1. I have been told I can run 1 bar before I will get “boost cut”, is that OK?

2. My mate runs 12 psi and doesn’t get “boost cut” and I run 11 psi and get “boost cut”, why ?

3. Something is wrong with my engine I get “boost cut” at 10 psi ?

4. GTR’s don’t get "boost cut" until 1.1 bar, so why do GTST’s get "boost cut" at 11 psi ?

so instead of all those you will have the same questions, but with 'rich and retard mode' instead of 'boost cut'. no matter what term you use people will still keep asking the questions.

The problem is when someone is told it is a “boost cut” problem the first thing they think is there is some hard and fast boost limit that they can’t exceed

it is a limit that they can't exceed. on that particular car, whatever boost they are at when the r&r mode kicks in, that is the limit as to what they can run. sure they could run a higher boost, but it will cut out earlier. there is no way they can get around it without a fuel cut defender or an ecu upgrade.

also a lot of you make it sound like it just gets sluggish when it happens. it is a harsh stop in power. it is literally as if someone has turned the key off, then immediately turns it back on, and in my case results in wheelspin in the lower gears if i don't lift of the gas quick enough. then it keeps pulling up through the rev range about as hard as usual.

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for your help. So I guess it's a re-map for my friend. Much appreciated

R33’s can’t get REMAPS (easily)

and

is it a sudden stop start, or a flat spot where acceleration slows for a bit. if it is a sudden cut out then it is 'boost cut'. if it is just a slow spot then it could be the cams changing over. there is a thread on it somewhere on here, and how you can change when it does it slightly with an aftermarket ecu.

Maybe you missed it..

maybe you missed my inverted commas. also refering to it as boost cut isn't really any different to giving someone a nick name. if someones name is james and i call them jimmy, i'm not calling him the right name, but everyone would still know who i'm talking about.

That’s exactly the problem, think about this question;

I had the standard turbo at 10 psi with no “boost cut”, why do I get “boost cut” at 10 psi with my new (larger) turbo?

Well that’ because it’s not boost that is the problem, it is excessive airflow. The new (larger) turbo flows more air at 10 psi than the standard turbo. The only fix is an AFM voltage bender, rechip (if possible) or aftermarket ECU.

But everyone told me it was “boost cut”, so I spent all my money buying a new turbo to I could make more power at the same boost and not get “boost cut”. I don’t have any money left to buy an ECU…………..

Do a search I will bet you find 50 posts with exactly that problem of misunderstanding. Which is simply avoided by using the correct terminology.

:ermm: cheers :(

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
