[Dude, Where's My Boost?]

I had the hose from boost gauge sensor to plenum split the other day. And wasn't showing boost on stock gauge. But I could defiantly hear something was not right as you could hear what sounded like a vacuum cleaner was in my engine bay when idling. Huge air leak.

did it still boost normally, but just not show on the boost gauge?

or do you think it wasn't boosting as normal?

sounds like exactly the issue i had, and only found recently, lol

[Dude, Where's My Boost?]

UPDATE

i may have solved the problem, after just ignoring it the last few years, lol

is the attached pic the boost gauge sensor?

i found the hose had split at the end where it was connected to the sensor

so i cut the tip of the hose off, and reconnected it

before this, the boost gauge would read ~ 0 whether you were idling or giving it stick

now, it is reading almost -7 @ idle, and between half and +7 on boost

that seems better, right???

i also changed oil, oil filter, fuel filter, O2 sensor and air filter at the same time

seems to be running good now.

could that leaky hose have caused the problems described above (i.e. no boost)?

or was the car still boosting, and the gauge just not showing the right boost?

cheers all

[How Many Kms Has Your Stagea Done?]

99 RS Four S

genuinely wound back 96,xxx kms

i'd guess it'd actually be around 150k or there abouts

[Tyres]

i got KU31's in 225/45/17 on stock RS4S rims in Sydney for $540 fitted and balanced

you guys get ripped in Tassie!

[Very High Fuel Consumption?]

i thought my fuel consumption was high at ~ 13-14L/100km for a stock RS Four S turbo

i've been meaning to change O2 sensor but haven't got around to it yet . . .

[C34 Series 2 Xenon Headlights]

[Sa: 1997 Nissan Stagea Rs4]

[Wtb: C34 Rs4S Rims]

Bump!!

Also there is a difference between standard C34 rims and RS4S rims.. I'm not after the standard C34 ones

stock C34 are a 16" open spoke design

RS4S are a 17" solid 6 spoke design (and are much better!)

[Eoi: Om.350]

anyone know if the internal back seat dimensions are the same as a C34?

i can fit 3 car seats across the back of my C34, and this would be a deal breaker for me

still semi tempted, but my idea of a lowball offer might offend

PS - i already own a Caldina too

might also be the switch itself, even then that's a cheap and simple fix

[Bonnet Strut Part Numbers]

I needed to get the Cima boot redone this morning so I got a mobile guy out to regas them.

He quoted $99 front or rear to replace or regas the stagea ones as well.

So if you need fronts, go to ebay, if you need rears in Sydney

[Bonnet Strut Part Numbers]

I bought some maxi ones from ebay last week these ones:

fitted perfectly and work perfectly almost identical except for the plastic casings on the end.

sweet, thanks for that

might grab those ones, as it looks like they have the metal ends on them, whereas the others i listed above don't

cheers mate

[Nissan Elgrand - Have You Driven One?]

Massive thred bump but how is the Elgrand going? I'm looking at an E51.

also toying with the idea of selling my RS Four S and getting an E51

[Bonnet Strut Part Numbers]

No need to replace them, mobile regassing guys can just regas what you have already.

cool, might try and get some quotes

any rough idea on prices?

cheers
