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!

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
