well my GTR may have a boost issue, took it for a drive at lunch and it didnt seem to hit boost properly, i finish work at 4:30 so ill drive her home and im just hoping it was just not being able to open it up enough, display was saying it was boosting but it didnt feel like it was pulling like it should.

Well if you think there is a problem lay off the boost until its checked.... Mine felt similar when the injectors started to block and it started leaning out, you could have any number of issues or nothing at all BUT dont test it the hard way!

yeh im over it, if something is f**ked good chance it will go on carsales.

I dont have the time or the money to keep funneling cash into it atm and its my primary mode of transport for work. im hoping its nothing may just me being paranoid ill find out when i drive home, ill give it a little bit of a stab see if it boosts at all if not ill just baby it home, its going to the mechanics tomorrow for run in service anyway.

Dude its a modified car, shit is gunna go wrong and you said you were out thrashing last night...... Look at the run of luck i had!

Teething problems are going to happen man, you could just have a dodgy vacuum line, blown cooler piper (or leaking) or a million other things BUT all fixable!

Dead cat?

So what your saying gummy is that when I most started slipping I shouldnt of kept "testing" it's durability for the next month? Lol

:blink:

You on the rums already?

Maybe Matt should have listened to his own advice...His clutch welding abaility wouldn't have been near as good.

Adam, know exactly how you feel. Stay with it mate...it will be all worth it in the end

Yeh if its something simple then all sweet, but if its a rooted turbo or something thats a pain in the ass..... i wasnt thrashing it down old pac didnt take it over 5k rpm sinec run in service has not been done yet, was a slow run.

yeh, well after 10.5k on engine, service and radiator, im over having issues lol so is my wallet.

I still have a stock engine and i think i have spent 25-30k lol

And THEN you will find something else to break, everytime you make something stronger you introduce a weaker link somewhere........ It part of the fun man!

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
