Yes you kinda do, without being attached to anything that vacuum hose will be sucking in unmetered air (dirt, grease and what other shit is in your enginebay)

That's not such an issue, could simply block off the hose.

Thing is, that boost sensor is wired to the ECU, which will flag DTC's and cause problems. Trust me, I am well aware of what happens when that sensor is disconnected lol.

My boost holds fine drives fine and not anything had gone wrong yet lol I can't see anything wrong with it and ps I'm also running a defi gauge and thinking it is also a boost controller because boost is just above .5 bar and smooth all the way

Trust me mate. I know how the car drives without the sensor. It is going to cause you issues that you don't 'feel' while driving, I'm telling you now. Either get it replaced, or put a 1v resistor inline to trick the ECU.

I'm currently going through the same headache.

my stock boost gauge sometimes dies completely when driving then comes back up after a couple of minutes. could this be a faulty sensor or instrument gauge? what would happen if the stock boost sensor fails? ermm.gif

Same issue was on my R34 as well. Its intermittent fault with sensor.

Either replace with new one or second hand for $150 the price I got from some wreck yards (bit of a rip off) or contact me to repair yours.

it is an intermittent fault in the circuitry due to bad soldering = dry joint = annoying when boost gauge works on an occassion.

I was searching on SAU to find if anyone else had issues with this. found you, Will make a separate post so ppl don't get slugged paying big money for a relatively easy fix.

Though if R32 or R33 sensors are not repairable like the r34 (well not as easy, but haven't found a faulty one yet)

      They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.

      370GT ( Type SP ) - Sedan - Cruise Control - Forced Induction - EcuTek

      Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,

      I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?

      Sorry I mean, from my limited understanding of this, a direct bolt on BM57 will do the exact same thing as a 370z BMC otherwise would. I.e it should be a perfect match for the 370z kit.
