Hey guys. I recently put a 3inch dump pipe on my r32. After installing it i took it for a spin. It felt okay. Then i came to a stop and the car revved to 2k. I tried to accelerate but it wouldnt let me go above 2k. It stalled a few times also.

1 of the nuts that connect the dump to the turbo wasnt tightened all the way because i couldnt get to it. Can this be my problem?

No

If a bolt has come loose the worst case scenario will be an exhaust leal. As it is after the turbine there is no power loss from this. I'd expect noise and possibly a tiny tiny power gain from an exhaust leak post turbo if anything

Id say youve disturbed something while doing the dump pipe. Check all plugs and pipes in the area

just search your symptoms, i couldn't even begin to explain how many times this comes up.

 

it has nothing to do with your dump but something else you have affected as said.

i just put 2000 rpm into the search, here are 10 of the 1000 which came up.

if you want another 789674653 threads search afm or cas or missfire or limp mode ect

No one knows exactly what is wrong with your car. Stop obsessing about the dump - it is entirely possible that a fault has developed in your car that has nothing to do with your dump. Start reading some of the links that Glynn has kindly provided.

to simplify the subject, a 2000rmp issue is a redflag for very common issues with RB engines. it WILL be the usual suspects. these are very easy to check and fix. the same answers will have arisen in any thread with a 2000rpm missfire/ hesitation.

 

have a read in the threads about what they found how they found them and how they fixed it.

 

when i had the issue the solder inside the afm plug had deteriorated, going over bumps gave me my issue, they could have dried ages ago over time and you dislodged it when you took the dump off. check the plugs, maby resolder them... there is a link somewhere... i know i posted one when i hit the issue.

but there is nothing the dump can do within reason to cause the issue your having now. dont look for unicorns when you find horse poo,

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      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
