Hi guyz'n'Galz

there is actually an after market soleniod on my car that was set up by my mechanic but it was 2nd hand and i'm pretty sure its stuffed and its spiking and overfueling the car and backfiring i want 2 set the old solenoid back up and just run @ a high boost all the time

something i did that allowed me to run 11 psi constantly was to bypass the standard actuator, run a hose from the turbo actuator to the inlet pipe and put a "T" piece between that hose venting to atmosphere. with the other small hose that would join the stock boost solinoid i just blocked with a bigg ass screw. all this does is change the pressure, so the wastegate opens later rather than earlier. it sounds tricky but really is simple.

I'd show you a photo, but my car got pinched so all ican do is try to explain it.

If your car is backfiring and overfueling, id suggest you take it to nissan and get them to run a diagnostic on the computer and see if that shows up what could be the problem. I had a similer problem and Nissan did that test and i had a faulty Knock sensor. once that was repaired the car ran sensationally...

    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 馃構 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
    • This. They would need some tricky maneouvering to keep the income out of the country (the US). Which isn't helpful if that's where you want the income to end up.
