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.

    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen. The photos from the Offset Kings event at Sunrise 2016. https://fatlace.com/offset-kings-okayama-at-sunrise/
    • Isn't there a PAR engineering gearset that has closer to stock ratios? And they claim they'll do whatever ratios you want.
    • And this is the the thing with a high powered, AWD, heavy car. The engine is easy, the driveline costs just as much as the engine. 🤷‍♂️ Welcome to GTRland. Whatever you think your budget is, double it. Whatever you think your timeline is, triple it.
    • I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...  
    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
