Bought the mag last night.

Looks pretty good for a 4 door, but the article says you did it on the cheap, (tight budget) but bought the car for $5000. It must have cost you a bomb to get it to the point it is now, so how can it be anything cheap.

I just finished a conversion and I know what that cost me and it wasn't what I thought it would be.

Anyway, good looking gadget it is, must be fun to drive, I know what mine is like with just 140.

Cheers, D

Unfortunately I didnlt get a say in the writing of the story, I bought the car 9 years ago for 5 grand!

Everything on the car I have done myself except for a few things like the exhaust and tuning.

Being a wualified Panelbeater, painter and mechanic, the cost of labour was never an issue.

And yea.....it is heaps of fun to drive....it get sback out onto the track this sunday, the car has not seen a circuit event (besides drift events) for around 4 years now, so hopefully it will return some good times.

yeah... i was thinking the same thing and didn't want to be the killjoy, but now that someone else has said something....

Posting the article up here means that people who would have gone out to buy it, probably won't bother buying it now.

If people want to see articles on particular vehicles, this is going to be reflected directly by the number of units the magazine sells when certain vehicles are featured.

If they sell less magazines when certain cars are in there, (because people are scanning articles instead of paying for them) the magazines will stop featuring those sorts of cars because they don't sell enough copies.

Maybe you should consider taking the pics down (at least until the issue is no longer available in stores) so that people go out and buy it.

.....otherwise they'll just say to themselves "we featured that 31, and sold 2000 less copies, let's not do that again!"

Yep, I had never thought of that.

I have taken the pics down, dont want to cause any problems.

Yea....the photographer gave me a disk with the photos on it.

And for our first wedding anniversary, Kelly got a huuge poster made up and framed with a few pics of the car on it!

You realise that article is copyright? It's not yours to simply distribute as you please.

Do you not think that maybe a pm about this would've been more appropriate?

Great idea K :) this is what i did for our anniversary :)

No. It is a matter that ALL forum members need to be mindful of. And I said it because a moderator didn't / couldn't / wouldn't.

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      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

      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)?
