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.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
