so i have an rb20, fully stock, side mount intercooler etc. now when i rev it up and drop the clutch or go to do a hillstart, it nearly dies, then slowely revs back up. i checked for a leak in my piping or bov, couldnt seem to find one? i checked my bov and nothing. thought maybe the spring might be too loose but i dont know? makes an awfully big spooling/sucking noise at even quarter throttle. so i dont know why this could be?

i also have a problem with it missfiring on boost between 3 1/2-5 grand, then pulls fine. i bought new plugs. NGK BCPR6ES. gapped at .8mm. still did it. checked the cam timing, set it at 15 degrees. still does it. now im using an rb25 engine harness, which is a little stupid as now it idles at 1.5-2 grand! but 4th, and 6th injector are the wrong way around on the ecu. so swapped them around. still does it. i'd heard about hairline cracks in the coilpacks, so ill have to check them, but if anyone else knows of any other reasons which it may be doing this i'd love to know so i can try them.

cheers, Ben

Spooling noise could be an exhaust leak, anything from the exhaust manifold gasket to broken studs/nuts relating to the turbo.

As for the hillstart thing, could be a slipping clutch or intake related (dirty/bad AFM, intake manifold gasket leak etc)

As for mis-firing, could be the ignitor (if it's the series that doesn't have the ignitors built into each coil), though they usually work fine when cold, it's not until they're warm they start causing problems.

yeah ill have to check the exhaust manifold for leaks etc. as for hillstart thing, the car had a n/a in it before and the clutch was fine, the clutch in it is supposed to be able to handle turbo, and it drives fine when im rolling if i chuck it into first and give it some stick, only when taking off on a hill. ill have to check the coilpacks and ignitor. and afm and maybe clean out the t/b

    • 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 馃槈. 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 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 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 馃槈. 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 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
