i jus installed an fmic and a boost controller, my car i an r32 gtst, with rb20det, standard injectors and pump, done 89,000 km's and the engine has been perfect for me besides having to change my fuel filter, but something strange is happening now since i put in my boost controller, was running fine on 12psi before it put it in, and with only and extra 1/2 psi it startes to wind slowly, then it clicks and then the power punches in, some times it feels like its not getting enough fuel too, jus wandering whether my pump cant handle the power or if its just out of tune, i plan on puttin in a walkbro pump asap, any other idea's?

What sort of boost controller?

Drop the boost back to 12psi and see if the car runs as it used to. If not then try removing the controller temporarily and see if it runs properly.

Just a couple of ideas before you spend the cash on a dyno run.

Is it spiking? It could be spiking causing a lean condition, resulting in the flat then kick feeling.

Thats if I've interpereted your post correctly.

EDIT: I still suspect the std pump is on its last legs. Being 10+yrs old and all.

At around 80,000km's my std pump was right on the limit at 12psi.

If you can find a cheap $35 power run then do it.. I wouldn't be spending $80 on a simple 1 minute power run. :)

That $80 can be better spent on a new pump, as after all... if you are like the majority, we all get the bug, end up dialing more boost, ecu, injectors turbo.. Money permitting of coarse.

I've managed almost 10k worth of mods in the last 2.5years while I've been studying full time at Uni. :P

6k was spent silly as I didn't 'really' need the rb30det as the rb20det was perfectly fine. lol

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
