Hi All,

I have just bought an r34 gtt, last night i was driving it and looked at the standard boost guage looking for the car to switch between the 5 to 7psi at 4500rpm and the boost didn't change at all when i went past that rpm, it held all the way to redline. Then when i did it again i notice that the needle was very close the the 1 kg/cm2 line... if i was to guess i would say it would hold 0.8 all the way to redline. The only mods this car has is a full turbo back exhaust. My question is does this boost seem high for the mods? I have had a look and the standard boost controler seems to be in tact as in it doesn't seem to be earthed to get the extra boost before 4500rpm. Some other strange things i have noticed is that my fuel pump is quite loud compared to my friends r33 so im wondering if this car is still stock asides from the exhaust. I have attached some photos of the actuator and turbo. Should this car be running this much boost? If the car is indeed running between 0.8-0.9 kg/cm2 wouldn't the computer have gone to r & r by running that kind of boost? Your help is greatly appreciated

That seems about right.

With the turbo back exhaust it'll boost slightly higher, and the factory guage is far from accurate...

It might have the grounded solenoid trick done so it gets full boost through the whole rev range. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/42895-howto-rb25det-high-boost-mode-with-standard-solenoid/page__hl__rb25det+high+boost+mode+with+standard+solenoid

If you're really concerned get an after market guage and hopok it up.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
