When my skyline comes on boost it sounds like it's sucking heaps more than it should b through the podfilter And it has lost alot of power due to this..it sputters in gears it's lke. A slipping clutch but instead it's like the turbo is slipping eg struggles to get up hills n stuff lol plz HELP

Check for air leaks.

What have you looked for,tested etc?

If nothing then send it to a mechanic. If your not keen enough to throw your head in your engine bay to find a problem before asking people then don't bother.

i'll put my money on a hairline crack on the pipe that goes through the hole in the chassis before the intercooler.

it'll probably be a split where the 2 halves of the pipe join, on the under side

mine has this feeling but usually only on hot days. feels like the ecu massively holds it back. but then it feels awesome in the morning again. if you work it out let me know. i don't think it's an air leak otherwise it'd be a permanent thing.

it's like it gets hot and then holds back. you hear boost way more and feel like, half the power.

mate you were 100% correct lol split in that pipe thanks heaps mate u saved me heaps of $$$ :-)

yeah mine was a crack in the underside of the pipe where that guy said it was lossing like heaps of boost so i changed that and im all good again.. im still learining about this turbo stuff but maybe u need to tune your ecu on the dyno or keep your car cool so the computer thinks its still running cool like in the mornings eg install a frountmount or get an ecu that tells your car is cold all the time so it runs like it does in the mornings:) let me know how u go??

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
