Alright so I'll try not to make this bland. My names Daniel, currently 18 and looking at buying my first car, and I am very VERY interesting in a skyline. I have never been interested in cars until recently and I don't know maybe my hormones for cars kicked in or something but now I'm insane about them and have spent a lot of time researching on the mechanics of cars and the back stories to popular car companies.

My other car choices are a Honda Prelude or Toyota Celica, and if I get a skyline it will probably be a nonturbo R33 since it is my first car. Either way I'll stick around and also this forum seems to be the best out of any i've seen so far.

Also any first car advice would be great.

Hey bud,

to put in my 2 cents worth - dont go for the celica or the prelude.

Just buy a rear-wheel drive car. whatever it is.

Try a N/A R31, R32 or R33 or silvia. Even an old-school 300ZX aint bad (if a little heavy)

Just dont buy an arse-dragger!!! lol

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      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.
