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!

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
