Hi, as the title says im installing a boost guage in the GTR

everything is all sorted but i cant get the farkin boost pressure pipe thing (that hooks up to the back of the guage) from the engine bay to the interior....

any body got any tips on where to find a firewall to squeeze the tube through??

I got told there is one at the top left of the engine bay but I tried forever and couldnt get anything through

any tips/suggestions/prior experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

U

There's a few good guides on here on installing boost gauges, i ran mine through the firewall just to the right above the accelerator pedal had to cut a little hole through the rubber gromet carefully and came up back through the engine bay just near the little black box i think the stock boost gauge hose runs into was fairly easy was a hassle grabbing the hose though used some long nose pliers

i c... thanks for that... im not too sure if GTS-T and GTRs have the same setup... i remember it was really easy on my old GTS-T... on the GTR is an absolute mission for some reason

ill look around the accelerator on the weekend but im pretty sure its the same one i tried today

cheers

Yea im not sure either wouldn't see why they wouldn't be though :wacko: took me ages to find the rubber grommet though was really buried ...

'Would like to add that the R33 GTR's don't have that hole in the firewall next to the stereo. Instead you'll have to cut open the large rubber grommet where the loom travels through, which is just to the right of the accelerator cable behind the insulating stuff.'

looks like i have some cutting to do on the weekend

thanks!

jesus dont cut anything grab a bloody piece of long wire or electrical line tape the vac line to the hard wire and poke it thru the gromet thus making a clean hole not butchering crap jesus

just wanted to add one more " JESUS " :D

agreed. there is no need to cut any grommet anywhere on the firewall in any model GTR just to get a boost hose through there. I can get plenty of sensor wires, boost hoses etc throuhg the various grommets without cutting anything.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
