Ok today i finally got my new GReddy Profec B II boost controller... and it has been installed as per instructions... but we are having a few issues...

Now previously i had a Turbosmart Boost controller which was only giving 10psi and we couldnt get anymore then that from it...

After installing it.. we started driving it around back streets and pulled 11psi in 1st and 14psi in 2nd.... which is great as really goes much better now...

Now heres the problem.... in 3rd...4th and 5th gear... it starts to hit boost at 3200rpm... but as soon as it hits 3900rpm... the boost disappears... We tried this a couple of times and eventually found that always at 3900rpmish it will disappear then reappear at 4600rpm... like a BIG DEAD SPOT.

This onyl happens in 3rd 4th 5th gears... not 2nd or 1st as these are perfect... So my question is... has anyone encountered this problem before...

Could it possibly be that the wastegate is shutting on me for some reason at a certain rpm.... ... Also.. it never happened on the previous boost controller.... though it never had more then 10psi.... But when i dont spool over 9psi it seems to work fine....(i think)

Any solutions to maybe keeping the wastegate open if it is shutting??

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
