haha you're a funny bastard Nick.

Yea Chris been On the forum for a little bit just haven't posted anything as I haven't had anything useful to contribute (probably still don't haha) excited to meet up with some of the peeps on here :)

pretty sure you have met everyone on here (toowoomba anywah) already. Maybe not evo nick though

Am have a bbq and drinks on Saturday night if any of you regulars want to come around for a few drinks and a catch up. Just swing me a pm or text if you want to come and will give you the new address and time

Hey guys quick question - due to my car being from the gold coast and our obvious atmosphere difference up here would that make it incredibly difficult to start the car in the morning? Also I get zero boost in first and alot less in second than I used to a week ago when I picked it up... The blitz id3 is only registering 4psi peak when it used to be around 16 in second. I'm taking it out of town this arv for a more definitive test on actual peak boost

After that I'd check the turbo too....first check the actuator tension and if the actuator rod hasn't hopped off it's wastegate flap spindle. Then remove compressor intake pipework and check how the turbo spins/feels/play etc. Shagged turbo or popped off actuator rod will mean very low boost also.

Couple things for ya to start with ;)

And another thing that could easily bugger things up is a faulty AFM or just a blob of oil on the AFM's sensor...another thing you can add to your list.

And speaking of air/fuel mixtures....sparkplug, coil packs and block fuel filter/injector can also cause low boost....although the deterioration of these is usually gradual in nature. Sounds like this thing just happened all of a sudden?

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
