Erik, if you are going to modify stuff [ie airfilter] do the dyno FIRST!

Its better to test as-is.

GTS-t VSPEC: no probs mate. So what measurment is used for the 33? I never had a close look when testing them - too busy keeping it str8 :) [with dealer sitting next to me].

Useless fact #101: The "0" reading on the 34 guage [see pic above] is neither boost nor vacuum - which sits at halfway point between -700 mmhg [vacuum] and +1 kg/cm2 [boost].

Erik you must be hitting the 1/2 mark between 0 and +1, one post you said 3/4 another post u said 1/2 - so which is it?

Just trying to work out if your boost is in the normal range or not!

sorry nismo 1/2 from 0 to 1, 3/4 the whole boost gauge, i think i'm getting a new one. Dang , i put air filter already today with nice sound, cheap one 35 bucks hehee it's nice sound

ok, that is definately in the normal range for a stock 34! Mine used to be like that too :)

Maybe you should organise a dyno run dude, get them to check your CAS [crank angle sensor] timing and listen for detonation while your there. If it doesnt pull around 150+ kilowatts then there may be something wrong. Mine with some minor mods recorded 182kw.

Also what type of fuel do you use? If you put normal unleaded [89-93 ron] or even so-called 'premium' unleaded [93-95 ron] in your car this could cause problems like timing retardation or detonation. You definately need to get the car looked at if its not running like it should ~ which is ~ fast!

I only use BP Ultimate - 98+ octane.

expensive? In Vic its usually cheaper for me than Optimax.

I have heard its made here though so you guys would pay more in transport costs - but at least you can get Ultimate / 98 octane fuel, not everyone can get it Aust wide.

Prices are normally:

Ultimate - maximum of 6.5cpl dearer than unleaded

Optimax - maximum of 8.5cpl dearer than unleaded

Both s/stations are usually the same advertised price so Ultimate is normally around 2cpl cheaper!

Just my 2c worth :P

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
