Hi

Lately ive been feeling that my car is alot slower then when i first began to drive it. Now theres 2 things that could be due to this

1. Im used to the car so it feels slower

2.Compliance bastards tooks somethin off my car i didnt know about and didnt put it back on.

Im not sure what to think but really the car doesnt feel very impressive. What wer all ur opinions when u guys first got ur cars (namely R33 GTST). The mods on the car are full exhaust system, HKS airpod and HKS BOV. No boost mods etc.

Is it possible that i have a boost leak or somethin like that? Im graspin at straws here and its really buggin me cos the car really doesnt feel too good. Im upset : (

Any help appreciated.

Thanks, Dean

hah yup the initial bug does wear off alittle, thats when you flick the switch to 12psi and start the fun all over again.

As someone above suggestion grab a boost gauge and just make sure everything is still the same.

Or go for a ride as a passenger in someone elses GTS-T and you will realise how damn quick they still are :eek:

hey guys, i just joined this forum and i think its mad. ]

i just recently purchased a series II 97 gtst (actually im getting it tomorow or tuesday). i agree, i have driven the car about 3 times, and every time i drive it, it seems slower. i think we are just trippin. As i am a newby to skylines ive gathered a boost gauge will measure the amount of boost (psi??) in the turbo? is this right? cause i feel that my car (or soon to be) is lagging a bit. the only mods are hks intercooler (front piping and shit) and HKS air filter. should this boost my car a bit? should i reset the ecu? is it good for the car and wat does it do???

Cheers

you should hear a slight tick at normal revs if it is there you would know also if you put ur hand over the exhaust and block the exhaust fully and if the engine stalls , NO Leak if it continues to run mmmmmm big leak, also you can tell by checking ur boost gauge if it reads below 7psi at full power you've got a big leak, if so expect to pay about $600 fitted get 2nd hand manifold don't pay more than $180 good luck

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
