10 should be fine. Most guys hit R&R around (13-15) on average. Mines on 10 now and its fine. (Also have a/m fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator though) It would be safe to upgrade your pump if you wanna run 10Psi.

i dont get the 3 way switch.. ?

heres how i see it.. instead of just joinin a wire from the black one to a ground(not choppin the wire off).. y not have a switch in the ground so you can control it.. ie.. when switch is in on position, it is grounded, thus the hi boost is always on... and when switch is in off position, the ecu thinks as if nothings happened and carries on with the 2 stage boost..

is the above not correct? :D

I think this is the info you are looking for..

There is another way to do this with exactly the same results. The only difference being that it is not visable inside the engine bay, or if wanting to use a switch can be done from inside the cabin. ( no running wires through the firewall)

Items required

wire ( different colors prefered)

Spade conectors

12 v 30amp changeover relay

on/off switch

Tools required

- wire cutters

- wire crimpers

Time taken about 30 min

This involves cutting wores directly from the ecu located in the passenger kickpanle. if you are not able to, or are not sure of which wire to cut, DONT do this!

1 - Remove passenger kickpanel

2 - on ECU locate plug second from bottom ( while it is still mounted in car)

3 - locate light green wire coming from this plug.

4 - cut wire

5 - install relay

Wiring for relay is:

30 - to green wire car side

87a - to green wire ECU side

87 - to pin 86 on this relay

85 - accessory 12v

86 - switch

6 - install switch

Wiring for on/off switch

pin 1 - to pin 86 of relay

pin 2 - earth

7 - reassemble car

8 - test drive

When the switch is in th ON position you will have high boost mode all the time, when the switch is off, it will run as a standard car ( hi/low boost mode)

Notes:

- Test car was a R33 series 2 - check wiring colors on other models before proceding

- Make sure all electrical connections are insulated

- make sure that all wiring is secured and cannot be damaged by normal operation of the car

yer i read that... BUT wouldnt just a switch be the easier way? i mean hook onto the black wire.. run it through the firewall and screw it somewhere near the kickpanel under teh steering wheel?

Could work..let us know. My setup was very similar but used a 3 way which was mounted in the cabin.

Here is the switch i used from DS.

Fits perfetly into the removable slot behind the windscreen wiper.

What you can do is grab one of your airbox bolts (if airbox is removed) and earth the wire to the existing holes, thats what I did anyway and works fine. This is a great DIY mod, wish there were more that worked this well.

Morning Ray,

Wow this topic has taken off hasnt it!!!

Yep i had plans to but a 13 month old whirlwing hit the fridge. :P

Hopefully i will get to try it this weekend.

If not im just going to ground the black wire.

Cheers :)

I just did this mod (it was the black wire) and i could tell straight away, feels so much stronger down low. This is in a series 1 :rolleyes:

Funny thing is, i was at work and we had a sparky doing our securty system, he did pretty much all of it for me...and when i got back from a strap, he said he'd done it for 2 other 33's hahaha :P !

  • 5 weeks later...

Can someone please post some pics and a step by step as i found the first example a bit hard to understand.

Am i suppose to just cut the black wire and ground it? Where is the solinoid anyway?

Im very new to skylines so all input is appreciated.

CHEERS

    • 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.
