that was my old R32 in my pic there.. i have an R32 4Door RB25det... duz the boost solenoid connects to the wastegate actuator Vacuum line?? i have a strait vacuume line from actuator to the intercooler pipe.

yes it has an RB25 Conversion... okay kool. so if i have no boost solenoid what boost will run 5-6 psi?

That really depends what actuator it has in there if it was the one off your 32 then it would be 10psi, if was the standard 33 one would be around 7psi i believe.

standard 33 wastegate is about 5psi. if your 32 has had a conversion done then there is a good chance the solenoid wasn't put in. it is normally situated on the strut tower on the passenger side. since you have a straight hose from the wastegate actuator to the cooler pipe then you don't have the solendoid (well at least not hooked up). just get a manual boost controller if you want to up the boost a bit.

cheers for confirming all of that. i have a manual boost controller i just installed. but it wont make any more then 6-7 psi not matter if its full on or full closed. its a FLYIN controller wastegate style.

I see a problem there, all 3 boost controller ports are being used.. I think only 2 are supposed to be plugged into it.

Yeah one of the ports is a vent to atmosphere - check the installation instructions if you have them.

- one port to high pressure side (anywhere between turbo compressor outlet and throttle)

- one port to wastegate actuator

- one port venting to atmosphere

on the valve i have the side entry is the high pressure side, and the bottom port is to the actuator (IIRC...). You'll have to work out which of your side ports is what.

haha yeah iv dun these before just not 1 with 3 ports... no installation instructions... the top 2 ports never close, only the bottom port closes up fully. so should i just block 1 side off and just use 2?

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
