My problem is when i reach around 5-6000 rpm it looses power,and boost reading drops excessivley as if somthing has blocked the air intake.

has anybody had this problem?i have checked all pipes and fittings?

I've got this exact same problem. Sometimes I get a loud whistling type sound in the higher RPMs. I've only got some basic bolt on mods, FMIC, split front/dump pipe, high flow cat, manual b/c at 10psi. Mine drops off to next to no boost past 5000rpm. My friends Dad had a look at it tonight, he's a nissan mechanic. We weren't able to solve the problem unfortunately. Got us pretty stumped.

your joking john isnt that silicon hose sposed to eliminate that problem (sucking close) if so its a complete waste of money,im gonna put my stock inlet pipe on and reinforce it,did the problem go away for you onced rienforced??

I regret buying it, wasted $150... was pretty worthless! Re-enforced it all sweet, I don't get a boost drop anymore!

if you squeeze it you'll notice its actually softer than the stock pipe!

If your intake pipe is sucking closed, that suggests to me that your air filter is too restrictive. Take the air filter off and go for a quick drive, see if it's still an issue, but avoid any dirt roads!

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
