mustve been a while since you've been SkylineGTR ...... lotsa imports around now although there are a lot of standard, boring ones around.

But yeah import owners in WA get harrassed and picked on quite a bit .... and i know a lot of people who sometimes wonder if the shit is worth having an import.

I get away with quite a bit on WA roads tho ...... but im a chick so ive got away from a 6 point fine with just a warning before and a drink driving charge and a few other misdemeanors but if your a guy they come down pretty hard they only need to suspect something.

I was reading something the other day that got me thinking. I cant remember the percentage but it was low, like less then 5% of accidents can be attributed to an unroadworthy car, ie bald tyres etc. So whats with the whole defecting / road safety thing.

And AUSTRALIA is the BEST country in the world my friend!

True

I was in Taiwan last year for work for 1 month and fark me, if u cant drive in Aus you would be 2 scared to even drive up to the local shops and back there. There is no rules, at intersections theres no giving way to the right, its everyone for themselves, and then there are streets in the main part of town which merge from a 5 lane roads to a 2 lane roads mid corner, then theres millions of little 100cc bikes which the locals drive and they just fly through and cut you off when ever they can. Traffic lights are just a novelty item, and people make left hand turns from the right lane of a 3 lane highway across all the traffic without a second thought!! The cops drive around in new Merc and BMW's there and dont really give a shit about speeding or road rules either.

ROFL.. sounds like half of Aisa is the same.

Was a pasenger with a Dutch guy over in Indo late one night. I was too drunk to realise just how drunk he was. So off we set at about 3.00am (quiet but still an alarming amount of cars on the road) down the dark dusty roads, only for him to lose it into a ditch after sliding the thing wide on the "exit of the corner":(

After a persistant 30 secconds of honking the horn, some friendly but half asleep locals came and helped push us out of the ditch. So with some Rupia flying out the window as a sign of our appeciation we blasted off into the sunrise.

I was absolutely horrified that this guy who has lived there for over a decade didnt respect anything/anyone, i was embaressed to be seen with the guy.:P

That said behind the wheel he fitted in perfectly:D

... and now when i think back to that night a laugh my a55 off. After that incident i actually got enough back bone to start driving...its actually quite liberating coming up to a red light, and instead of sitting 6 cars deep in traffic, you just start a new lane alongside the front car making it 3 abreast:D

      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)?

      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...
