    I also asked Matt Hutchens the question and this was his response:

     

    "Mike, the air chamber is what supplies air to the balance tube above the throttles. It has a main tube that pulls from the plenum, and two tubes that run up into the balance tube. In addition to that, it also "sees" manifold vacuum and has a couple of nice 6mm hose outlets for gauges, etc. "

    Thanks very much Matt for explaining all that. I need to run a line for my Turbo gauge, would one of these 6mm hose outlets be appropriate for the gauge?

    "Yep. That or you can use the small one coming off the back of the balance tube."

    I read somewhere the following:

    "use either the brass plug near where the brake booster connects, or the small line that runs off to the map sensor on the right inner guard near the brake booster.

    Do not tap into the hose that runs from the inlet manifold to the fuel pressure regulator, r the waste gate supply line. If you lose pressure in these two lines you risk killing your engine"

    Stroker from all the research I have done, people I have spoken to, I'm sure Mat Hutchens as well - they all say as close to the intake as possible, ie between the intercooler and the Collector (passenger side for you). A guy here who has built heaps of GTRs and races them mounts his now under the Collector, so it cant be seen and has them free to atmosphere. I have mounted mine on top of the Collector and recirculated it, only again due to local Licencing requirements here, that dont allow free to atmo.

    The biggest problem that I've encountered in this build is reconnecting vacuum lines and wiring. - Agree!!

     

    -I don't have the vacuum line charcoal canister so how do I hook these lines up, to and from the canister? One comes from the AAC valve? and the other? Do I need the canister? - no, only for licensing - as I have to take the car in to get it certified, I have dummied this up

     

    I don't use the stock fuel rail so should I just cap off the vacuum line at the front of the balance tube that used to go to the stock fuel regulator? I would cap off anything you dont now have to use

     

    For the map sensors with the D Jetro you drill into the balance tube, should be on my website, if not I will send you a picture

     

     

    Any help that I can get with diagrams or photos would help although I'm sure that I've looked at all of the available diagrams to no avail.

     

    There is a much better diagram (than the one you have attached) from the R33 GTR manual of where all the lines go. My laptop is busted, once I get that back tomorrow I will put up the better diagram, which tells you which goes to which

    I found this photo on another thread where someone was trying to identify the hose and it's destination. Anyone know where the where the line with the question mark off the air chamber goes? The other tow are the boost solenoid connections. Someone has to know?

     

    I think that might go down to the 4 wd sump/gearbox bits

     

    I am going through the same thing at the moment, I will try and photograph what w have done with mine

    Hi Dave I dont know about others but I would appreciate it as I will do the same with my "T". If you dont want to do it on the site, could you send it to my email address mike@bluevista.net.au

    Can you also explain what the vinyl is and where you get it from and apply it etc?

    Appreciate your help

     

    regards

     

    PS where are you in the UK as we will be over there agin in the next year or two, would be great to have a look at your car, & likewise if you are ever in WA

    Here you go Mike i did not like the original RB Coil Cover plate so i made my own up.

     

    Dave that looks sensational!

    I dont know if you have looked at my website, but I was going to name mine a Fairlady 422T as a spin off of the Fairlady 432 (4 Valves/cylinder, 3 carbie, 2 cams) except mine would be 2 turbos!

    I made up some labels for the cam cover like you, but when in Manila earlier this year I bought some plastic chrome letters that I was going to use on the body. However what you have done is sensational. Did you have the letters cut from metal and glued on to the cam cover or are they plastic chrome letters as well?
