R34GTX

Thanks for the huge response guys. You would not believe just how frustrating and depressing it is when your car is not running well. Just to clear up and clarify a few points. 1. Car used to run sweet at 12psi after zorst upgrade, but this was before timing was adjusted. (NO SPIKING) Just a solid 12psi. Car was 100% stock when imported. One owner with log books. 2. The car appears to go into a type of "limp mode" where boost is dropped to 7psi, but I still have the full use of the rev range. Is this what is referred to as R&R??? 3. If my problem is R&R, how do I go about dropping my boost safely? Is hose restricting a safe and permanent method? 4. Was mentioned SAFC. This will still keep my boost at 12psi. How will this effect reliability with upcoming track days? Possible turbo blow up?? 5. Would dropping my boost down to 10psi (method yet to be determined) stop this phenomenon from occuring? 6. Will an EBC get my boost down? Thanks for being so helpful guys. Heaps of really good info here!!!!!

My muffler is already a twin tip Magnaflow, but it is still 3" straight through. I am not keen on changing mufflers as it cost me a mint. I have heard people saying that maybe I could change the spring tension in the wastegate?? Any ideas?? Links = I already tried the $30 boost controller. The problem did go away, however, I think the only reason it did go away was due to the boost controller bypassing the duty boost solenoid. I have been told this is only a bandaid fix, and it may infact cause the car more damage as the car cannot impliment it's safeguards.

Hi guys. Quick review. Stock as a rock 2001 R34GTT Tiptronic Sedan. Only engine mods CES 3" Turbo Back exhaust with Split Dump HPC coated, hiflow cat and Twin tip muffler. Also has a K&N Panel Filter. Before zorst upgrade, car ran stock boost, about 7psi. After zorst upgrade, car runs 12psi. Car seem to run perfectly fine. No spikes in boost or loss of boost, irrespective of my driving style. Okay, now for the problem. Had the car in for a 80K service. (reputable company I shall leave unnamed for now) He said the timing was out by almost 10deg. So he adjusted appropriately. Driving home, boosted a few times, then the car dropped boost and ended up running 7psi. Restart the car, back to 12psi, then boosted a few times and bam back to 7psi. Have been back to the mechanics a few times, but they are struggling to find the fault. No ECU faults showing, however they are getting an ABS/TCS computer fault showing up. Error code 58 from memory. He seems to think it is something to do with throttle/valve control?? However even after clearing this error code, the problem still reoccured but this time without the error code. My personal thoughts are that the boost is running too high for stock ECU and thus causing the car to go into a type of limp mode. My question is, how the hell do I wind back boost when the stock boost after zorst upgrade is sitting at 12psi?? I want to get back to around 10psi. I have tried turbosmart boost controller, but all that did was take the solenoid out of the equation and still left the boost at 12psi. Any suggestion or thoughts are very much appreciated. Sorry about the epic story!!

CHECK YOR PM!!

Bumped and bumped!!!

Where are you located? Also, do you have any close up pics of each rim and do you have any pics of the wheels on a car? PM SENT ALSO!

Sad news indeed. Life is so precious. Cherish every moment. Condolences to his family

I got one!!

Yeah, thought wiring off the battery might not have been a good idea as it would then be pulling power 24 hours a day from the battery. But what got me thinking was not knowing what the maximum whats you can pull through your auxilery switch (ignition) wiring. Anyone else had experience with poor reception and boosters and for that matter the JVD KD-DV6150? Cheers Pete

Hi guys and gals. Just installed my new JVC-KD6150 into my car (2001 R34GTT). All went well except for the very bad radio reception. Now I did a search and found that you can buy a booster to amplify the signal for reception which I did. Now I have 2 questions: 1. The booster requires 12Volts supply, so I have wired it to the Accessory Wire so it will turn on the same time as the headunit does. Is this the correct way to connect or should I have wired it to the 12Volt direct feed from battery? 2. I also read on a thread that the JVC Headunit may possibly have a stock signal booster built into it and that it could be powered up via the remote (blue) wire. Any truth to this? Otherwise the JVC unit works well and I get reasonable reception of most FM radio stations living almost 60km from the city. Cheers and thanks in advance. Peter

Hi all. As the topic says, Good condition Nismo or Trust SMIC to suit R34 GTT. Preferrably greater than 100mm thick. Prepared to pay good dollars for a decent example. Possible spotters fee if the right one comes along. Cheers

I would be happy to buy the Xenon's with some cash adjustment if all else fails. Cheers

No sorry. However I am chasing a SMIC (Something bigger than stock R34 maybe Trust, Nismo) with some cash exchange. Thanks for your interest. Cheers
