what do u mean by that?

If its open, venting constantly. Its near impossible for the turbo to generate any form of boost.

Not sure if its possible as there most likely wouldn't be enough exhaust gas to spin the turbo to such a speed.

I had the same problem with my car. Just got it fixed. It was the exhaust manifold gasket was leaking. put new gasket on it and back to normal. maybe a little better.

I'd say the only possible things here are:

1. Waste gate acuator is either busted, or the little rod has come off the knob - no i'm not joking.

2. turbo is blown

3. intake problem - intake piping has either come off, or one of the silicon hoses has split into 2 pieces or something.

bov won't cause you no boost

      R34 GT-R Positive Battery Cable Routing

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT. I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors? How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis? Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.

      R34 squeaking sound from passenger front area

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Stock less likely to carry one like that than urethane, but still can, especially if the bolts are not as tight as they should be. If it's making that much noise you should be able to use a hose as a stethoscope> stick one end in your ear, crouch down and wave it around the various possible noise makers and get someone to lift the front end at the guard lip.

      Broken actuator rod. Could be one of a couple of them broken. Or, it's locked and the central locking actuator is broken/stuck or the actuator rods between it, the lock and the key barrel are jammed or broken similarly. You'll probably need a locksmith/mechanic who is experienced with using slim tools to reach down next to the window glass to manipulate the mechanism. That's assuming that it is not so severely jammed/broken that nothing useful will move.
