What mods are done to the car?

Has it been worked on recently?

How long have you owned the car for, or have you just bought it?

When your driving, when is it losing boost? What RPM?

Does it bog down?

Its hard to diagnose problems over the internet. Being specific to all the details is a must :)

oh my bad, umm theres a funny rattle sound come from either the engine bay or around there when i turn the car on, but it goes away? and also im loosing boost?

How many kms has the car done? And whats the oil condition and level like?

Does it only rattle when cold? Is it a rattling sound, or a ticking sound?

Ticking most likely = noisy lifters.

Loud external rattle most likely = exhaust heat shield (if fitted).

First step with the boost problem is to check (and check again) all intake & intercooler piping, and check all vacuum hoses in the engine bay.

the cars done 139k had oil done last month, its more rattle sound, but it looks like its coming from around from where the belts are?

I'd be checking the intercooler hoses first if your losing boost. May be a boost leak.

Yup.. i'd say KeyMaker's right there...

Sounds like it could possibly be two unrelated problems. Check all piping from turbo to throttle body.

Another possibility could be exhaust manifold gasket. Check it for leaks.

    • 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
