Leigh,

You and Andrew probably have the OEM boost restricter removed, which inside the hose that goes to the Boost Solenoid.

Once removed you can run a "Safe" factory boost increase, as what I have heard and read about so far.

i hope r34 gtr turbos can run a bit more boost safer than the r33 and r32 gtr's because mine usually runs over 1bar, the highest it got to was 1.18 on the screen which was right on the edge of the screen, maximum it reads is 2.0. in psi i think its roughly 16-17psi.

Not really - they are just newer, doesnt mean they wont/cant fail in the same fashion especially considering you dont know what was going on before you got it.

too much heat = bye bye turbo.

could happen to near new turbos IMO

I know everyone will say that it is way to much boost but I have never seen an R34 including mine run less boost than that. I bought mine with only a cat back and am in fact now running less boost with the computer and full exhaust. Factory mine ran the same and I know of a few other guys telling me the same, when mine was stock it used to hit 1.18 bar as well on occasion. Now with the wolf I have managed to run a perfectly steady .9 bar.

So done stress, the R34's just run more boost than the R33 and R34. In fact it may just be coincidence for me but I have never seen a 34 do anything but run minimum 1 bar.

ok thats good to hear that its not just mine then.

Geoff brought snowys old factory turbos - i think he got like 1,000kms out of them or something before they let go and took his motor with them (this is going back a few years now)

So they can indeed fail... It's just that most R34 GTR owners dont run them that high, for that long.

I think we will see more examples as time goes on of this occuring.

+1. How long do you run that 1bar? If you're just driving on the street it wouldnt be that long would it? If you're doing mountain runs/track, the risk just increases. Its all about whether or not you wanna take the risk.

Nobody really say you cannot run 1bar but rather its not advisable to run 1 bar because the risk or probability of the turbo blowing up increases.

Mine runs 1-1.2 bar factory with no dramas but I need a tune.

Mate you've got a NUR (according to your profile/nick). They have N1 spec turbos like mine so you're not comparing apples with apple. I'm running mine at 1.15bar with no dramas too... -.-;

with my BNR34:

Mods

-full exhaust system

-cam gears

-power fc

-kn panel filter

everything else standard, 1st dyno tune from Race Pace 280awkw (30,000km) 4 years ago. Now with (120,000km) dyno tune from Race Pace it's now 250awkw.

Not to sound rude but how did Racepace dyno your car all wheel? They only have a rear wheel dyno...so they can only generate numbers with rwkw...did they ever have a 4 wheel dyno before?..

aw/rw = same shit anyway.

Trent has a rwd dyno, and when i asked him about it he said he can put a "GTR setting" on or something which puts 5% more stress on it or something to act like a AWD dyno when doing GTRs, something along those lines anyway he can probably explain it more hehe

oops my bad, so how does he dyno it than? removes front drive shaft?

umm...yes...well thats what they did to mine when they dynoed it...they only have a rear wheel dyno...well atm they do...not sure if they had a 4 wheel one when you got yours...

    • 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

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
