Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

I spoke to the chap with the Scarab at Baskerville about 12 months ago, I was quiet interested in his lhd 280Z until he lifted the bonnet to reveal a pushrod engine were once lived an L block.

And speaking of chook cookers still for sale now with new turbo freedoms fit a D9 dozer sized turbo and cook your chooks faster

Last time I looked at these it didn't work as Scrarab wasn't connected to Datsun in any way.

There were a heap built from memory though.

What you need is a good rotary.

How many Alex seals you blow while typing that :P

Ahhh,

soo much rotor love. I'm keeping my mouth shut as I am sure any tough talk on rotors will only come back to bite me in the arse when it self destructs at a really inconvenient time. :)

For your amusement....

Cheers Woo,

i really hope it works out, but gut feel is I had a pretty lucky run with the evo and it was a robust, reliable fast car. I think I might be out of my depth with the Rotor, but I do like a challenge. :)

For anyone interested, am collecting the shell this week. In the background I have been chatting to some people in the know about the suspension. We got as crazy as looking to graft as much of an FD into it as we could, but I decided that was WAY beyond our capabilities. Have scaled back to not reinventing the wheel and doing a V8 supertaxi spec live axle rear end in it and updating the front end. Go as light as possible and try to get a strong reliable 350 odd hp turbo rotor for it..... dreaming I know. Reliable and rotor dont really belong in the same sentence:)

Really wish I was coming to THC. The missus and I had such an aweosme time last year and are both a bit sad we arent there this year. Best of luck to all those taking part. Wlll be living the dream vicariously following it on the internets.

I'm keen to come up for a chin wag at some stage but not 100% sure I'll be able to do so.

If I can make it I'll see if I can drag MrRB20 up and we can have some prelim discussions on Euro 2012 Woo.

You're not in Melb for any length of time are you in case we can't make it?

A few old Datto Z cars including Jon Siddens will be there for THC, hope they can stick it up a few 'non ABS equipped' Porkers. Well maybe they might have a chance against the 'budget', under $200000, ones :thumbsup:

      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)?
