The point of it is that Nissan Japan sold the GTR within the existing "Gentlemen's Agreement" that said no manufacturer would release a car with more than 205kW (or 206, or 207 or 208, depending on who you listen to). The restrictor was put in the boost control system to set the boost to a level that would stay pretty much within the gentlemen's agreement, but was trivial to remove and make GTRs close to unbeatable on the street (which was one of their highly desirable aims, of course).

The ECU will happily run the engine with that much boost, but it wil be richer and more retarded than if it was tuned properly. Rich and Retarded is a little safer on the engine. Well, the richer part certainly is. Retarded can be less safe sometimes. But I digress. Yes, for 15 years after the release of the R32 GTR people would simply pull that restrictor out and just drive it round. No problem.

So I think I took the right line off and looked in the hose and can't see anything, how far down will it be? I'll upload a pic maybe to make sure I have the right hose. Maybe previous owner already removed it

The boost gauge just goes to the top 7+

On a side note/question I started my car this arvo after being parked for 1 hour maybe and it just stalled then I started it again and the idle was

Real rough like it was going to stall but I kept the revs up a bit, this has also happened once before any ideas what it may be?

Once driving its fine both times have been on startup

Hmm could be a loose earth or even dirty AFM

Is there any particular mods like a vent to atmo BOV

The only way a bov would effect the car on idle would be a seriously rooted spring, and the problem would a hell of a lot more noticeable during boost, in for form of no boost.

Did the splutter only happen after stalling? Or does it just randomly happen on startup?

Yer it is randomly on startup, it stalled then when I started it again it spluttered a bit and started dropping revs but I gave some aceleration to bring the revs up for a couple of seconds then it was ok held fine on idle

factory bovs are slightly open at idle due to the manifold vacuum acting on them,(and don't leak under boost) so I would assume some after market bovs could be the same.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
