im sure your wealth of knowledge and performance part collection that you wont have any trouble. :D

Mick, that is awesome. So pumped to see somebody put the effort into such a tidy track GTSt. Then you have Bens cool Targa GTSt... i have to lift my game to make sure my little slug keeps pace with the other GTSts in the build

Yeh, lol thats the problem. I am good at buyign shit and talking shit. But none of it ever makes its way onto my car or makes the car quicker :)

That said, SO pumped, hoping to be able to post up the old girl with her new paint, kit, turbo setup, exhaust and intercooler, brake setup, suspension, wheels, interior etc. Have had to park it since October 2007 to afford all this crap but pretty excited. I am betting the car will be slower then before... :D LOL usually the case when i fark with something that was not broken :)

I need to come up with a cool sticker for the bootlid that says GTSt Evo II as just about every performance part i have put on the car during the first 7 years of ownership has been replaced the past 12 months so constitutes the second evolution for the car :)

Cheers for the comments guys, and yeah now the fun of putting it back together. I plan to get some double bed blankets from vinnies and lay it over the interior to make it a little less painful when i drop a screwdriver or something :)

Plan to do as many track days as i can this year and then put the 30 in at the end of the year

Will post pics again once the brides, new nardi, pfc and nismo diff go in. Injectors are mostly done, put new plugs on etc just got to wire in the gtr resistor pack.

Roy, how long untill your car is ready, even just some progress pics :) and as far as commitment to the gtst goes im just trying to keep up with you!

So Ben / Mick...how mcuh weight does it really save and once the carpet is back in how much louder is it?

Roy, as you see I didn't start with a stripped shell so I didn't get the bitumen off the firewall etc, but I measured just under 9kg, about the same as swapping a std bonnet for a GTR bonnet, so worthwhile in my opinion. I don't run carpet, so for me it was mainly to clean it up for aesthetics with the bonus of a little weight. I figure if I'm chasing 2 and 3 kilo savings by using lighter wings etc, then 9kg for a few hours work is well worth it :P

How much noiser? No idea yet, haven't driven it, but since I'm always wearing a helmet, it won't worry me.

Roy, from memory it was about 13kg in total weight removed when i did mine. I dont have the carpet back in mine, with a cheap brand of tyers on the road its not too bad. Its when you hit a rock or in my case have to travel down 3k of dirt road that its loud.

If anyone hasn't come accross my build thread yet for my 32 heres the most recent shots. Just building it to mainly run hill climbs and tarmac sprints. N1 bottom end, gtr-s turbos, tomei head and dry sumped. Can't wait to get it finished.

Troy, might not be a good idea if you want to use the 32 as a daily when you come back. From all reports the removal of the deadening makle the car f'n loud! Especially with semi's on

ear plugs will fix that :)

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
    • 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)?
