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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
