So to say i'm not the most car cluey person around would be an understatement.

Just trying to add a manual boost controller/tee (GFB atomic thingo)

I understand it has to go imbetween the actuator but every other setup i've seen in threads/guides is different so i'm not keen on cutting and putting stuff in until i know 100%.

Bunch of pictures i took to help people out.

From what i've read that's my understanding, do i block the 3rd output of the current T that is there that goes from the canister thing to the TB and the actuator, use the actuator part and find a hot side output that's not the throttle body?

Use the actuator part of the below and find a hot side source that isn't the throttle body? Do i block the 3rd part of the current T?

Photos are not helping me. Is your RB20DET stock or has it had an electronic boost controller fitted? If its stock there should be a line going from a boost source to the actuator. Start at the actuator and work backwards to check. You will not be able to get less than 10psi in this case but you can get more. Cut that line and insert your manual boost T. The bleed or vent usually goes back into the intake via the bov return pipe but as you probably won't have any fittings you will have to improvise.

RB20s have a VERY short hose running from the fitting on the comp housing to the wastegate actuator. That hose is about 3" long.

That is the boost source at one end and the boost destination at the other. All boost controllers get fitted between those two points.

I reckon not being able to put on a boost controller is a waring sign that perhaps you shouldn't actually put one on.

Get someone who knows what they are doing (mate or workshop) to do it and set it up.

I appreciate your concern, but that is the exact reason i'm asking. It's not as clear cut as it was made out and from the ones i have looked at.

I understand i need a pressure hose from after the turbo to tell the boost tee how much pressure is going through and when to let the actuator open, the problem is none of the hoses i have found are of that nature, only ones i have go to the throttle body.

I'm asking this so I can potentially learn something and not have to pay for it.

The thing is, it is so easy that it isn't funny. There should never be any mention of "canister thing" and "TB" in discussion about where to connect to and from.

Apply brain, think about how it should work, then make it so.

Or, just google it. Been done 17 trillion times. And that's just this week.

Just thinking if it is a 25 turbo they don't have a port on the turbo for the actuator which i think removes the only port befor the throttle body and could be why the charcoal canister line has been tapped into, not the wright way to do it but could explain the trouble. Happy to be wrong though.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
