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.

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??

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
