Hello to all,

After much talk I finally bought myself a turbo, well 2 actually! :P

Bought our new baby home yesterday.

It's a baby for sure, because it's going to cost me a small fortune (repairs and parts for compliance) before I even get to play with it (just like a baby).

It'll probably crap itself while I'm holding it (just like a baby).

Fluids all over the floor, do the wrong thing as it gets older, tantrums, etc (just like a baby)

But its mine and I LOVE IT (just like a baby)

Cheers

Thanks to all.

Took it out for a spin again yesterday, before the temp. rego permit ran out.

Something very weird going on, tramlines like a bitch with the 18' and jap spec susp (rock hard), then the back to kicks out. Very exciting at 80kmh + :)

Back wants to steer car.

Assuming it's a combo of the above and radius bushes on front being shagged.

Planning on doing these as well as the rear subframe bushes.

Does the HICAS not like big ass wheels and super stiff susp?

Not something that happened on test drives (of course), but was always it bit flighty on our fabulous SA roads system due to susp.

Any advice welcomed on this one

Cheers

Congrats on the new addition to the family!!! I recently bought a 'new baby' as well and with the 33 GTR wheels, 255/45R17s and track spec suspension it tramlines a fair bit. Never had the back try to steer the car though - apart from when I wanted it too...........

Excellant choice on car go the red emblem ;)

my GTR tramlined heaps too with 265/35/18 all round its the toe thats probably out also if its lowered the negative camber is probably like 3 degrees which causes massive tram lining. I put in a camber kit and adjustable radious rods and steering is awsome

congrats on the gtr. very nice choice.

i was looking at doing exactly the same thing and it came down to convenience of driving a finished restoration project vs undertaking a project but ill b still getting a gtr aswell hopefully sooon

I was actually looking at an R31 Coupe to start off wth, yours looks bloody nice.

It was a simple decision in the end. I really like R31's, but I've ALWAYS wanted a GT-R.

That, as well as the fact it was a pretty good deal I got on the GT-R was enough to sway me.

Thanks to everyone for their support and help. Hopefully I'll be on the road soon.

Cheers

Where did you pick your GTR up from? Looks in good nick.

The car was a private sale.

Looks can be deceiving. It's a 100,000+ km plus car with a paint job. Interior is not too bad, drivers seat bolsters are trashed. It's got some rust as well. It was an R grade auction car, interior is only C grade. I knew all of this before purchase and the seller didn't try and hide anything. Makes a pleasant change from some stuff I'd looked at.

But it's a GT-R :P And it's now parked in my garage :O:D

Cheers

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
