the biggest one I found was the PCV valve. I blocked that off. I also went over every vacuum line and ensured that they were all very tightly secured with either cable ties or clamps, at both ends - check thoroughly as there are many, many hoses. Then check all your cooler pipes.

If none of that works, get some CRC and spray it at all joins on the intake side, including where the plenum joins the head, throttle body to plenum etc. If you find a leak the engine revs will increase quite dramatically.

vacuum leaks are the most painful little buggers to find, good luck:)

The PCV valve is one thing i will be blocking off once i fit my GTR bov's. I guess not having any BOV's and running 1 bar with a GT30 hasent helped either :(

I am thinking of getting a hks eids idle stability controller things and seing if that helps at all if other checks reviel no problems.

Whats you bov spring tentioned to open up at (psi)? coz if my car is idling and i turn it off u cna hear the turbo still spinng for about 10 seconds after the car is off, which might also be cauing the afm problems

My BOV doesnt lift until around 10-12lbs. My turbo spins forever when the car shuts down too.

PCV is very easy to block, just whack a self tapper in it. If you want to check it, just pull it out and blow through it, if air only passes one way, all is good. Quite often just pulling it out of the rocker cover and holding your finger over it whilst the car is idling will reveal if it is the problem, but either way, block it off - it is not your friend:)

What sort of power is OBEHAVE making?

That thing really smokes up when it hits second (Auto). Sounds awesome.

OBEHAVE's 10.9 128mph 1/4 run mpg over here - http://www.fullboost.com.au/vidzz/fullBOOS...3_12_obehve.avi

I wish i could remember the figure... but it's up around the 300's mark.

With a nice Auto in it. Thats what makes the car fast.

Reasonable stall...

And stronger bottom end etc, but i dont recall top end work, but it was a few months ago now :P

It's interesting that run as you can see there are still launching problems.

The car was plagued with them for months last year.

I was at calder a lot and they were running lots of 12's.

Something to do with getting it off the convertor.

But going by that vid, they still aint got it right, but getting better at least :aroused:

Watch it leave the black lines on the strip as it starts to pull hard and drift to the right.

Luv that zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz noise from the tyres, brings back memorys of my first car the burn out machine TE 250 Cortina. :P

386kw at the wheels?

well that confirms that it's still got issues then.

any car making that much power should be able to bed a much better time, especially auto

PCV is very easy to block,................block it off - it is not your friend:)

Hmmm, had the same problem myself withthe PCV, I cut it open, stretched the sring inside, and glued it back together, problem solved.

Can you tell me why it's not a friendly little thing to have around, as I'd be happy to get shot of it for a tidier appearance.

Can you also tell me a little bit more about the 3037 with the .61 a/r housing, what rpm did it boost at ?

Well all it does is allow oil vapours into the cylinders, its there to stop all the dolphins from going tits up, and the trees turning brown. If you fit a baffled catch can, you can remove all the crap from the crank case gasses before they do any harm to your engine or the dolphins.

3037 with 0.61 was just too savage, 1 bar at around 3000rpm, but it wasnt possible to safely drive the car with any more boost. It came on like a switch, even at 90-100kmh the back end would try and change lanes with light throttle, such as gentle accelleration.

0.87 is sooo much better, still has heaps down low, boost starts building under 3000rpm, with 1 bar around 3700ish rpm - but you can control the boost with the throttle, its not just on or off.

its there to stop all the dolphins from going tits up, and the trees turning brown.
:)

Thanks Steve, It looks like I'll be going for the .87 A/R kit, a nice slow buildup to max boost with something usable below 3.5krpm is exactly what I'm after :)

Quick recap, your using a 1.6mm headgasket and stock bottom end ?

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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
