after an hour of searching and reading i figured id just ask the question.

R33 GTS25t, KKR430, injectors, exhaust, pod, ff plenum, fmic, z32 afm, remapped ecu, greddy profec b ebc, walbro fuel pump, splitfires

my car is going pretty well with the remap i finished today, however i am losing boost in the top end for some bizarre reason.

the boost gets up to about 18-19psi before 4000rpm, and holds that to about 5500rpm, then it gradually falls to 14-15psi. i dont think that constitutes spiking does it? it holds 18 for some time before falling.

ideally i want 17-18psi right through, but i have been fiddling with the profec b incessantly to no avail. i realise you would normally increase gain in this case, but ive already got it up to about 25%, and its not really any different to when its on 10%.

i read that if the standard solenoid is still attached it can bleed 2-3psi? anyone heard of this? the standard solenoid is near the back of the plenum right?

i thought maybe the wastegate actuator was loose, but its spooling up pretty hard and seems to hold 18psi until the revs get quite high. i guess i can try another half turn of tension.

also, im not sure about this, but from research, my set being at 70% seems ridiculous. and sounds very high to get only 18psi.

help greatly appreciated! thanks guys!

That is not spiking but it is definately a weak actuator. The wastegate is being forced open by what is a lot of boost. What I mean by that is at 14lbs boost is moderate but as with all laws of physics the boost rises 2lbs but the actual pressure through the wastegate is astounding. So, at 18-19lbs the pressure is very high, not dangerous but too much for the actuator to hold. If you already have a 14lb actuator then get a 17 or 18lb one. Your profec will love you for it. But the 14lb actuator will do it as thats what I have and there is no problem. Start from the beginning. Turn off your boost controller. Then go for a full power run in third and see if you get the boost your actuator is designed for. If not then wind some turns into it till it starts to climb over the actuators boost level preset from factory. Wind back half turn. That is all you can do. if you only have the 7lb actuator your stuffed. The profec controls the wastegate but can't do miracles. Get a 14lb actuator. About 50% on boost should give you 18lbs. Set gain should be 3-4lbs below the boost your running, ie: 15lbs or as the profec reads, 150. Make sure you set your warning at 20lbs or the profec will cut the fun for you. Be warned, now that your boost will hold till redline you will make more power so get a tune.

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
