Hey guys and girls,

im new to the forum and have only recently purchased my first skyline a couple of week ago :whistling:

My dad and i have come across this (picture) and im not quite sure if this correct or not, as we are new to turbo engines.

This is how i purchased the car. Apparently the seller had a boost controller on at some point but had removed it.

There is a front mount intercooler fitted so the nipple from the stock piping is no longer there.

Im just wondering if this setup is ok or will it cause damage? and also is there a way to get it back to stock?

Thanks,

Andrew

It will be fine like that unless the Charcoal canister valve breaks and the gate stays shut.

I would plumb it to another boost/vacuum source from the plenum like where the BOV goes or just on the one next to it. T piece is fine

Thanks for the help guys really appreciated :P

I think it'l stay like that just for the time being until holidays when I'll try and put a nipple to the intercooler piping.

And just to make sure, it would go to the one I have circled in green? Any special location in particular?

Thanks guys

That's your hot pipe, would be a better indicator to go to the cold pipe.

And mentioned, if your plumbing is going straight to the actuator as it appears to be doing, you'll only see 5psi boost.

hey mate, sorry cant pm yet only new member, yeh that top pipe is going from the tee straight to the actuator with no other tees,

i just circled the solenoid to show the bottom hose is still connected. Which one is the cold pipe?

Thanks for the help

heres mine. i have a manual boost controller though but the two lines that go to my manual boost controller will just be moved to your standard solenoid. my standard one is still there anyway and you can see the nipple i added to the cold pipe.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
