Okay I pulled the hose off with the yellow stripe and I can't feel anything in the hose when I squeeze it. That would tell me that the thing isn't there. But when boosting my standard gauge only goes to the 2nd to last bar on the gauge..

What do we think is going on?

The hose feels pretty stiff as it is, though.

Mines still got the restrictor in it but I pulled out the hose and put a light into it to see the restrictor.

I'm scared if I take it out, bang goes the turbo's lol.

I can't remember what the bars on the gauge actually stand for... like isn't the 2nd bar like 10psi or something?

I think the second bar up the top of the gauge is close to 14psi/1bar. Would be great if someone could actually confirm this though. f**ks me what them standard measurements are in

Which hose is the restrictor in? The bottom or the top?

this picture seems to be pointing to the bottom one which is the thicker of the two. But the top one on my car is thinner and has the yellow stripe that everyone says the restrictor is in.

I'm confused. But if its not there and I'm not running 1Bar on my standard guage.. it opens up a whole list of problems I could have..

measurements are in mmHG which is the pressure of mercury - roughly said its the amount of fluid pressure exerted by one mm of mercury, so 760mm of mercury is equal to the sea level atmospheric pressure (1 bar)

Scientific measurement, NFI why they put it in a skyline, either bar or psi would have been much better

can i ring aus post to see if its here??

i know it was sent, i just want it my the weekend!!

you'll need a tracking number, like steve said if u got e-parcel u can check it on the web

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
