My mates 1JZ has a similar thing...

Pretty sure its to do with the stock boost control system, and the guy/girl before you must've put a boost controller in and blocked off that line...

From what I know that orange thing is a vacuum reservoir or a filter like ^^ he said...

Try tracing the line back to where ever it originates, cos it could in fact be a EVAP line/carbon canister line, which is important for emissions and sh!t...

According to the service manual it is the 'air inlet pipe' that connects through a 'vacuum tank' to the 'turbo pressure sensor'. Obviously the pressure sensor is not connected at all.

Is this a bad thing? There is no boost controller in the car now although there may have been one installed by the previous owner.

In the middle photo, the bolt head is right next to a black box that looks like the boost pressure sensor. should have hitachi stamped on it. It plugs in underneath, check and see if there's a nipple there for the pipe to fit onto.

Some one has probably removed it to fool the ecu into not going into Rich and retard at higher boost.

You were spot on - there is a nipple for the pipe to fit onto. Now i'm wondering if I should reconnect it or not.

its not a filter.. it just stops pulsing in the line to give whatever it is a good reading....

You see this alot on jap BOV's and even map sensors that have issues with pulsing on the line.

Don't re-connect it unless you know what you are doing :D

And in terms of air pressure sensing, they call it a filter... :) The pulsing is referred to as "noise". And it's designed to filter out the noise.

Do you guys rekon there's any benefit to putting one of these in a pressure line to a map sensor?

I've got a map sensor on my car from the EMS Stinger. Anything that helps the computer get a more accurate load signal has got to be a good thing right??

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
