Found this little hose had come off. Fixed the high idle problem ive been having :thumbsup: See attached pic

But today it came off again. Its obviously a vacuum hose going to the fuel pressure reg but i didnt realise just how important it is until i did some reading on here.

This from sydneykid was most enlightening.. and scary

Sydneykid on FPR hose/boost guage install

There is no clamps on this little hose and no evidence there ever were so it makes me think nissan never expected it to come off. Its coming off when the car is on boost.

Anyone know why? i dont want to just clamp the thing on id rather understand whats happening because it could be pointing to something more serious?

Car is R32 gtr, 1989, 1.0 bar boost, stock computer, aftermarket turbos recently installed which were rebuilt and highflowed r33's.

most likely there is a small split in one end of the hose, so replace it. Mine is on and off regularly (with every motor) so I cable tie it each time. Never had a problem since (and despite Gary's disagreement I run my boost controller from there)

I replaced myn a while ago with some good turbosmart vac line then cable tied it. Just make sure the replacement hose is the same ID.

I would recommend silicone hose for replacement over rubber too. I also never T anything off the reg line as gary mentions.

i had the same problem,

replaced the hose as its cheap as, mine had dried up and was a stretched from being on the car for 20 years.

FYI mine is a '89 R32 GTR too.

replaced the hose, cable tied it and it hasnt popped off since.

easy fix!

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
