had same problem with slide performance stage 3 hiflow

swapped for hks gtrs and holds boost perfectly at 1.4 bar

everything else was identical , exhaust , intake etc

i personally suspect turbine housing but I am no expert

Have you got any dyno charts?

Well guys, i tried that intake pipe mod, but as i was connecting the airfilter+afm back, i realised it was bending abit much so im sure the airflow is restricting. im gonna get back into it, and cut off abit more of the steel pipe i put between the intake pipe, hopefully sometime during this week, or the weekend. there was still some boost drop (reading off the boost gauge). my mate decided that we'd replace the blitz bov while we were still in the engine bay, so we put in the stockie, and piped it back plumback style, and for the first time it seems, boost is holding at about 1.1 bar or just over 16psi! This is my mate observing the boost gauge.. So first ill fix up the intake pipe, and then ill throw it on the dyno, and see if were progressing or not. Ill keep you guys posted.

Looks like ive solved the problem boys!! i swapped over the 13cm steel pipe i had in my intake pipe, with a 10cm one, and it sat perfectly, though slightly smaller than standard. so after eliminating the bend i had with the 13cm pipe, my car is boosting way better. im hitting 1.5bar(22psi) which is then backing off to 1.2bar(17.64psi). seems like its spiking... it'll be goin on the dyno hopefully on the weekend.

will keep you posted...

zero traction in 1st and 2nd :nyaanyaa:

nice....

looks like i spoke too soon.... car went on the dyno this afternoon, and its still dropping boost. in fact according to the dynograph, there isnt any change from before at all! ive ruled my blitz boost gauge as faulty... a few people reckon it might be the boost controller, so with the less expensive options knocked out of the way, my next move is to go electronic on the boost controller.. spin out!! :P

btw, a friend was saying that by upping the gain through an electronic boost controller, youre causing stress on the turbo.. any insight on the matter???

Yep clone situation of what happened to my car, the dyno never lies :P The boost controller won't fix it either, trust me I've been down this path and spent enough money on the folly. It always comes back to the same conclusion....GT-RS is the way to go.

For all those interested, i finally got my AVCR installed 2day. produced 261.1rwkw on a dyno dynamics. held 18psi throughout. ill be leaning it out abit in a few weeks, as it is a tad bit too rich for my liking.

BUT, the boost controller fixed the prob.

666DAN: what kind of boost controller u got there bro?

I was using a Profec B-Spec II, I also used and HKS actuator, the stock actuator, an RB20 actuator and a combination of boost controller and all the actuators. I also ran with *NO* actuator and still got a ceiling of around 16psi and boost drop-off.

hmm profec b, the boys at Unique autosports patched in one of those in the midst of my boost problems... even though it held the boost better, there was still significant boost drop. the avcr on the other hand worked the treat. you can increase the duty according to rpm, and throughout each gear. also has a self-learn process, so itll adjust better as you drive. might wanna try out the avcr. my 2c..

Yep just bought one, worth it just to see if I can get some sort of improvement before I shell out on something more expensive (GTRS) I like the fact is has graphing and 60sec recall....I'm a whore for features like that :P

      Turn signal wiring question

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.

      Speedo and odometer reading super slow r34gtt a/t

      By VicFlo · Posted

      HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA.

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)

      Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
