okok i have a weird problem that's being going on since i got the car. From memory, the boost on a gts-t is two step, 5psi at 4500 and 7psi til 7000rpm. Now why is that the boost on my boost meter never reaches 0.5? I have a blitz electronic boost gauge connected so it should read an accurate reading.

Any suggestions?

Ok the initial post was crap. Wrote that while i just woke up. lol

The question is, looking at the boost meter, a stock gts-t should be able to reach 5bar with no problems right?

If it's only stuck at 4bar all the time no matter if you rev til redline, what could be the problem?

I checked all my lines and they are intact with no leaks. Could the actuator f**k the boost?

4 bars? that means your running 58psi.

do you mean 0.4 bars = 5.8psi....what does your stock one read?

maybe unplug your soleniod and take it for a spin. if it feels the same then it might be your solenoid. if its slower then it may be your boost guage thats not reading right. just a suggestion.

ok took it for a spin just now without the solenoid connected and ran 0.4bar all the way til 6000rpm. It was the same with the solenoid connected, also 0.4bar. Guess solenoid is ok. If it was f**ked up, it sould only show 0.3bar.

the question now is did the car feel the same before and after or is the guage just reading the same before and after? if it felt the same then it might be a boost/solenoid thing but if it felt slower dis-connected then its probably the guage. does your stock guage say different.

is the guage new? i dont know the diff in connection between an electronic one and a mechanical one. you might want to check if the hoses for the guage arent pinched or leaking anywhere.

All hoses are new HKS silicon ones. The stock gauge reads the same as the electronic blizt one which i connected myself. The car felt the same with or without the boost solenoid connected. lol

Boost is strong at 0.4 bar though. Felt like an airplane taking off.

Electronic boost gauge has an additional sensor to connect the vac hose from the fuel pressure regulator hence i don't have to run the hose very long while else the mechanical boost gauge needs a very long hose from the fuel pressure regulator to the gauge iteslf. That's the only difference. According to shops, the electronic gauge is more accurate than the mechanical ones cause of the additional sensor included in the package.

interesting....all i know when i had mine if its d/c then it runs 5psi and the feeling is noticable. I have done the earthing mod and can tell the difference from 5psi to 7psi whilst driving and switching it on and off via a switch in cabin.

I also wired the solenoid up to a water spray kit so when it turns on after 4500rpm it automatically sprays. so i assumed its on and controling boost rather than working only when the car overboosts.

now im doubting myself...ha. maybe someone else can shed some light.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
