C Clip On Actuator Arm


White_33

Recommended Posts

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,

Chicken wire it on for the meantime...and then order a new one...its unlikely to come off immediately but down the road you never know...you can order a new one online...

Search "wastegate clip" on eBay...

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. :)

    • The price isn't the issue, it's how hard my fuel pump is to remove now. I fabricated a custom bracket so my pump sits on the very bottom of the tank (I ran the tank down to 5L remaining to test it, works well). But it is a fkn NIGHTMARE to get the pump down into the tank now =/ words can't describe how much I hate fighting with the fuel pump/hanger now. The other issue is reliability, I'm driving down for WTA in a couple of months, I'd be less then impressed if I was half way to Sydney from Brisbane and my pump fails again =/ The other issue I had was my car battery was slowly failing, with low battery voltage my fuel pump couldn't keep up with what the reg was asking from it. I've replaced the battery and my fuel pressure is back to being perfect.  As for the low voltage situation that killed my previous battery, I've got a 150amp alternator sitting on my desk waiting to go in. Fingers crossed that will sort that issue. 
    • OK so I just bidded $500 on an R33 GTS4 that no one seems to want. Waiting on a call from the agent to see if I won. 32 GTS4 is for sale. I can't deal with the temptation to mod it.

    • I know one example is a anecdote not data, but I'm running the same Aeroflow 525 at full voltage through a regular relay, and while I've had other fuel problems including melting the factory fuel hat, the pump itself has been fine for years. Of course, they aren't *that* expensive these days, you could swap in a new one and see if the issue is resolve. I think you had a previous thread about fuel problems, have you been monitoring and logging fuel pressure? Is there anything voltage related (for example does the voltage go up when the pressure goes down)
