Okie dokie

Now my GT-R has never felt as quick as I expected. Mods are as follows:

1990 standard GTR

Mine's ECU (rich as f**k)

3.5" catback

Standard everything else (inc airbox, dump pipes, cat etc)

107000kms

But the other day it took off like a rocket. I have since confirmed that the boost gauge tears off past 1.2kg/cm^2(!!!) and I know standard should be 0.8 bar (11.8psi)

When it isn't going berserk, it only holds about 0.5kg/cm^2... Which is well below 0.8 bar.

So this suggests to me that the boost control solenoid might be f**ked?

Any similar experiences?

Thanks,

Ryley

Mine's ECU is tuned for japanese 100ron fuel, most likely the problem is there.

1.2kg/cm^2 is 17.1psi, if that is on stock turbos you can kiss the ceramic wheels goodbye in record time, they're not meant to be boosted past 1bar (14.7psi or 1.03kg/cm^2)

thanks mate im aware that the mines ECU is for the 100ron fuel.

thankfully there has only been 3 or 4 spikes into that boost level, not keen to do it again. would like to just get the boost level set to standard.

does the ECU control boost?? i assumed that only the solenoid did??

ECU has nothing to do with boost, only the solenoid and the ball bearing restrictor (or lack of) in the hose control the boost. Should be seeing exactly 14.7psi without the restrictor (indicated by a yellowband on of of the hoses going to the solenoid), if you want to to lower the boost put the restrictor back in.

cheers mate. afer a bit of searching last night, i hve found all the hoses/schematics i need... and i reckon you're right, a boost leak.

otherwise will check ECUs. going to go for a power FC at some stage anyway. :P

thanks

Ummm...I dont understand how the problem is most likely in the Mines ECU?????

The tune on the ECU has absolutely nothing to do with the way the boost behaves in regards to max/min boost.

The excess fuel could be caused by a boost leak yes, that could also just be the tune.

What you do is:

Disconnet the line that goes to the bottom fitting of the solonoid (one that comes from the rear underneath of the collector and Ts into the actuator circuit on your schematic), and put a bolt or something in it. This will give you full actuation (lowest boost).

If you still have overboosting, its either the pressure source (split hose) or a faulty actuator or 2. You can test the actuator by blowing into the front of it, you shouldnt be able to blow air into it.

If you no longer have overboosting, the solonoid is bung, and they do pack up sometimes.

cheers mate that was pretty much my train of thought too.

the reason im leaning towards solenoid is it only does it a handful of times. normally it just sits on the meagre 0.5 kg/cm^2. but a couple of times i've given it the beans and it's rocketed off towards 1.2kg/cm^2.

but yes, i will try that procedure, thanks.

what are the standard wastegates on the turbos set at? ie what should it run with the bottom fitting disconnected and plugged??

    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
