I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out the problem with my skyline. I recently just swapped a RB20DET NICS version into my R31 skyline, and when i did the conversion i also added a FMIC. The engine used to run fine before the conversion and the FMIC but now it has problems with the boost fluctuating all over the place. In 1st its fine cause the boost only goes to about 4 psi but in 2nd and above the boost can jump all the way to 10 psi and then immediately drop to 0 straight after while im still accelerating. Im 99% sure that all the sensors are wired in correctly and i have no bleed valve so the boost should be standard ( 7psi i think). I cant figure out whats wrong, so hopefully someone can shine some light on the situation.

I haven't taken it all the way to redline in 1st yet but it feels as if it would make it all the way to the maximum standard boost, but the gearing is different so the load is not as high. The boost solenoid is connected so i should have standard boost. The only other thing i can think of is the boost sensor which operates the standard boost guage in the dash, which i removed to fit an aftermarket guage, but due to the wiring i assume this has no input to the ecu

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
