the ecu's don't really rely on the map sensor. the fuel cut (known as rich and retard) is activated by the afm signal. once it gets to certain parts of the map the ecu says "oh no you don't sonny" and dumps in a heap of fuel and backs off the timing.

if that the case i might have bought a wrong fuel cut defender...

so when i buy 1 i should buy the one that is connecting to afm not map sensor..

am i right here?

r34s DO have a boost pressure sensor (well 2 actually one for the stock gauge and one for the ecu). its bolted to the fire wall right next to the blow off valve . i said boost pressure sensor because it cant really be a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor as it comes out of the J pipe .

from my understand the R34 has a boost pressure sensor to check for excessive pressure

that is, so the ecu knows if you try and run more boost. it uses this sensor to check, and runs its r&r protection when it see's a certain level of pressure

unsure if it also runs its normal r&r via airflow meter, but it certainly does via map sensor pressure

so your Fuel cut device would need to intercept this one

there are 2, as the others have said, one is for the stock guage (it would have wires running to the dash area)

and one would be for the ECU

the r34 does indeed have a boost sensor it is located near the std bov. It is located where the ignitor pack is on a early r33.

Said map sensor cuts all fun if it goes out of range.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
