Did you do NSW Dutton in that year a few years ago?

No, Just opens up at a set pressure eg 1.2 bar the valve opens so manifold pressure cant go any higher, no you dont have to have a wastegate but its a good idea to run them to stop the turbo over speeding.

The Production race cars like duncans run them as a requirement so they cant run more than the factory boost pressure.

Nizpro used to just run a pop-off valve setup and no wastegate back in the early VL turbo days, with success.

No because the full force of exhaust gas is running through the turbine, and with minimal restriction on the comp wheel, than the turbo will spin way harder than what it needs to for the required manifold pressure.

It may help minimize spool time if you had lazy internal gates, external gate will be no different untill the gate opens

Sorry that does not make sense to me, if there is less air there is less spark,less ex gases?

the point of it is to stop to much boost not to decrease power.

if your car runs on 8 apples. the turbo spools up to 8 apples then it finds that A) the waste gate wont let enough apples past or B ) you have restricted boost for a comp.

in point A the turbo keeps spooling to 10 apples and pop goes the engine or you add in a pop off valve and it lets 2 apples out keeping the manifold pressure at 8 apples. its not designed to let 10 apples out of the system only a few so it just regulates the boost.

with only 8 apples in the system the turbo still trys to produce more but it can because they are being let out.

hope that helps but its realy a question for the forced induction party not the show us your racing machines people.

My r34 at yesterday's track day.

Had my ass handed to me by a pack of evo's. 6th in class D, out of 8 cars. If only having the prettiest car took seconds off your lap time....

Wow, what refreshing honesty! Nice post mate :)

Very very nice looking car too!

'course it's nice! it's my old car. ;) ;)

man you are looking after her mate. it looks stunning. :) and yes way better looking than any poxy lancer.

Those crappy Falken Azeni's you are running aren't helping your cause. If funds allow, try to get some newA050's or even RE55's under that R34 and look out EVO's!!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
