Any technician/mechanic/engineer will have to undergo extensive training to work on the VR38DETT since it bears no resemblance to the RB from the ground up.

How difficult will it be for such an engineer/mechanic at our existing trusty workshops to get trained-up & feel competent to diagnose problems on the VR38DETT, let alone rectify issues and then service them?

Since so few mechanics at so few Nissan dealerships are being trained-up around the country now, how much in-demand would they be, if a few defected and went to a couple of our trusty workshops?

And even if a mechanic didn't leave his boss's dealership (despite even a personality clash), how tempting would it be for him/her to do after-hours work on a VR38DETT?

At what stage are we in with this game of 'chess' between Nissan Dealership CEOs and trusty workshop CEOs to obtain parts, tools, diagnostic equipment etc for the new 'beast'?

I've :worship::):) ed on too long already - I know. Tez

If it's of any help the service manual is available online now, but I guess the real issue would be experience on the ground. How many cars are coming into australia next year? It's only something like 200 or 300 right?

Diagnostics is a new ball game though isn't it?

And if I were a Nissan mechanic on 'not very high rates of pay' I'd be awfully tempted to do work on the side...

so long as I wasn't sick of seeing cars at the end of the day/week

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
