C Clip On Actuator Arm

When swapping the actuator off my R33 yesterday, I popped off the c clip that hold the actuator arm in place and I bloody lost it!! I know I'm a d!ck..... Is this an issue/do I need it? When I put the other actuator on and bolted it in place, it didn't seem like the actuator arm could come off by itself anyway. Any advice/info?

Cheers,

Don't stress too much mate - worst case scenario for the meantime until you replace it is that the actuator arm comes off the wastegate arm (since no clip to hold it there) and your wastegate just freely opens causing you to pretty well not make any boost. Absolutely no chance of doing any damage to anything in this case.

The wastegate arm is on a 45 o angle on the LHS which is as far as it goes. I've tried pulling up the actuator arm but it's not budging more than 2 or 3mm anyway so I don't think the whole arm would come off just by itself in day to day traffic.

Will put on the replacement clips when they arrive but thanks to all for the info. :)

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
