Thought I would post up and say G'Day to everyone.

I have been in Melbourne for a month now and just getting settled into my new flat downtown. Man this weather is really unpredictable. Looks like I will be here through June, but wish it was longer as I was thinking of looking at importing my GT-R from the US. Have seen a couple of R33 and a 34 driving around town and makes me miss my new baby.

I have one of the early R35's on the East Coast of the US. (I am also a member of NAGTROC, myGTR.com, Lotustalk and my350Z.com) It's Gunmetal with the Cobb Access Port: Stage 1 tune. Already put 8,500 miles on it in the first 2 months for a cross country Rally (pavement only, not dirt Rally stages). The AP has given a great boost to the midrange power level and while I have not dyno'd it, I have had exchanged rides with some other new GT-R owners and everyone agrees it feels much faster and responsive in the lower gears.

Cheers mates, and I hope to run into some folks around the Melbourne area when the weather gets better (if it ever stays warm for more then 1/2 a day that is).

Thanks for the note.

I know the newbie threads tend to be ignored, so no problems there.

Australia appears to be a pretty cool place, but I have to say this weather in Melbourne is just plain strange. The temp differences take some getting used to.

Hopefully I will get a hire car and do some sightseeing around the Melbourne beaches and coastline one of these weekends. Won't be my GT-R, but will make the best of whatever car I can get ;-)

      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.

      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...
