Hey forum how are you guys? Your expert advice are needed by me again. Here is my dilemna I need the weight of my car to put into a g-tech pro in order for it to work, I weighed my car at a weigh station and the person told me it weighed 3200 pounds I find that hard to believe as when I check this forum I get the standard curb weight as 3064 now add me at 240 pounds 3.5 inch ss exhaust upgrade, front mount intercooler, and then all the extras like hid ballast, extra gauges, ss turbo manifold, and a full tank of gas I would say the car to be closer to 3500 pounds. Can anyone tell me if I my guess is correct and that weigh station is just bogus or are my calculations that off.

R33 gtst is supposed to be 1370kg for manual and 1390kg for auto.

3200lbs = 1454kg

you wighed the car with you in it?

240lbs - what a unit!

LOL :P

lol 240lbs that what i was thinkin, pretty big guy?

i would think the weigh station would have been most correct also

Lol Lol yea I am pretty big but not Fat!!!! :P Drag over here is pretty primitive have a nice smooth track and all but no timing mechanism so getting a time would be near to impossible thats why i bought the g-tech. Yea but thats what I am saying 1370 kg is 3020 pounds and thats stock now with me in the car an extra 110kg (240 pounds) plus a full tank of gas say basically 20 gallons that should be like another 68 kg(150 pounds) and the weight of the stainless steel 3.5 inch exhaust 9kg (20 pounds) and the intercooler 2 kg(5 pounds) plus the little upgrades like hid lights,boost controller, extra gauges adding to about say about another 9kg(20 pounds) pounds in total. By my calculations thats 1567kg (basically 3500 pounds) or is the curb weight inclusive of people and gas?

on the rego it says 1360 kg tare weight. For r33gtst.

but when it was weighed 2 years ago, for engineers cert @ richard grdusiac's @ penrith, at a public weigh station in minto, after i had a full bodykit and fiberglass bonnet put on. It came to 1440kg. I was dumbstruck? what i was looking at on rego and what i had after the weigh in were worlds apart.

What are some of your other mods that would contribute to the weight gain like stainless steel exhaust and fmic. So Basically what you are saying is that my calculations are probably correct and the car is closer to 3500 pounds than 3200 pounds with me in it and a full tank of gas?

      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

      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...
