r32 gtst is 10 psi. i know because i have one.

r33 gtst and r34 gtt is 5 psi. i know because i have one. if the 33 and 34 was 7 psi, you could never have 5psi below 4500rpm as is the factory setup.

A 3rd option is to install a different wastgate actuator and the good news is the R32GTST item is exactly the same as the R34 except the spring inside is set for 10psi. R32 actuators can be hard to find but I think it’s the best option for this level of modification as boost spikes and boost creep are eliminated.

could be incorrect though

my numbers are straight off the R32 and R33 service manuals

they indicate the minimum boost pressure before the actuator will start to open, that is, the minimum possible boost

HR32 is 12psi

R33 gtst AUTO is 5psi with 2psi bleed at 4500rpm by std solenoid, but base actuator is 5psi

R33 gtst MANUAL is 7psi with 2psi bleed at 4500rpm by std solenoid, but base actuator is 7psi

the service manuals could be wrong, but it is unlikely

didn't the rb25det and rb20det's have different actuators?

I'll be doing the same as you soon maddowse, did you find one?

yes i got it all done today !! i put new spark plugs in added the 3" bellmouth dump pipe and 3" cosco cat ,

also installed a blitz intercooler.

OK for starters i don't need to change the actuator as the boost didn't climb at all it was showing 12.5 on the guage before i installed everything and now its solid on 12psi .

the car now runs smoother (spark plugs) and also its now quieter ?? i thort opening the exhaust would make it louder but it hasn't and doesn't bother me one bit, response is still there so the cooler hasn't affected spool up time so all in all a good result . as for more power ill get back to you as its wet and I'm ether getting a engine light or if i turn off traction control I'm hitting rev limiter in seconds so i guess its hard to tell until its dry.

it doesnt seem to have any more power but i dont know if its just the gains are too small to notice or that maybe because its so much quieter now i feel i thinks its not i dont know , i should do a dyno run theres no point as i dont know what it was before the upgrades!!!.

can anyone claify for me i want to know if theres any boost leaks but i cant hear anything and the boost doesnt drop when the foots down but i dont feel the thrust of the turbo as much (agin it maybe because i cant hear the exhaust so my mind is tricking me or i could have been expecting huge gains so it feels less than i expected !!.

also i disconected the battery to put it in learn mode if that changes anything ??

sorry but but i am a noobe

r&r would be very noticeable mate, it will run like shit and be very unpleasant. O2 sensor will probably be due for a change, they only last like 60000km, but it won't impact on power, just on your freeway fuel economy.

Problem for us is there's no aftermarket O2 sensors like on the r33's and r32's, so we have to buy nissan, which are $200+.

You could dyno it and see if it's putting out the right amount of power by comparing it to the dyno thread. Or drive a friends corolla or whatever for some perception aligning :verymad:

ps: remember oil change after dyno mate

apparently mate, it's one of those things we're all meant to know lol. its mentioned here and there in the oils thread.

i think it's because the engine is pushed hard and gets hot, so its treated a bit like a drag or circuit day

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
