I have an R33 GTS-t Series 1. It originally had an aspirated RB25 swapped into it for P Plater laws, 2 years into owning it I then reimplanted a S2 RB25det. All is sweet, only when I disconnect the brake booster to intake manifold hose. If that is connected, it makes a screaming sound, as if the brake booster could only handle atmospheric pressure, not the pressure of a turbo. What are my solutions here so i can still have safe, working brakes and the full 7pounds of boost?

basically all working properly the booster should never see boost as stated above there is ment to be a one way valve in the line, if the booster actually sees boost the brakes wont work well at all. check the one way valve to ensure it works, and also make sure the booster isnt stuffed and leaking,
as above where is the screaming noise actually comming from and when does it do it, idle, driving, only on boost ?

I have bolted off the hoses so there is no leak. There is no valve what so ever between manifold and brake booster inlet. Will go search around for one, thanks guys.

No need for an extra valve, the vacuum hose connection at the booster has the non return valve incorporated.

Are you sure the booster was OK prior to the transplant?

not really and easy enough to loose when people swap engines around, unlike alot of other cars the one way valve isnt actually the connection on the booster, yet a little upstream, heres a pic i stole from another sau thread to show it post-132-0-75931100-1371380173.jpg

its the little valve just behind the cap for the master,

however pushing boost into the booster may have damaged it to yet you will find that out when you fit a one way valve

A few years back when I was a red P Plater I switched all the hoses to blue silicon ones. I had almost switched all the silicon hoses back to the genuine black ones except the hose from the brake booster to the intake. I went out into my parts bin, found the original hose (noticed it has a built in valve that the aftermarket ones didn't) and now it's working perfectly. Full boost and brakes! Thanks for the help though, would've had no clue otherwise. Summary is NA pressure doesnt require the valve, turbo does.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
