but thats the bit i dont get?? it pours fuel out the back like it's got a free fuel card...

just because its running rich doesnt mean its got enough fuel for the air you provide the engine at those boost levels

at 18psi on a gtr with a stock fuel system, something clearly over its capasity where it be injectors or fuel pump

put the boost to 15psi or somewhere it doesnt ping and take it to a dyno place to see whats going on

yeah coz of the dust ay?? its not running 18, just every now and than it spikes, i run it at 10 psi now days just to be sure, that way it only spikes to 15 pound, haha

yeah need to take it to a dyno or hoist to see wtf is going on

oh and is there any way a boost controller could be making to turbo's lag??? like not hitting 15 psi till 4.5-5k or so?? thats pretty late for stock turbo's isnt it?

yes i know, my car is doing some f**ked up shit!!

start saving your money. If you continue to disrespect your rb26 like this your going to need a rebuild.

says the bloke who's pic is of him doing a burnout... haha

i dont run the thing on 18psi, im just saying there is something wrong with my boost controller and its starting to let it spike, thats why i've turned it back to 10 pound so if it does happen to spike, it's still safe.

going to look at it over chrissy break and watch my boost gage like a hawk in between.

the difference between his and yours, is that his is already a forged motor and it has been tuned to suit all the modifications made to it.

yeah thats why im only running 10 pound atm.

so im looking for nismo fuel pump and till then just gonna drive it around on low boost, then look at getting bigger turbo's!! and see if i can blow my engine...

and i've seen plenty of 'built' engines blow from doing burnouts. but that ussually the drivers, to me thats showing real disrespect to your car... but each to there own, im sure there worse things, like running your car lean, haha

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
