I don't if it's just me or the car, after a spirit drive, the car doesn't seem to be boosting in 1st gear...

My R34 is pretty much stock, with just fmic, pod, exhaust, it's running stock boost but it creeped up to 9psi.

I'm pretty sure I could hit 9psi in 1st gear before today, but after the drive, it won't boost, it felt like an NA in 1st, then when I changed to 2nd, then it started boosting again?

So then I turned off my car and started it again, then it started boosting in 1st, but it only got to 7psi?

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks

It was just weird, because it wouldn't build boost after spirited drive, then after I turned off the car and on again, it only went to 7psi, but it hit full boost in 2nd, 3rd, 4th. It felt like an NA in 1st gear.......

Also explains why boost creeps up slowly (slightly open), and only reaching 7 PSI (still slightly open).

I guess it'd work after a gear shift since its been forced fully open then recloses properly or half properly.

You turn the car off and vacumm (intake plenum) is killed, this opens the BOV since the throttle body plate is shut and the spring in the BOV isnt being forced down.

Likely to be a problem with that vacumm line from the intake plenum to the BOV, maybe something in there cloggy it intermittently, or the internals of the BOV...dont know too muhc about them, only seen a basic idea of how they work on WikiPedia and that's always been enough information for me.

Was the engine cold when trying to boost?

You know if there is not heat in the manifold it wont hit boost the air is too dence

Nope, the engine was well and truely warmed up, because after a spirited drive, on my way home, thats when the problem started (non/not much boost at all), then I quickly restarted the car and it started boosting again, but only 7psi in 1st, max boost in other gears, then when I come to a stop, shifted back into 1st, still only 7psi max.

It's weird because it happened outta nowhere :thumbsup:

But after doing some research, there are other cars that had similar problem, even GTR's, and people just suggest to restart the car, as it restarts the ECU, or to upgrade the stock ECU to aftermarket.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
