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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
