the way the solenoid is setup won't really make a difference. above 4500rpm it will let a TINY bit of air through into the intake, but it wouldn't cause this problem.

take the dump pipe off and have a look at the exhaust wheel, and take the intake pipe off and have a look at the compressor wheel. also pull the cat out and see if it's blocked.

If it was my car, i would be looking at the boost controller first. I doubt its an exhaust blockage, if your car was running 12psi before and you had a smash it wont just magically block it and restrict your boost to 7psi.

Personally, i would disconnect the hose that goes to the wastegate actuator, put a screw in the vacuum line so it doesnt leak and take it for a VERY CAREFUL spin. The car would be running open boost and if you just floor it it will spool up to 20++psi and you will most likely smash the rear wheel off, but you can control boost by throttle position (as you would of noticed during daily driving), so take it for a spin with the gauge connected and see if you can SLOWLY accelerate and get the boost up around 10-12psi. If it spools up fine then its the boost controller...

ok i disconnected the line to the wastegate actuator and boost when up passed the 7psi mark, but soon as i got to bout 8-9psi a loud squeal came in, sounds like belts slipping but my guess is that its a boost leak, that right? since i put my cousins boost controller on and it didnt make a difference i no its not the controller and i no its not the turbo or exhurst so its must be piping for the intercooler or even a dud intercooler???

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
