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!

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
