Is that it? Is there anyway to put it back to stock? Is there no fix for this issue? Why is it doing this now and not wene it was at stock?

Don't be a pusseh. Get an ECU. If cost is a problem, sell skyline and get a barina.

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

See either two things are still happening here:

1. You have not plumbed it back to the actuator correctly and removed the controller

2. The actuator is bad and/or the wastegate flap

If you dropped back onto a working actuator correctly then you should now only be running 8psi. It shoulnd't be anywhere near 1bar. Remove the actuator and insure the wastegate flap can move freely all the way down and up again, re-install the actuator.

My suggestion would be to "Obtain" the service manual for it, and take a good look at the vac diagrams. I still don't think you have the lines right.

Edit: You said in a previous post that you replaced the actuator, where did you get the new actuator from? You are aware that different actuators can hold different levels of boost yes?

Chances are it's a 1bar actuator you have replaced it with.

with the hoses ive done exactly whatever they’ve said, I changed the actuator because I changed the turbo, the turbo I bought was a s2 and it came with the stock actuator, so when I mean I changed the actuator I realy changed the whole turbo with actuator.

as for the hoses, can anyone give me a pic of what they have? So I can refer to it and copy?

cbf reading the entire thread, I changed one of these back to a stock setup last week...

Looking at your pic the orange and green hoses are arse about.

I don’t think it matters mate, cos there both blocked

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
