Gtr Boost Leak!?!? Ideas?

Hi All

Well. I'm scratching my head a bit over this one, my normally reliable and strong R32 GTR is having some major issues ATM.

After installing a bigger (ARC) I/C and HKS cam gears my car has developed some weird boost issue. I hardly drive this car, and after making the changes discoverd it had developed a nasty boost related (I think) issue.

It started up ok, but seemed a bit slow to bring the RPM up to the usual 1000rpm - took a few seconds, but I thought nothing of it seeing as it hadn't been driven in some time.

Anyhow, after warm up, I trundle out onto the road and find it seems reluctant to rev and didn't want to boost..... (this was about 1/4 throttle max!). after getting it up into the higher gears (80km/h) the BOV's start singing their own little song of open close, open close and constantly... no changes in throttle position...

Normally this thing makes a comfortable 280rwkw (GT2530's), so is not slow - but I'm a bit perplexed as to what has occured...

I have refitted the stock I/C - No change

Double checked the timing - 20deg (factory) - thinking of throwing the stock cam wheels back on, but I think it is highly unlikely this is the cause)

checked all the conections - all ok

Initially thought is was a boost leak, but none found

another thing I have noticed is that after going up the driveway (500m) onto the road (500m) and back with no more than 1/4 throttle the turbos seem to be VERY hot (the water boils in the water feed...)

Any ideas?

Only thing I can think of is perhaps something was in the outlet end tank and is not stuck in the plenum...?

Cheers

Dan

Same thing happened to mine a while back. Now if I could just remember what the hell it was realted to, something simple though, like the wrong hose hooked up to EBC or intercooler hose leaking off boost & PowerFC overcompensating.

If the BOV is going off like a steam train it's the same thing I had & it would bunny hop. Sorry I can't be much more help but I know who can - call Jim (?) at SAS - Silverwater Automotive Service - he'll tell you straightaway. Like I said it's something fairly simple, I was speaking with him about this the other day.

Sounds similar - I'll be checking all my hoses today, has to be simple as it was fine before... (BOV's worked without issue before...)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
