This happened when my timing was out a little bit at cruise loads, after a 15 min drive at 100km/h :) (just an oversight.. thats what you get when you drink too much rum the night before then try tune on V and Pies :) )

Was that timing or Afr's? If so what was wrong Too lean Or 2 Advanced

Wasn't any recommended brands in there.

Also wrt to the boost gauge. Is it going to give an incorrect reading where it is? Or is it just not good to have it there.?

It's on the line that controls the fuel pressure so if it pops off for any reason then you can do some damage.

Try moving it to the back of the plenum against the fire wall just tap into the factor vac line

It will run off a nipple (har har I said nipple)

Heads towards the brake booster into a little black box.

If you cant find it send me a message and I'll take a pic of mine tomorrow

So if the timing is too retarded then the air will still be in a state of combustion during the exhaust stroke and this extra pressure that usually drives the cylinder down will begin to spool the turbo?

Why would an atmospheric blow off valve cause boost to build in neutral?

It won't.

They will all make some boost on free rev. Just not 10psi. More like 1-2psi and that's purely due to exhaust volume and turbine speed. If your ignition timing is retarded it makes the engine work harder/labour more and therefore will build more boost. Probably still not 10psi

^ Yeah from reading 10psi seems to be a bit. I can hear the turbo spooling up so I don't think it's faulty boost gauge. Builds boost gradually until I take my foot of the accelerator. Any idea? Ill try get a video up in the next day.

Still going to check the timing anyways.

Well I hope it isn't the timing being too retarded as my CAS has next to no adjustment left to advance it(Almost turned as far counter-clockwise as it can). I haven't had the time to get a timing light and really play around with it yet, just having study breaks and speculating/stressing out.

If the timing is too retarded and I can't advance it far enough, could this be due a mistake being made when the timing belt had been replaced?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
