hi guys, have a read of this and see what ya think

My GTS-T currently runs 10.5psi without a bleed off valve, when i fitted one and adjusted it to 12psi it made it reall laggy and started detonating, this all started after the origonal engine died of TMB but that used to run 14psi no worries with the same bleed valve. My only thoughts is that my car is a type M and maybe the second hand engine was not, but is there even a difference? The car still goes hard how it is but i no it used to go better. PLEASE HELP! :headspin:

There's no difference in the engines.

I'd say the bleed is either blocked up with shit or is installed incorrectly. Time to start trouble shooting.

Pull the bleed back out and run the car, see what it does. If it's good then i'd be checking the bleed valve out. Make sure the restrictor hasn't been blocked up as it will mean the wastegate closes slower and therefore lets exhaust gas past the turbine. If the bleed is ok then reinstall it but fully close it. It should have very little effect on boost response. If it does effect it badly i'd be throwing it in the bin. Thats the only thing i can think of.

Or the car is pinging its head off and the computer is retarding the timing to try and stop it.

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
