I just removed mine and literally noticed no difference? is it a tiny difference that you hardly notice? couldn't even see the vacuum meter change. i know it's not a great means of measuring boost but the maximum it ever gets is 350 mm of mercury (hg) i thought it would boost much harder? but still pretty much exactly the same? anything else i was supposed to do? what is the electrical wiring to the PCM?

Are you using a boost controller already?

not that i am aware of. car's got a dyno sheet stating it puts down 180 kilowatts. i'm an apprentice mechanic and i've had a good look around the engine bay and can't see anything? does this restriction usually make a pretty big difference?

an r32 gtr with restrictor out should boost 14.7 psi with full exhaust

well i definitely don't get anywhere near this. not even sure if it'd be getting over 8. it's in bar so it's not easy to tell. but 14 psi would be near the 750mm of mercury on the standard vaacuum meter and it's still at 350. i'm fairly confident it made no difference at all...

Hey dude, did you ever find the answer to this? I have exactly the same situ except mine boosts just above the mark between 0 and +7 on the boost gauge. So slightly more boost than you according to the gauge but it didnt change when I removed my boost restrictor. Again no aftermarket boost control.

mine was an easy fix. there are 2 restrictors, not just one in the line with the yellow band, but one in the other line to the PCM. it changed mine from .55 bar to .75 bar. .75 is just above the 350mm mercury line on the standard vacuum meter/boost meter.i'd estimate 500 to 550mm mercury.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
