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?

He did say it has a 32 GTR loom in it...

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!

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
