Going to go with some gloss black for now and see where to go from there :( Don't want too many different colours in there, probably 3 max. Just have to figure out what I want to strip and spray then go from there. Won't take long I imagine, just going to take some elbow grease.... as it was, took me just over 2 hours to sand back the belt cover heh.

The previous scheme i had in there was better. I regret spraying it again. The first time around it was silver engine with black plenum, blue hoses and blue cam gears and that looked a lot neater. Ahhh the benefit of hindsight. Oh well you live and you learn

This is my fourth year owning mine and they are a pleasure to drive, however be prepared to spend the coin and fix them and budget for it. Buy one which already has had the work done to it, locally would be ideal because most motors need to be rebuilt now days and it will save you alot of cash. Get the car checked over from a good workshop and just ask people if they know the car, the Perth GTR scene is pretty tight and most cars are known and the condition they are in ect.

Hey Travis, found out the other day that cannot get heat resistant gloss paint... Damn. Aparrently it's all Matte. Sanded back the timing belt cover, used some heavy duty degreaser and cleaned it up, primed it and then sprayed it on the weekend. I'll post some pics up tonight if I get a chance.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
