Question...

After putting on my new front mount kit I have realised that the old piping had a nipple on the cold side of the piping just before it turns 90deg toward the throttle body, to which a vacuum hose from the power steering pump is connected... The new piping does not have this.... :blink: do i need to re route this? or have a nipple put on the new piping?

Ah, that's not gonna be going ot the power steering... it'll be for your boost controller I'm guessing.

If you don't connect it, chances are you'll get infinite boost.

I'd be putting a nipple on the new piping ASAP.

i know the one you mean, and it does go to the power steering pump as you said. i'm not sure what the pump does with it though, but it wouldn't be a vent if its going back into i/c pipes. maybe some kind of vacuum/pressure assist for the pump? i'd hook it back up with the wastegate/boost controller line.

hi there mate...

what ive done is for my controller taken a reading off the waste gate and then the plenum... this is goingto give you a more accurate reading as its litteraly just as it passes into the engine...

and its on the same pipe just after the throttle body

EVERY thhing eles needs to be blocked off...

what boost controller u running??

on my last s2 i had a nipple put in but the way ive said above is the same in theory.

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
