So I recently purchased a 92 R32 GTR and had it shipped to me. I was told it was mostly stock besides intake/exhaust. After getting the car I found that's not the case. So onto the problem, when the car makes boost it hold good up to 1 bar but after it goes over that it will cut out. the once or twice iv messed with it the make sure it wasn't a fluke the highest reading I saw was over 1.5 bar. I'm not sure if its cutting out because the fuel cannot keep up with the added requirement or if the boost is cutting out. I has the stock boost solenoid removed and both those lines cap'd off. So am i right to think it should be running off the turbo actuator pressure? When I rcvd the car it was also bone dry on fuel and i had to drive it on E to the local gas station. Maybe a clogged fuel filter?(already ordered a new one) any direction to look before I start ripping the engine apart would be great.

Side notes:

-The actuators look like they have been upgraded to HKS ones but the compressor housing still says garret

-I do know its not safe to run that much boost on stock turbos if they are stock.

Known mods:

HKS Actuators

HKS cam slider gears

Apex intake

Tomei Cat back

Some dumb hyper ground system

Stock boost solenoid delete(not sure about this)

Greddy boost gauge

step one - stop smashing that level of boost.

your gonna lean it out and kill it fast.

fuel blockage will not cause high boost, plumb the lines back into the actuators/ boost solenoid properly, if you don't know whats going on put it back to stock and get it right. it might just be bleeding to nowhere and free boosting

I'm not retarded I only did it twice. first time testing the car and 2nd time making sure it wasn't a fluke.

I'v already started ripping it apart to go as stock as i can but it did not come with the stock boost solenoid so I'm just replacing vacuum lines and making sure they are properly clamped. Also I plan to test the turbo actuators while i have it apart.

Well Figured everything out. The over boost issue was improperly routed vacuum lines and after I correct them she started running on waste gate pressure. I have since installed a electronic boost controller also. The cutting out at high Rpm's was the combo of Coil packs and installing a smaller gaped spark plug. Thanks for the advice.

    • 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. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
