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.

    • Noice. Congrats on the big day too!   don’t forget to never eat in the Skyline 🤣
    • Overnight parts from Amazon, let's go. Replaced nearly every o-rings, minus 2x from the pumps. Seems the kit is short? Then again when I replaced the main pump a few years back it did come with new seals so we are good. Yiewwww, ready for legal stimulants.
    • I'm only really familiar with the R33 setup, the factory filter is very much an encourage fuel pick up thingo.  The factory pump sits about half way down into the tank and the sock runs down into the bottom of the tank.  Mounting an aftermarket pump in the factory location with the typical tiny Walbro filter, I had huge fuel surge issues once the fuel level dropped below 50%. 
    • Hi Gent, Got my r34 GTT 1999 ,wondering if anyone has a stock airbox with snorkel? currenly it has a pod filter which im planning to remove and install the stock part, as this needs to go to vic road for inspection. Appreciate your assistance. 
    • Yeah, I still dunno. The size of the sock should only matter if it is blocked. It is, after all, a filter rather than a "thing to encourage fuel pickup". He has modded the original so that it is now down on the floor, so it's not physically the same as in the original complaint, yet does the same thing. I therefore lean to the problem being somewhere else. Sticking some dynomat on there is a worthwhile experiment, but I'd put $10 on it not fixing the problem.
