there is harm in replacing the hose . you might replace the one with the restrictor in it with a hose without the restrictor in it . =free boost .

anyone who is using the stock gauge can stop replying right now .

my stagea (neo motor) ran an unstable .8 bar with exhaust and intercooler upgrades . all this is common info .

the r34 does have a solenoid . i really dont know how this thread managed to dig up so many uneducated people all at once

as for the spool up its either the normal neo noise ( to do with plastic wheels) or you most likely have a slightly blown exhaust manifold gasket

ok yes my mates car is not a neo but its the only one to go by.

as for the hose before i do try getting a new one is it the one that goes from the T piece under the airbox snorkel and down to the round metal thing just ubove the turbo ?

if so what should i ask for when i go to replace it ? can it be purchased from autobarn?

would the exhaust manifold gasket leave some evidence if its leaking? iv looked and theres no oil or moister (u use to race a gemini in rally and thats how i could tell if there was a manafold leak if it wasnt obvious (but there was alot of dust to stick to and oil leaks) the r34 is spotless in the engin bay .

as i said earlyer im ner to turbos well anything fuel injected for that matter.

umm, we're sorry? any reason for that?

what's that supposed to mean? that the stock gauge doesn't work for mods? that it takes these upgrades to get to 11-12psi?

it was a team effort :)

damnit, such a noobie question lol: how do i tell :$

ok gees i read your post so wrong the first time and realy ripped through you , my bad i have to read the full post first sorry . i deleted it once i realized

um from what i can tell is the series 2 has a shitty bumber that covers most the places you would like all your air to go , and it has a two tone dash and console . your dash lights are orange at night .

i think they have solid lifter in the motor so i thort maybe its a series 2 thing to have 11 psi ?

lol, yes, to make it clear it was my question that was the noobie one.

i'll have to have a look, it sounds like the differences are painfully subtle if you haven't seen them before.

buuuuuuutt. i'm reasonably sure that its a 1999 model, and i read elsewhere the series 2's were 2000 onwards. I say reasonably because the guy i bought this from had no idea: he had tyre pressures less than you'd put in a camry (the car has 235 front 265 backs and 18" rims), different front tyres, different spacer WIDTHS on the front (not even kidding), illegally huge spacers on the back, 3" catback exhaust (not 4 as he said), he didn't know the kw (and was surprised to hear it), nor the turbo type (as in different to r33), thought the amp under the passenger seat was an additional computer... (takes a breath) need i continue?

so yeah, how do i check what year it is? I assume it's somewhere on the engine, or in the engine code?

that would be because most of are here to learn from people such as your self that have been there and experienced that !!. and we apreciate all the help we can get as that is what forums are for .

i will make sure when i change the acutator hose i make sure its the hose made for that job tanks for that advice

i tell you what ill look under the bonnet now and get back to you but a dead give away is the dash light when you turn them on they will be orange if its series 2 and white if its series 1 (unless hes put different colour leds in it lol.

...yeah thebottom of mine said R34-37-2A (not much help i suppose). But the import sticker said 06/99, which i assume is year?

the tc and hicas lights are orange, the speedo and tacho are white

it will be a series 1 then

so, bringing the thread back into line:

what should the stock psi be for an r34 gtt s1 or s2?

As far as i have been told by my mechanic who has done a fair few neos the R34 gtt (and the stagea) was released with a few different set ups for the engine tune, maybe it was bought stock at 11psi, but it probably just due to your mods and maybe a tune.mine Was running 5-7psi when i picked it up but had a tune and wound it up to 11psi, no mods at all other than that, bog stock and it pulls 161rwkw.

Also the standard gauge is in hhmg not kpa or psi as someone suggested.

Almost. The standard gauge is mmhg or millimetres of mercury. 7 on the gauge (which is 700) equals 13.5 psi

Thanks for the correction mate i typo'd haha, maybe im dyslexic?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
