Hi all

Well it has been a long time coming but I finally have something. Purchased an Evo 7 and collected it today so have only just got in from being out in it.

I am very happy with it and the refined performance is awesome.

Few people to thank though. The dealership I got it from were really good and I am recommending them to anyone considering purchasing an import. They are Southern Special Vehicles located on the corner of Huntingdale Rd and Princes Hwy in South Oakleigh. Family run business who have a definate focus on customer satisfaction. Guy I dealt largely was Mark. He knows of SAU and has some rex mates so if you do read this mate, thank you :mad:

Ferni, thanks for the GTR advice a few weeks back, much appreciated.

Nigel at Racingline, thanks for showing me ALSGTR and taking the time to advise on this, looking forward to bringing it to you eventually for some bits

Snowy for the advice and suggestions on Evos

James who actually test drove this one and put the idea of a blue 7 in my head and suggest I go and have a look (was chasing a white 6 for a long time).

_800STED or however Matt spells his username! Excellent insurance deal from Shannons and put time in researching cars for me, thanks mate :P

I am sure there are others so thanks also. :dry:

Looking forward to doing some track work and DECA in it.

Few pics:

Damn thats nice Alan. Thats the way i'm heading after the WRX....bring on the Yellow 7!!! (i'm about 6-8 months from getting one)

Can you pm the insurance details?? ie. any probs wth Shannons, price and the like :ermm:

Was there any more 7's at that place?

Saw this car in the flesh i think (unless SSV just imported it in for you) - sounded awesome - thought it was marks car, but he said it was part of the stock at SSV. Sounded bloody orgasmic! Congrats on the purchase!! :ermm:

LOL! Thanks for all the feedback guys.

ABuSD - Its an import in via Sydney as SSV dont yet have the compliance. They have a very nice yellow one also which I believe will be there compliance car to be tested. I also dont know a great deal about these cars and look forward to learning more about them.

Dezz - No worries but I will have to learn to drive it first before I scare any passengers if my g/f's reaction was anything to go by! It will now be only my driving keeping me in last place!lol

AGED - Yellow one was there and is very very nice. I am just not a yellow personality I dont think however having a yellow rex, it could be right up your street. BTW - Were you driving along Princes Hwy yesterday around 1.30pm up near the Blackburn Rd turn?

emsta2003 - Yes same car and it was Marks. He was so impressed they are putting the yellow one through for their own compliance certification. BTW - Love the avatar! Was in the UK when that happened and watched the news, bit freaky at the time but funny looking back!

Leewah - No chance of jumping ship! In fact there will be an SAU url going on it today and some other stickers if I can get them from Bec.

Thanks for all the comments guys, am off to Sandown (watching only this time) :ermm:

lol shut up dezz, not everyone quotes fast n furious like u :P

heheh, ive seen ur liberty at deca, will look fwd to seeing ur evo up against the gtr's there too.

Nice looken unit ... goodluck with the car and future modifications, which im sure are already planned :D

Al Car looks great mate.. Cant wait to see it in the flesh and see how it sounds... Never been in an Evo so will be good to see how it goes..

Well done on the Buy you have been looking for ages great to see you have finally got something you wanted :P

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
