Hey guys,

Little bit worried now, I went outside to find my car had rolled backwards about 2m down my driveway - in 1st gear, no handbrake, so I moved it back up but now there is a ticking noise that is consistant with revs... drives and idles ok, but there is that ticking noise... what have I done :)

Im usually so careful. I have had such a bad week at work, mabey I could have.

Oh god please dont say I might have spun a big end, it did that 6 months ago when my friend drove it. I cant afford to fix that again...

Oh, ok. Thanks for that, It was running great b4 tho, I wonder what it could be...

Oh smeg, I just had a whinge about karma in the wasteland... I dont think my run of bad luck is going to end any time soon...

Here's a general tip for life, Dont flip the bird at karma, this is not a test you should fail.

cheer up buddy. shit sometimes goes wrong. dont let it get you down. you're only compounding the problem by being miserable about it.

I had a weird screeching sound on startup that started suddenly one particular day. It stuck around for almost every start for almost three months and then last week it just stopped...? Weird.

She still runs so I'm stuffed to work out what the strange sound was...

and Dave you say you don't watch much TV but cry smeg when something goes wrong... good to see you have taste with what you do watch! :)

Does it do it really bad when its cold, but less when its warm?

Mines doing that, mechanic told me its clutch dust on the shaft of the starter motor, making it stick...

Actually, yeah it does do it more when cold. Very rarely it actually started (when warm) without any noise. The whining trailed off at about the same time I'd expect the starter to wind down too...!

Sounds credible to me, and very good to know, cheers! :(

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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
