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 :) )

I have pictures of EVERYTHING! LOL. Like to keep my work documented.

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've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • 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
