hey all,

the idea of the switch is a good idea to control when you want highboost or when u want two stage boost.

ANYONE got pics of their switch, or installation of the switch that they could post up.

assuming you cut the black wire and ground it, without using a switch.

just a quick question?

is this mod reversible? like if u want the two stage boost again without using a switch. further down the track could u reattach/solder the black wire through its original path again? or is stuffed once cut?

hopefully someone can help?

Cheers :laugh:

I would imagine that you could solder the wire again, I just bought a 4 buck switch from supercheap, and mounted it in the dash I drilled a hole in the removable pushout panel thing, its just a simple on off switch,

I cbf running the wire through the firewall so i ran it next to the loom that follows the strut and continues to the wiper motor, then into the gaurd and the door, i know crap way of doing it but it works, BTW heres a pic or two! :)

  • 2 weeks later...

Just did this on my R34 this afternoon, it works..it's now hitting 8psi at about 2,500rpm.

Will be hooking up a switch next weekend to switch between high boost & low/hi boost.

Also, in the pic it looks like the black wire to the plug is still connected but it's not - it's just tucked back into the black surround.

Question:When I put on a full turbo back 3 inch exhaust this will be rendered unnecessary, correct?

Hi all. Is there anyone from sydney who has done this mod that wouldnt mind helpingme out. i live in the liverpool area and dont feel confident enough to start cutting wires. let me know.....there will be an ice cold six pack in it.

No. The only time it will be unnecessary is when you have some form of boost controller that will be bypassing the stock solenoid.

drive to Turramurra and ill do it for you :(

Im outta switches though...

Seriously man... its the most simple job ever...

I just shoved a cotter pin down the back of the plug.. and grounded it to the airbox.. I can remove the mod within seconds and no cutting wires at all

No. The only time it will be unnecessary is when you have some form of boost controller that will be bypassing the stock solenoid.

I thought if the boost solenoid was left standard and I added a full exhaust which usually will up the boost by 2psi then the solenoid would be made obsolete?

no, instead of being 5psi/7psi (on an R33, not sure if its the same boost on R34's?) it will then be 7psi/9psi

I hoped it would be like that :P

So it's been tried & proven to be that way?

As far as im aware.. my exhaust is only catback.. However im running around 9.5 PSI... Blitz Turbo timer tell me 0.71 kg/cm2 (which equals 9.5psi) and just installed a boost gauge.. it also reads just under 10 psi

Is that possible with only catback?

Before the mod it was 7/9psi

hey i did this on my 33gtst and its poping and crap well by the way its a S1 4 speed auto , 600x300x75 intercooler and a 3.5inch stainless from cat back and i did this thing by cut the black wire and the black wire onto the car body and the black wire from the computer taped to block it . now took it up the street and it will get to 5 psi then it will just back fire and pop and jump or what ever eles .. then i put it all back to normal then it was fine . i wanted to do this thing , but can anyone tell me how to solve this problem . or anyone from lismore or ballina . cheers, adam

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
