hey guys, had my 97 stagea for about a week now and it runs pretty sweet, its got a FMI, 3inch stainless exhaust, vg30 turbo, pod filter with fabricated heat sheild, only an auto but you can't win them all.

The guy i bought it of told me there was a boost cut off at around half a bar or 7 psi, it has a boost conrtol valve but theres no difference when turning it up, Is it a boost control valve problem or more of a fuel cut program in the ECU.

Any help?

cheers, i've attatched a pic, check it out let me know what you think. paid 16k

i think you better take the car in to a tuner who knows RB 26 engine well for him to check on it ASAP. dont try to save $$ on these things by trying to find the problem yourself. just to be on the safer side

there is not "boost cut" its just simply R&R.

My car does this mega violent thing though where it like, full on cuts out and shakes around. whats that cut?

You should able to fix that next week.

:laugh: cheers :P

PS; there is no such thing as boost cut. There is no map sensor connection to the ECU, so it has no idea what boost you are running. Even if it did, the ECU doesn't CUT anything. The ECU knows about ariflow (via the AFM) and when the airflow gets too high the ECU retards the ignition and adds some fuel. On SAU we call that Rich & Retard mapping (R&R for short). It is Nissan's strategy for protecting the engine.

ok, managed to swap the boost controller with the misses one off her 32, instant result, got it up to 14 pound and it puts you back in the seat.

u running 14psi without any aftermarket piggyback? ...i could only manage 8psi on the stock ecu before it went into r&r :laugh:

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
