More pics.... clearly the Type J front bumper and the vertex aren't are good match... and considering the vertex bumper we received was about 2 inches out of meeting up with the panels when mounted... might be a blessing in disguise.

you guys can make up your own minds about the quality of the guards n bumpers :blush:

needless to say there's gonna be a bit of work left before it all starts looking good... and unfortunately a bit of fibreglass and bog to go with it.

There's alot of space under the guards now..

What offset/width Work VS-XX's?

Theres nothing worse than wrong offsets :thumbsup:

wheel offsets are 9.5" width with -10 offset up front and 10" width with -16 offset at the back. although that's tentative... I haven't ordered the outer bands for the wheels from japan yet... will be ordering them to suit the width of the car so it just sits a couple of mm outside of flush. Being a 3 piece its really handy cos you can alter the width to taste.

WOW - thats ummm ..... nasty?

atleast the extra work will ensure it looks great, but will cost you a bunch to do.

if you can, get lots of pics of the prep work to make them work, always interested in new techniques for fixing this sort of stuff.

indeed... luckily I actually work for the shop (well used to while I was in melb) and I've seen worse kits come in on cars, and go out looking really good, so I trust that the work will get done properly.

Chris, I actually wanted to talk to you about gettin some stuff powdercoated, specifically the brakes, engine covers and wheel centres. PM?

Oooooh details on the bonnet?!?!?!

sorry the one pictured in the first post isn't the one I ended up getting. Updated now.

Got a D-Max copy bonnet in the end from Viva Garage. Driver side of the bonnet sits 1cm above the guard compared to the passenger side which sits flush. will have to cut away at it in places to make it sit flush on both sides.

here's the original in CF:

wow i cant believe you keep buying this stuff off viva as the fitment of the pieces isnt getting any better.

i had one of the type J front bars. took a bit of work to make it fit. had to pull the sides in about 100mm each side and cut a bit out of the back of the sides to i could turn my wheels. once it was painted up it looked really good. at-least for 12 hours until i smashed it up big time on a ripple strip. i would defiantly buy another one as you dont see them very often.

should look really good. keep it up.

      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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      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...
