ive just finished my turbo conversion previously na, ended up quite alot cheaper than a full engine, but only problem i have now is my gear box seems a bit crunchier than normal and when i try to put it into 1st its very very very hard reverse as well, my engine idle is not normal either its around the 1000rpm mark, could this be the problem? as when the car is off and standing the gears are so easy to get into and out of, i hope i dont need a new gear box :S

Any help or advice or tips will be much appreciated

Sounds like your clutch is buggard. can you feel the tailshaft move or the dif clunk when you do get it into gear ? if you can it means the clutch is not working properly.

Did you upgrade the clutch or is it a standard NA one?

The idle can be adjusted via the aac valve - there is a screw on the side of it

i got no idea where that is lol.... but the power fc says the engines rpm isnt stable but its hovers around the 800 - 860 mark yet the tacho (original not one of them big ones) says its around 1000 rpm.... who to believe

i forgot to say that it only didnt want to go to 1st and reverse just the one time it happened after taking my car for the 1st spin after i got it back. Also it is just sometimes that its a little bit harder than normal to get into these gears. what could be the problem with the clutch? (its brand new like not even a week old) or did they not install it properly or something? (advan performance)

it happened again (the b@stard) i was in stop start traffic for about 30 mins in 5 dock (nsw) then got on to anzac bridge and it started to rain hard. i exited off to ultimo and 1st was hard to get into (after coming to a complete stop) after a while i found my parking spot to go to work (about 5.30 pm) still raining parked but couldnt reverse to straighten it up, it made huge crunching noises, even though i was at a complete stop, so i left the car parked slightly uneven. Around 9.30 went to pay the meter again at the same time while the car was off i tried to see if it would get into gear while it was off, and it did very smooth and not hard at all. Finished off at 2.45am got into the car and 1st and reverse were hard to get into but it got there, didnt crunch this time round, after a while of driving as i was going home 1st got easier to get into but reverse wasnt as easy but much easier than when i 1st parked the car at 5.30. How can a brand new heavy duty clutch (especially from exedy) not be doing its damn job! Do you reckon its getting too cold too easy or too hot or something. Ive emailed advan about it already so i'll be taking it in when they get back to me, but id like to know how could a brand new clutch do this to me, its heart breaking :P haha especially when you cant reverse park , lucky i found one that i didnt need to reverse to get into *phewf*

Just take it back to where you got the clutch installed. Have the car checked over. We can only guesstimate what the issue is, but considering you got the clutch a week ago and the problem seems to be clutch related, your best to just take it back and get a definite answer.

      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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
