ok cool ill get stuck into it 2morrow when ive got some decent light nd ill snap a pic of the hose 2, thanks for your advice bud i really appreciate it

as for cat being blocked i honestly wouldnt know how to tell mate lol

sorry mate was just out in the garage messing with it, i wish i wasnt such a noob when it comes to all this haha, yeah its the stock rubber intake, just noticed a split in the small rubber pipe which i think is a vaccuum hose on top of the engine? dont have a boost gauge and the stock gauge on the dash just constantly says zero it doesnt move, and yes stock ecu i think, i really need to just take it to someone who knows skylines back to front and can give it the whole once over so i know what im dealing with, didnt get any info when i bought it only mods i was only able to work out were that it was lowered and it had 3 inch exaust and turbo timer, if there are any more mods, i dont know about them lol

1000 bucks down the drain, oil line cleared, checked flow all good, new 10w 60 oil, i just dont get it, dont have boost controller so have no idea how much boost im running but hi flow can handle 18+ psi so cant be 2 much boost, wtf, no leaks no smoke no nothing still has a great note to it but u put your foot down and it just creeps up to speed with no boost, i love this car but far out it really annoying me, how can it go so good everytime i put a new turbo on then gradually it just starts to die in the arse???

omg dude im over it

it went soooo good after i put the hi flow on, now, 2 days later, it made a weird wizzing gridy noise a few times in second gear as it was coming on boost then went from 100% power to about 75% still with boost now its at about 50% and no boost, but not making the same constant noise it made last time i blew turbo, im so confused, how can i blow 3 turbos in a week, wtf mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

peace of mind is always good lol ha ha somehow i think i got a bargain with that 2 mate he didnt want to part with it

yeah was def a bargain just had slight rear end damage, not scared to spend some coin on it i know i will make my money back. not to fussed on getting big power, or even converting it to manual, i suppose my only question should have been "what can i expect from my ride simply by changing stock r33 turbo to a high flowed r34 turbo?"

was thinking that angryrb lol only paid $2200 for it

will i notice a difference with just the hi flowed r34 turbo compared to the stock r33 one?

upgrades being afm injectors and ecu?

so i just bought an r34 hi flowed turbo for my 98 40th anniversary edition r33 gtst, i have 3 inch exaust all the way thru and turbo timer, thats it, stock as ma socks, oh and its automatic lol, what can i expect? been told i dont need any upgrades other then boost controller to pump it up to 18psi and i can get 260kw at the wheels?? does it really need new ecu and injectors or can the stock ones handle it? am i likely to run into problems cos several sources say they r running 20 to 22psi with everything stock with no dramas at all but im sceptical, im also led to believe that the skyline motors were all detuned so they could be sold here in australia, is this true? what is the real stock power of a japanese rb25 that hasnt been detuned for our roads? does this mean all the stock gear such as cooler and auto gearbox can handle a potential 400 horses with just a tune to get the engine back to its true stock form?? incase u cant tell, i am a bit of a skyline noob also does the fact that its an auto take anything away from performance other than the fact that i have less control of gear changes in the rev range, one mate thinks it will be quicker and better to drift but once again, im sceptical . . . should i be thinking manual conversion?

its making the same grinding kinda noise it made when i blew turbo the first time, but why did it blow another turbo 2 days after install? it was running perfect, its gotta be an oil issue yeah? blocked line? dirty oil? noise is definitely coming from turbo, sounds like metal on metal like there is no lubrication, should i have done oil change whilst changing the turbo instead of just topping up coolant?

bought the car, 1998 R33 gtst 40th anniversary series 2 or 3 i dont know, debatable, anyways, drove for a month, no dramas, one day lose boost and power so crawl 2km home whilst making ungodly bloody grinding noise, figured i blew turbo, so, bought a stock r34 turbo, installed it, topped up water and it was back to its old beastly self, infact running and sounding brilliant, so i kinda guessed problem solved right? wrong!! 2 days later, same situation, just putting along, not giving it balls, all of a sudden, loses boost and power again, same as before, did i do something wrong?? is there a blockage in the oil line? was it just a crappy used turbo at the end of its life?? split hoses have been replaced i dont know what else to do, buy another turbo and blow out the engine line with an air compressor?? kinda stumped any advice would be ace, cheers
