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

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
