how u go :(

mine was doing the same thing at the beginning of the year after i put on my high flow. just wanted to go to 17 psi no matter what i did. ended up being that the tune was to rich and over boosting. to fix i put in a 2 1/4 " restriction plate in and a re tune with a SAFC2. only goes to 11 psi now.

was it doing it before you decatted?

Edited by Pal

Pal

its the stock ecu so i dont know if it can run rich?

i cant remember if it was before i decatted, ive ordered a catco cat so we will soon see!

Boostin96

the solonoid is all blocked off at the moment, theres a pipe to the lower hole but its blocked aswell, all the hoses are done as you suggested.

i have a bellmouth yes, its just a one bit 3 inch pipe to the back of the turbo, but when i had a split pipe in, it was also doing this.

you say, remove all the crap in there so its just one pipe? but at the moment i just have the one hose from the cooler piping to the actuator, i dont think it can get any simpler lol

i still recon its down to the tune. as far as i know the stock computer runs rich and with all the other stuff on there and running rough at the top end will be the r&r. need to get yourself a tunable computer or get yours chipped.

    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too. 
    • Any update on this one? did you manage to get it fixed?    i'm having the same issue with my r34 and i believe its to do with the smart entry (keyless) control module but cant be sure without forking out to get a replacement  
    • So this being my first contribution to the SAU forums, I'd like to present and show how I had to solve probably one of the most annoying fixes on any car I've owned: replacing a speedometer (or "speedo") sensor on my newly acquired Series 1 Stagea 260RS Autech Version. I'm simply documenting how I went about to fix this issue, and as I understand it is relatively rare to happen to this generation of cars, it is a gigantic PITA so I hope this helps serve as reference to anyone else who may encounter this issue. NOTE: Although I say this is meant for the 260RS, because the gearbox/drivetrain is shared with the R33 GTR with the 5-speed manual, the application should be exactly the same. Background So after driving my new-to-me Stagea for about 1500km, one night while driving home the speedometer and odometer suddenly stopped working. No clunking noise, no indication something was broken, the speedometer would just stop reading anything and the odometer stopped going up. This is a huge worry for me, because my car is relatively low mileage (only 45k km when purchased) so although I plan to own the car for a long time, a mismatched odometer reading would be hugely detrimental to resale should the day come to sell the car. Thankfully this only occurred a mile or two from home so it wasn't extremely significant. Also, the OCD part of me would be extremely irked if the numbers that showed on my dash doesn't match the actual ageing of the car. Diagnosing I had been in communication with the well renown GTR shop in the USA, U.P.garage up near University Point in Washington state. After some back and forth they said it could be one of two things: 1) The speedometer sensor that goes into the transfer case is broken 2) The actual cluster has a component that went kaput. They said this is common in older Nissan gauge clusters and that would indicate a rebuild is necessary. As I tried to figure out if it was problem #1, I resolved problem #2 by sending my cluster over to Relentless Motorsports in Dallas, TX, whom is local to me and does cluster and ECU rebuilds. He is a one man operation who meticulously replaces every chip, resistor, capacitor, and electronic component on the PCB's on a wide variety of classic and modern cars. His specialty is Lexus and Toyota, but he came highly recommended by Erik of U.P.garage since he does the rebuilds for them on GTR clusters.  For those that don't know, on R32 and R33 GTR gearboxes, the speedometer sensor is mounted in the transfer case and is purely an analog mini "generator" (opposite of an alternator essentially). Based on the speed the sensor spins it generates an AC sine wave voltage up to 5V, and sends that via two wires up to the cluster which then interprets it via the speedometer dial. The signal does NOT go to the ECU first, the wiring goes to the cluster first then the ECU after (or so I'm told).  Problems/Roadblocks I first removed the part from the car on the underside of the transfer case (drain your transfer case fluid/ATF first, guess who found out that the hard way?), and noted the transfer case fluid was EXTREMELY black, most likely never changed on my car. When attempting to turn the gears it felt extremely gritty, as if something was binding the shaft from rotating properly. I got absolutely no voltage reading out of the sensor no matter how fast I turned the shaft. After having to reflow the solder on my AFM sensors based on another SAU guide here, I attempted to disassemble the silicone seal on the back of the sensor to see what happened inside the sensor; turns out, it basically disintegrated itself. Wonderful. Not only had the electrical components destroyed themselves, the magnetic portion on what I thought was on the shaft also chipped and was broken. Solution So solution: find a spare part right? Wrong. Nissan has long discontinued the proper sensor part number 32702-21U19, and it is no longer obtainable either through Nissan NSA or Nissan Japan. I was SOL without proper speed or mileage readings unless I figured out a way to replace this sensor. After tons of Googling and searching on SAU, I found that there IS however a sensor that looks almost exactly like the R33/260RS one: a sensor meant for the R33/R34 GTT and GTS-T with the 5 speed manual. The part number was 25010-21U00, and the body, plug, and shaft all looked exactly the same. The gear was different at the end, but knowing the sensor's gear is held on with a circlip, I figured I could just order the part and swap the gears. Cue me ordering a new part from JustJap down in Kirrawee, NSW, then waiting almost 3 weeks for shipping and customs clearing. The part finally arrives and what did I find? The freaking shaft lengths don't match. $&%* I discussed with Erik how to proceed, and figuring that I basically destroyed the sensor trying to get the shaft out of the damaged sensor from my car. we deemed it too dangerous to try and attempt to swap shafts to the correct length. I had to find a local CNC machinist to help me cut and notch down the shaft. After tons of frantic calling on a Friday afternoon, I managed to get hold of someone and he said he'd be able to do it over half a week. I sent him photos and had him take measurements to match not only the correct length and notch fitment, but also a groove to machine out to hold the retentive circlip. And the end result? *chef's kiss* Perfect. Since I didn't have pliers with me when I picked up the items, I tested the old gear and circlip on. Perfect fit. After that it was simply swapping out the plug bracket to the new sensor, mount it on the transfer case, refill with ATF/Nissan Matic Fluid D, then test out function. Thankfully with the rebuilt cluster and the new sensor, both the speedometer and odometer and now working properly!   And there you have it. About 5-6 weeks of headaches wrapped up in a 15 minute photo essay. As I was told it is rare for sensors of this generation to die so dramatically, but you never know what could go wrong with a 25+ year old car. I HOPE that no one else has to go through this problem like I did, so with my take on a solution I hope it helps others who may encounter this issue in the future. For the TL;DR: 1) Sensor breaks. 2) Find a replacement GTT/GTS-T sensor. 3) Find a CNC machinist to have you cut it down to proper specs. 4) Reinstall then pray to the JDM gods.   Hope this guide/story helps anyone else encountering this problem!
