ok bought new hose clamps retensioned everything and checked all the pipes... went for a drive was still running somewhat unwell everytime i got to about 4000-5000rpm the bovs would just go off even with my foot flat?? does this still point to a boostleak issue?

edit: just pulled off bov's and there is a difference between the 2... one is marginally stiffer than the other ?>

cheers chad will do tomorrow.. had enough for today.. just took it for a run with bov's off and pipes blocked... still running like a pig... guess ill have to look harder and check absolutely everything.. man this is pissing me off

ok here is where i am at... double checked all ic piping, removed and blocked bov's plus vacumes. checked nearly every other vacume hose... not popping asmuch but still feels gutless and its still struggling under boost... even thought bov's are removed it still lets off and makes a chatting noise even when im giving it throttle.. and no this sound isnt flutter its a slow chuw chow chew chow sound

**edit** just took an old sau member crimmo for a cruise and he said it sounds ignition relation.. injector duty was down around 25%.. he said i may have fried my plugs at mallala or my coilpacks are cooked... anyone got some coil packs i can borrow for a couple hours?

Mark, I've got 7 or so coil-packs lying around - not sure if they're all 100% good, I did replace them for a reason but you're welcome to borrow. As a side note - have you checked your vacuum/boost pipes that run to the wastegate cans? When I had my 32 GTR one of mine blocked up and caused the BOV(s) to flutter continuously under boost (and also caused over-boosting), wasn't exactly easy to diagnose though.

u could just be a life saver.... coil pack borrow would be amazing more than happy to exhange a 6 pack.

by vacume boost pipes?? you mean the vacume pipes that go to the actuators? they were replaced a few 1000 kms ago but ill check tomorrow when i check the plugs.. the symptoms your talking about sound soooo simialr to whats goin on with my baby atm

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
