hey guys,as i said in my last post im new to skylines, that also means turbo's aswell.lol. so i am hopeing someone can help me fix my problem.

ahhh everything on it is pretty much stock and i wanted a bit more boost. so i got a g.f.b boost tap and when i put the boost up nothing hapopend was running the standed boost. i looked t the waistgate and that was jammed so i fixed that problem now thats all fine. but it still wont boost any harder is it possibel that there is shit in my turbo? or do i need a new one ?

do you have an aftermarket boost gauge? the stock one doesn't read in psi and isn't that accurate, so don't use it for adjusting boost.

secondly, are you sure you have it hooked into the right vaccum line? maybe take a pic of how you have it set up.

or as dean said, just take it to a workshop

if you are referring to "6" on the dash cluster gauge then its boosting cos that gauge aint in psi

and as aforementioned take it to a mechanic before you break it. Seriously, boost controllers are not a DIY job unless ur very experienced. Iv seen some horror outcomes... (thankfully not on mine cos i had the good sense to have a mechanic do it even though im pretty handy...)

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
