im just weighing it up. go for something slower, more comfy and newer and slap an exhaust only on it, and never worry about it again.

or keep modding the skyline lol, il have to spend the extra cash to buy the r8 anyways. so what to do :)

Depends why you are changing, just because its newer? Or are there other factors such as work km's, lack of police attention, insurance, reliability etc. Also what do you want to do with it such as compete?

I think Phunky Monkey on here has a V8 Clubby, could be worth a PM to him but helpful to know the reasons behind wanting to change first.

whats your financials like?

Reason i ask is - If you plan to keep the hsv for the next 3 years, think about resale value, think about the trends, and think about what you would want to buy in the next 3 years (eg house).

believe it or not they are reliable cars, and even if you get issues with it you can pick up a whole commo motor for 50 bux lol

my cousin used to have a vy clubby r8. drove it once, it flies there's no doubt about that straight line very few cars stood a chance. it had 295kw from factory.

handling is a bit of meh but its not like an R33 is a go-kart....

thing is, he bought it when it first came out and payed 70 grand for it from a dealer, about 6 months later he sold it to the same dealer for just over 50Gs lol thats alot od money lost. could've got more if he went private but didn't have time and had to sell.

BUT R33s are going down in value too....

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
