Hey there,

have done plenty of research on the removal of boost restrictor on r33 gtr to get 14psi of boost.

I want to remove the restrictor but not cut it out so i have the option to re install it for sale etc.

Ive taken a picture of what i believe to be the yellow restrictor

what i ask from you;

Is this the right restrictor the yellow striped line?

How do i get the thing inside to come out so its non restricted without cutting the hose and rejoining it?

Thanks in advance for any replies and help.

Get a set of pliers, put them right behind the restricter and just push down on the hose until the restrictor moves up the hose. Move up the hose an repeat until it comes out. Save the restrictor, DO NOT THROW IT OUT. You might find that the increased boost leads to misfiring, so keep the restrictor to put back in if that happens (Obviously get this misfire issue fixed if that happens).

That's 380 - 420 mmHg. It actually says the units are 100mmHG on the gauge.

The reason that XKLABA wanted to know the answers to his various questions is part of the reason why you are not getting more like 700mmHg boost even with the restrictor removed. Your boost control system does not look standard. You need to know what about it isn't standard before trying to increase the boost with a trick that is supposed to work on the standard system.

/facepalm.

I agree with above, that blue hose isn't factory, and I have no idea what that thing is between the 2 lines.. it kinda looks like a wierd ass hose joiner. Looks like no mac valve (EBC solenoid) or a bleed valve or the factory boost controller.

380-420 mmHg is 7-8psi which sounds like actuator pressure.

Is it see-through plastic (looks like silver paint on it?) like this: http://www.boostcontroller.com/index.php?item=306&ret=http%3A%2F%

Then whoever you brought the car off orignally took the EBC out (most likely HKS EVC or another jap EBC that comes with these vacuum line filters) before sale and sold/kept the EBC.

With the hoses joined that that, you will only see actuator pressure (7-8psi). If you had the factory solenoid (found between battery and front drivers strut, labelled something like 'Nissan PCM valve') you would see 10-11psi with restrictor, and 14.7psi without restrictor.

If you don't have the factory solenoid, then get a decent boost T like a turbotech (the best of the boost T's) and adjust it, but bear in mind the resolution of the factory gauge is only +7 (13.2psi) and even then it's not very accurate.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
