yeh i think its got a replacement as i can only see a vacuum line goin from the wastegate to the turbo. also there is a switch in the cabin and when it is pressed it drops revs or puts them higher... depends which way you look at it. what would that be for?

cheers

Is it an Auto. Some Autos have a switch which i am not sure what it is for. somethin live over drive. it is used when driving on highways and when pressed it drops to a lower gear i think. not sure though

get pics of both the switch and the actuator.

you say that the hose from the actuator just goes to the turbo. do you mean it is only very short and goes to a nipple on the compressor housing? if so then the turbo isn't the stock one either as the stock turbo doesn't have a nipple on the compressor housing.

as for the switch making the revs drop, it would have to be something that is adding extra load as someone said. how much does it drop it by? only 100 or 200rpm? could possibly be an aircon switch if the stock one is dead. maybe try seeing where the wires go

      BNR34 identify this connector please

      By bigboss59400 · Posted

      that is correct to be more precise, this sensor goes to a loom which contains only the flat blade single terminal (to connected to this sensor) and then the connector shown in my first post. This loom is tied up to one of engine hairness

      Farewell Neil.....hope the tracks are awesome where you are going

      By Victory · Posted

      This is really sad news to hear and it has taken me a few days to come to grips with the loss of Neil.  Neil was very straight forward and I have always respected his honesty and how he called it how it was.  He was a very knowledgeable man and was always available to provide advice when you needed help to solve a problem because he would have encountered the same issue in the past and could explain how he solved it.  Neil will be missed by many members of the Skyline family.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Dropped the car down to my mates shop on the 19th to get it on the dyno. Ran the motor in and dropped the running in oil and filter and filled it up with some engine oil.  Monday arvo I went down and we got a tune in her. Had a fun time trying to get it to hook up on the rollers. We end up having to roll into the throttle, reaching full throttle at around 6k. Made 23psi on gate then tapered off to 20psi up the top and spat out a healthy 700rwhp.  We had a slight voltage issue which was dropping ecu volts to around 11.8v so we called it quits and on Tuesday I went down and ran a couple of new power feeds to the ECU and DBW relays. Have yet to test it as we were trying to get things sent into the ECU from the TCU over CAN. We've now got oil temp, programme switch and gear position. Still working on gearbox speed, but have been told what to do so hopefully that will sort it. Once we've got speed working, we can start setting up the gear shift cuts and do some clutch adaptations in the TCU.  Should have the majority of it setup this week and go over the tune to see how it is now with the new power wire.  Was slack this time, didnt get any full runs as I was watching the TCU data on the laptop.

      Power Steering Fluid Leaking Consistently

      By silviaz · Posted

      Not until I googled it, now I remember lol. Seems like it's just to clean it up. But it doesn't stop the leak, I have a leak issue though? Thinking whether I need a new bottle, surely not lol.
