Having a few issues with the the car when on the road in any gear if it hits .5 bar the engine cuts very smooth cut, no struggling no missing just bam that it nothing. untill your fully off the accelerator then it comes back to life, you can have the throttle 3/4 open and will rev to limiter.

history of things i have tried,

removed all turbo side replaced all gaskets lines that looked bad and clamps.

replaced TPS and AFM

removed factory boost solinoid and run manifold pressure to wastgate

removed all cooler piping and replaced some clamps all ok

changed plugs gap .8

running out of ideas?

stock ecu on it, have an apexi boost gauge i have just connected for testing. makes boost ok but at about 6k its creeps up slowly from .45 bar and when it hits the .5 it cuts.

That was my first thoughts it was hitting the boost cut but my understanding thats at 1.2bar?

There is no "boost cut" on Nissan ECUs (alright, on the Neo, which actually has a MAP sensor connected to the ECU, there is a boost cut). But certainly not a boost cut on R33 ECUs.

What you DO have is a load based cut. When the ECU calculates a TP value (based pretty much just on AFM reading) which is too high, you get a cut. This can actually happen at a whole different range of boost levels, depending on how much other modification the car has (exhaust, bigger cooler, etc) and the weather, etc.

What I would suspect is that the boost gauge you are using might not be accurate, and somehow you have more boost than you think you do. Consider this one unlikely. Or you have a big boost leak that you haven't found, leading to high air flow at the correct boost in plenum. Or you have a faulty AFM.

Ok changed a few bits has made it abit better.

Timing was set on 0deg so set cas to 15deg.

Factory boost gauge sensor was missing so grabbed one of another wreak out back now factory cluster works only goes halfway up won't go to the 7, which should be correct for 7psi.

Have connected factory boost solinoid.

Seems to get to 6500rpm now then cut.

Can't be afm as I have changed that.

But have noticed there is a beep from the ecu when it hits the cut?

limiter is at 7200

And I know the factory gauge 7 on it is about 14psi that what I said it only goes to half which would mean its running 7pis = .5 bar or there abouts.

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