Just went to autobarn and ordered one in. The bloke who sold it to me made a big mistake. I know where he lives. Hope the new one fixes the problem. If not I will be pissed off big time. After I got the old one to seal better and took it for a drive. It felt a lot more responsive.

That's good you sorted it out.

he may be in the same position you were in at the beginning, and have no idea it's a fake.

Bought second hand. But un used paid 350. Has all the turbosmart writing and emblem cast onto the main body

Saved $50, but was it worth the headache? :/

Those Chinese will copy anything... Poorly.

Well, tell Turbosmart. When i bought a replacement i grabbed two ... expecting it to fail again

Item Name/Code Qty Brief Description Rate Amount

TS-0501-3004 2 WG Valve Guide 'O' Ring $4.50 $9.00

Well replacement one fitted. Fixed the problem. The old one is different from the one I got today. Easy way to pick it it the size/tthickness of the flange. Chinese copy one is about 2 to 3mm thick and the real deal is 5mm. Pain in the arse as I have a Chinese flange welded on the exhaust housing for the gate. Have made a spacer to go in the v band to hold it properly.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
