Hey guys. Trying to find out where the original boost solenoid cable is on my r32. It was a hcr32 but I have put in a rb26 with a single turbo . The loom was supposed to be from a 32 GTR but I can't find the 2 pin cable anywhere on it! No signs of anything being cut off either! Only have a spare 3 pin cable coming from roughly where it should be! Any ideas as I am stumped!!

Yeah I replaced the stock GTS loom with what I was told was a R32 gtr loom so should have that t shape plug. But there is nothing there! Not even any cut ends or anything! Rather confused. 

Has anyone for a wire diagram for where it should be and what part of the harness so I can have a closer look to see if it's been removed or is missing or anything?

 This 3 pin looks like it's coming from the same place that the cable it should be does and us about the correct length but a gtr ones are 2 pin I believe... Only thing I can think of is it's not a 32gtr loom... But if it's not then what is it? And surly it wouldn't be working in my car?

The boost control cable for GTRs isn't part of the engine loom. It's part of the loom that runs on the driver's side.

I guess we are probably getting to the real question now.

PFC does not do boost control directly. You need to buy the boost control adapter, and a solenoid, and wire the 2 together anyway.

Yes. I have the boost controller add on for it. That's what I'm trying to fit! It has the t shape plug on that plugs into where the factory boost solenoid would be but I'm missing that. That's the issue I'm having.

There's 2 pins on the factory connector for the solenoid - look em up and hook into them. You also have to run cable anyway (3 cores) for the Apexi MAP sensor which plugs into a different specific connector, so run another pair at the same time.

I know there is! What I am saying is I do not have that connector on my loom! The map sensor is already run as I have a d jetro.

No, you have to run a separate MAP sensor on Power FC purely for the boost control side mate, the boost control does not use the engine load MAPs which are tapped into the 2 X AFM signal wires. So on a GTR d Jetro you end up having three Apexi MAP sensors on an RB26.

There's more than one way to join 2 wires together.

Just take the plug off the Apexi loom and replace with a plug & socket from Jaycar. Other side of which you attach to the solenoid.

I don't have any 2 pin wire there to do that! That's the problem. The gts doesn't have the same boost solenoid as the gtr. Has one over by the turbo. But as that loom as been changed for the gtr along with the battery connector loom I don't have that either. All there is is that 3 pin cable where the correct 2 pin should be!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
