just wondering... i did this mod, but im unsure if it has actualy changed anything. but on the stock boost gauge (one in the dash), half way mark, what psi is that?

its a gts25t 95 model by the way

ah kool.. well i guess the mod worked then =)

reason y i was unsure was i didnt cut the black wire, but striped it back on one section behind the black cover sleve that goes over both the wires, and then attached the grounding wire there, so that if the cops do inspect it, it wont look like anything has been changed cause its hiden

"+7 on the gauge is 14.5PSI I do believe.. so 1/2 way is about 7PSI"

wow, why is +7 14.5psi??

yes i had the same problem, saw that it only went just over halfway so i wasnt sure if it worked or not, so i changed it back.

pity i didnt try it just with myself in the car, everyone wanted to jump in to see what the difference was.. so with 4 people.. went even slower than normal obviously :)

stock boost guage is in mmhg

7 mmhg = 1 bar = 14.7psi

i installed a bleed valve and looped the two hoses going into the 5psi solenoid and all was merry when i booted it, and as soon as i got to 4500rpm the engine just went nuts and backfired, and hesitated shockingly before going back to normal, pulling like a train at roughly 5000rpm..any ideas? i guess the ecu doesnt like the boost solenoid not doing anything...was this hesitation in the engine the knock sensors retarding my timing?? it scared the hell outta me...happened a couple of times...thought it may have been overboosted by my bleed valve but in disconnectiong it, it made no difference...ill just ground the solenoid...should be safe that way..anyway..can someone explain what happened to make my engine go all crazy?

nevermind..solved the problem...im such a retard i totally bypassed the wastegate actuator so it was bleeding off all vacuum..so wastegate just refused to open...this is very bad....i musta hit roughly 20psi at one stage...fu@king so lucky it didnt damage anything..

i'll give it a try tonite with my er34 semiauto and see what happens. Might do the safe option and wire up a small switch in the engine bay to constantly ground it.

yay! more power!

not too noticable in an auto but there is slightly better acceleration in the lower rpm range, no longer need to kick the auto down a gear.

I tried this and it works mad!!! Love it. What i also did though was i used a change over relay, i put a on off switch on the dash when the switch is off the computer controls the boost and in the on position the solenoid gets gounded,

its the best possible way this mod can be done without any effects.

Change Over Relay Conections

85 - Earth

86 - switch on dash with 12+ volt

30 - to solenoid

87 - to the wire you cut going to computer

87a - Earth

Hope this helps

i dont have the original pics anymore or the solenoid. can someone take some pics of the mod done please and ill post them back to first post on page #1

nobody is able to post up the pics of their solenoid and wiring for me??? :D i have about 30 minutes of daylight left and really would like to have this done before i go out cruising tonight

the next best thing would be if you could just direct me as to where to find this solenoid.......i've looked around the engine bay but i'm unable to find it :)

Late,

Daniel

the solenoid is near the stock airbox.

Its just behind it to the right... its like a funny looking gold thing with 2 hoses coming out of it...

Its next to some liquid container if i recall correctly, cant remeber which one..

but yeah its right near the airbox..

thanx Jason

okay cool i just checked it out......but my wires aren't white OR black :rolleyes:

i have a light green wire and a blue wire with a white chaser (stripe)......anybody know what to do with these colored wires???

Also get rid of the restrictive gause either side of the AFM, again, what is it going to stop other than air? If something is big enough to break thru the air filter, it deserves to break your afm and will regardless...

if you're talking about the screen on the AFM i wouldn't remove that. That screen is there in order to create a venturi effect on the intake air just before it his the AFM device, this is important as it helps your AFM accurately monitor the amount of air coming in much better than it would w/o the venturi effect.

I know people who have removed this screen from their AFMs (not skyline owners) and the end result caused them to have to go out and buy a brand new unit. Just thought i'd put that out there

nah stock boost is 5 - 7psi..

when you go past 4500rpm the boost solenoid thing opens and gives you the extra 2 psi.. so you get 7 in total..

What do you mean 1+ ?

7 on the stock boost gauge means 14psi if thats what your talking bout ?

so stock boost is about 5psi this mod increases it to around 7, isn't 1+ about 14psi?

:O

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
