hi, having a bit of trouble with my car, only mod is a full 3 inch exhaust, and the recepace all purpose boost setting.

seems to take a long time to rev out.. like once it gets to about 4,500 rpm there is no more power coming and i can hear the turbo sort of 'screaming'...

also at lower rpm, like just starting to boost, the turbo definatly makes a 'rattling' sound like bearing maybe, as well as a more pronounced induction noise, and a general lack of performance. This has been happening for a while before the exhaust went on but now its a bit worse.

ive checked and at least no oil in radiator or smoke out exhaust.

Ive looked for any leaking lines from turbo and cooler but cant see any..

I was guessing i maybe need a fmic to cope with the extra boost as the problems get worse once i have been driving for half hour(ish)

I'll be taking it to mechanics in the next few weeks but any ideas would still be a good help

cheers

Put a boost gauge on it and see what its doing in terms of boost. Besides that its hard to give advice without experiencing it first hand. Was it doing that before you fitted the racepace boost setting you mentioned?? If not revert back to stock and eliminate causes.

PS: you dont need a FMIC it will only reduce intake temps. This is a problem that needs to be rectified before anymore work is done to the car in terms of power gains.

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.

      R33 general questions

      Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      By zoomzoom · Posted

      I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
