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

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

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
