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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
