Heya guys, I'm new around here but have been on PGA for a few years and recently as the Tech section moderator. I am in the process of getting an R34 and going into the Skyline world.

I saw this section and thought I would chuck up some pics of what I do on my weekends for extra cash!

I turbocharged my N/A N16 from scratch ( I did everything except tune it):

Manifold:

Completed engine bay with 3" air intake, custom BOV etc:

Here's a GT Starlet I recently did (Pipework, not the bodykit! :) )

I have done many other cars and miscellaneous bits'n'pieces, but these are a few I have pics of.

Hope you enjoy and I look forward to chatting some.

Sorry guys I haven't been on of late, been rather busy!

I am busy up until Jamboree, I could look at doing something for you guys after that. PM me and we can tee up some times to see what needs doing.

awesome work man

very impressed

btw jsut out of curiosity

was all the piping purge welded?

Nah mate, I haven't got all the right pipe bungs at the moment, but the inside bead is still tidy and not much bubbling. I use quite low current to help avoid that, but keeping the weld deep enough to be strong.

Do you have a spare length of air line and a Y piece?

If you do, connect the Y piece to the regulator, and run your air line to the welder as normal. Then connect your spare air line to the other branch of the Y piece. Hopefully you'll have a couple of used cut-off/grinding wheels lying round, drill the center out of one so the end of your spare air line fits snugly inside and then seal it with some electrical tape. You can then use masking tape (doesn't leave so much sticky mess) to fix the wheel to one end of the pipe your purging, making sure you get a reasonable seal. Then do the same with another spare wheel at the other end of the pipe, using the masking tape to seal up the hole in the wheel also, but poke a couple of hole through the tape with the end of your welding wire, this means you get a little bit off flow in the gas which dissapates any oxygen, and evacuates the heated gas.

The only downside with using a Y piece is you might loose a bit of flow/pressure to the welder, so just ramp up the flow on the regulator a little. The best way of course, is to use a twin regulator (which you might already be doing).

And if you knew all that already, my bad and no offence intended, but someone else might not know...

lol! I did actually know all that, but its useful information of course to anyone who doesn't know what purge welding is.

No offense taken at all! :thumbsup:

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
