Hey guys, Ive got some boost issues i cant figure out, its driving me NUTSS..Well, im not making more than 0.1 bars of boost (havn't tried boosting it yet). The car drives o..k with almost no lag until the time boost is meant to kick in, you dont feel the lag once your in boost mode, but both my A/M Apexi boost gauge and stock gauge show me that im running under boost, also the car doesnt have that 0.5 bar pull it once had. i have tried the following with no positive outcomes:

- Change all vacuum lines

- Change wastegate to R32 wastegate (as soon as i changed this, i had a boost up to 0.7 bars but with heaps of lag and backfires, so pretty much no difference)

- Change Intercooler Pipes (not core, although core has some dents in the fins which i doubt would cause a leak or anything)

- Replace Cat with De-cat Pipe (incase i had a blocked cat)

and....nothing else so faar.

i should also mention, i have takin my car for a dyno tune and the guys there tottaly gave up on my car (but back then the car was having some other issue which has been takin care of)..by the way, when it was worse then it is now, i pulled out exactly 143.2 hp...isn't that sexiful hey..lol

Neways guys, PLEASE HELP ME OUT, im wanting to mod my car but dont want to mod it and increase possibilities of a dead engine..

hey guys, found out that my boost gauge vacuum hose was almost off!!!. fixed that up and im now getting 4.5 psi below 4500rpm and 6 above...

its gone better although i thought it was meant to be getting 10psi with the r32 actuator??..am i not right??..

Disconnect the vacuum lines on the boost solenoid (located behind your airbox/pod) and join the two ends thus bypassing the solenoid. This way, the amount of boost you run will be dependent on the actuator; in this case, 10psi.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
