heres the deal, when i got my car (180sx with rb20det) it read the boost pressure perfectly... as of yesterday it only reads vaccum, and the gauge stops when it hits 0... i have replaced all vaccum hoses, checked for leaks, installed another boost guage on a different line with same readings, my greddy profec b2 reads the same aswell...... im stumped as to what it could be...

any help would be greatly appreciated..

is it still making boost, how does it feel to drive?

yep it boosts up fine, just took it out then... my profec b2 gave me a readin of 100 (which in psi mode means 10 i think..) seems strange now that it works again.....

one thing i noticed is the bov doesnt open as easy as it used to.... will hook up my normal boost gauge tomorrow and see what it reads....

dont bother with a stock gauge.

cant trust it  :D

sounds to me like its ok though now :D

Maybe you didnt mash your foot hard enough to the floor :P

hehe maybe i didnt.. :blink: ahwell its all looking good now *wipes forehead*.

will give another run tomorrow just to be sure. and ill have a mate with me so he can watch the gauge so i can watch the road ;)

reading 100? that sounds like 100mmgh which will be like 1psi.

are you sure its "boosting" ok ?

yeah it boosts up fine, like the day i got it.

in the profec b2 manual it says that in PSI mode 10psi will display as 100. (i have already set it to PSI mode)

    • 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
