Have tried to search mutliple sites for any answers on the following question, but all came up negative :)

Anyways, purchased a dual stage boost controller second hand, it just included the controller and no other wiring of T piece, but i have hooked it all up and included the rocket switch in my cabin and changed all the two dials (turned them up all the way) and i still cannot change my boost setting.

Will include some pics of my setup later tonite but just wondering if anyone has installed one of these and have had this successfully working as i cant seem to get it to work at all

Basically i have hooked up cut the vacuum hose between the nipple of the inlet pipe coming off the cooler and the hose connecting to the acutator. (this is the only hose i can find) and put a plastic T piece in there and run that to the boost controller.

The boost controller only has one nipple so that i can put a hose onto it, which seems strange.

I can only think of a couple of things that could be incorrect.

a) Hoses are incorrect somehow.

B) The plastic T piece is incorrect (The turbosmart one has a arrow on it and could have a restrictor inside maybe).

c) ......

The boost controller works fine cause when touching the wires together on the rocket switch it will click on and off so i know this works fine.

But can anyone help me with the setup on this.

dude! I dont know how much of a help ill be with this but I had a dual stage with a similar prob on my 34 - didnt seem to have any boost but occasionally if I flattened it the boost would kick in (wasnt stable though)

Turned out there was 3 hoses going to the stock one - the actuator part was ok but there was another hose (dont know which one sorry) that was connected that shouldnt have been, and it wasnt blocked off when it should have been.. a mate looked at it for 2 secs and connected the other one, blocked the unused one off and it was perfect after that??

dunno if its any help? sorry if it isnt!!!!

You need the T-peice.It has a small hole in it which you need so when you bleed off the air to raise boost.That T-peice is also gated for faster spool up.I had major spike probs with my single stage!!

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
