gday all

well i have been noticing that some times my boost will drop about half of what it should be, showing up both on my standard and after market boost gauges.

it happened to day so i pulled over and turned the car off and started it straight back up again and it was back to normal ( full boost)

I am running standard car, Manual. You can feel the difference in power too, feels like my old r31

any ideas any one????

cheers

Mine does it too( manual series 2 ) I'd say it's just another Nissan problem disconnect the stock boost control and fit an aftermarket one and it will stop doing it

it always good to hear someone is having the same problem, then you know your not going insane :) but on the other hand not so good for the other people!!

I was thinking it was the ecu going into limp home mode or something, no warnning lights are coming up.

It has to be electrical, to turn off the car and restart in a matter of seconds and fix the problem it cant be boost leak.

cheers

mine did that to. there a quite a few things in the trouble shooting matrix that the solenoid will remain off for .

most likely is too much boost . or afm maxing out . what mods does your car have ?

no mods, but i was talking to some one today and they said airflow meter as well, i might give that a clean and see if that changes things

mine did it more when it was stock, after the exhaust and intercooler it got less frequent. i assumed that by turning the car off and back on it kind of did a check to see if there was anthing wrong then went back to normal running. the 10 minute boost mod didnt work for me so ive got a turbosmart boost t turned up to about 64 clicks. its 6 clicks short of overboost. but still does it on cold nights accasionally.

This just started happening to me, as a temporary fix would turning the boost controller down slightly help? because mine seems to boost a bit past normal say 12psi on the gauge before cutting itself back to not going past about 6, so im assuming ive got a sensor detecting too much boost and trying to cut it back but not working properly?

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
