[RB30 balancer bolt RFT]

I've done more research. The torque specs given by Nissan for the RB26 match that of a grade 12.9 M18 x 1.5 bolt. Assuming that Nissan used the same grade on the RB25 & 30, the torque range for a M16 x 1.5 bolt is 300 - 380nm depending on the surface friction coefficient. I used ARP lube which changes the  coefficient even more. I've ordered an ARP bolt and will follow their recommendations. I've had a balancer come loose before and don't want a repeat.

Thanks for the advise.

what arp bolt are u ordering the rb26 one ?? have u re tapped the 30 crank ??

Are you trying to tell if yours is safe going off the stock gauges?

If so, get a proper gauge. The factory ones are a known weak point. If the red light comes on you can trust that but no one really trusts the needle. Most GTR's that are built, will have an aftermarket oil pressure gauge in the cabin

Yea i have an aftermarket gauge in and it reads 22psi when hot on idle just wondering if thats good????

thanks in advance!!!!!!

[Help With R32 Gtr Boost Problem New Here!]

my guess is your knock sensor is broken, your engine doesent need to be knocking, but also sometimes the knock sensor if too loose or too tight, will give incorrect readings.

you can test if your knock sensor is working or not, grab a wrench, and when your engine is idle, hit your engine block close to the knock sensor, you should feel your rpm drop or go higher etc. if that doesent work, do the same thing again, but when reving at about 2,5-3k rpm. if nothing happends, you could have a defective knock sensor

hopefully that will help

[Help With R32 Gtr Boost Problem New Here!]

hi all

im new here and have owned a r32 gtr for almost a year now and Love IT!!! i live in new zealand and dont really know anyone who can actually help me so thought someone here can being such a awesome site in all.So the mods done are very little which are catback exhaust,apexi pods with adapters,and removal of the boost restrictor now running 1 bar thats it.The problem im having is i'll start my car up let it idle warm then drive,now when driving for the first 10mins it'll run awesome hitting 1 bar exactly on my apexi boost gauge and holding,but after a few times of putting my foot down and running mint it will all of a sudden it will only boost .7 bar and no more and sorta feels like your driving with the handbrake on.It will boost 1 bar again the next day i drive it but always only for the first few putting the foot downs then back to .7bar which sucks.So i did the self diagnostics on the ecu and it gave me the flash code 34 which is the Knock Sensor code.So i rang nissan and said to the mechanic what the code was and he said that i need new knock sensors and that it doesnt mean my engines knocking ??? but it doesnt sound right i thought that code meant that your sensors are picking up knock so the ecu is cutting boost??? Ive tried new afms,a chipped ecu,new spark plugs gapped to .7mm. also with no result.its weird cos it doesnt blow smoke doesnt make any apperant knocking sounds by ear anyway idles and runs good and has good oil presure etc I cant figure it out

thanks in advance anyone who replies
