My name is Steve. I have a 1997 R33 40th Anniversary.

Its got: PFC, Trust Spec M cooler, PFC EBC, Apexi pod, 18inch Volk Racing Challenge F-Zero's, Denso Fuel pump and 3 inch dump/front pipe into Trust PE2. I am currently making 202rwkw on 12 PSI. However my turbo has a leaking oil seal and a Slide highflow has been ordered. I get my car serviced by RE Customs and will hopefully get down there this Saturday.

I also have a question: My car is currently getting knock when on boost however it is inconsistent. I have turned the boost right down but still get the odd bit of knock when on boost. My question is do you guys reckon this is due to the dying turbo or is it a tuning issue?

Oh yeah I just thought I might add a picture of my dad's 2001 R34 GTR. It was imported with the help of J-spec and was complied by GT Auto. They were both fantastic to deal with. Its regretably for sale. (carsales.com.au)

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      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.
