Hi fellas, I recently got a tune for my R33 and noticed that the Turbosmart manual boost tee has been locked. The knob to increase the boost is locked tight. Not sure if it's broken or a lock feature has been activated? I got the older model.

Does anyone know how to unlock it?

Thanks in advance.

I believe there's a grub screw you can loosen up. 

Anyhow, invest in a decent EBC. Bleed valves aren't exactly precision instruments. 

Also shameless plug time, I also have a Blitz DSBC Dual Solenoid EBC for sale lol.

Thanks mate. I'm going to buy an EBC soon but for now, will run with this. 

How do I loosen the grub screw with what tools?

Given that u didn’t know what tool to use I would guess u don’t really know what to do so I would be leaving it alone.
Also if u got a tune why are u trying to adjust the boost now?

Thanks guys. 

I might leave it alone. The tuners blocked it off and I was cleaning up my engine bay a bit and noticed that the boost solenoid was blocked/locked. Will be upgrading to a EBC soon though.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
