Hi all,

Would anyone know why my freshly imported gtr wont spool up!

I've checked both turbo's for shaft play and how well they spin

and they seem ok!

I've also checked the wastegate's and they seem to move freely!

The car blows only a little smoke and nothing to worry about!

there are no holes in any of the vacuum lines or turbo pipes!

I'm at a complete loss!

All I can think of is the stock boost solinoid working?

Would any one be able to tell me where it is?

I've followed the actuator lines to the back of the engine but i lose where

they go!

Anyways any help would be much appreciated!!!!!!

I had the same problem with my also freshly imported r32 gtr ended up being the front turbo exhaust wheel. The stock boost control solinoid is on the driverside of the engine bay. It has to lines running to it one comes off the end of the cylinder shape and the other off the side. This one has a yellow band painted on it. If you blose compressed air thru it you should see the actuators moving the wastegates smoothly... Also check that the recirculation valves arent leaking and causing boost to be constantly recirculated. But first of all check out the turbine wheels. Make sure they are both still intact.

Hope this helps,

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
