Suppose to have a loud suction noise, that’s affects from FNT turbine setup as the shaft spins at faster rate compare to generic turbine based on same RPM scale.

I've sent you an additional low pressure actuator. Swap the high pressure actuator over and it should sit the boost to around 10psi. But recommended to keep the high pressure actuator if the car's going to be tuned with supporting mods.

High pressure actuator will also pickup better response.

Still using stock ecu, no one wants to install a nistune and tune my car apparently. They won't return my emails. Their loss, il just install it myself and get it tubed at the first 4wd dyno I find that looks like they know what their doing.

Send Matt (nistune owner) your ECU and get him to install the chip. I can give you my Nistune file suitting 550cc injectors. Load that up and it should start and drive as if its been tuned assume you have the same injectors and Z32 AFM.

You can drive that to your tunner and do a quick check up making sure its not pinning or doing any thing strange.

Ive got the small actuator on it now and it's as tight as the adjustment will go, it's running a pretty constant 7 psi but high in the revs it has a very sudden spike straight to boost cut so 14psi. It's very annoying as down low where you want the power it won't get full boost. I'm hoping it's just the actuator.

My boost gauge is reading 14psi when it happens. It's actually settled down a little. I'm wondering if I have a boost leak. On the way home from work it would gets the usual 7psi but from 4500 it slowly built up to the 14psi limit and shut down. Either it's a boost leak or there is a problem with the turbo. It is strange that it won't boost above 7psi until the boost creep starts. I will re install my boost control and see if I can turn the boost up to my normal 12psi. If it doesnt work il have to contact stao.

I dont want to start a new thread so anyway.

Does anyone know if my blatz consult cable work with nistune?? I now have nistune maps for a z32 and 550cc injectors now :) but still no nistune or injectors or walbro or afm until I get my tax back :(

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
