Will be flying to Geelong (3220) to inspect a car. Have no idea about anything outside perth. Flight will be landing at Tullamarine Airport. How long drive to Geelong? And how long drive back from Geelong to melbourne airport? Also will be asking seller to arrange before hand, full mechanical check including compression test etc from a workshop, and a panel beater of some sort to inspect the body. Any good places to reccommend? Also any other points i may need aswell would be greatly appreciated? And if in future anyone from vic needs assistance from here in perth then i would gladly help out

holy shit 1hr from the airport in a taxi? Here in perth one hr and u pretty much cover the whole place

um dude Geelong is not in Melbourne it's a separate town

85km

so if u taking it expect at least a $200 fare each way prob more. much cheaper to hire a car for the day

i cant find any direct flights from perth to avalon. Only conneting flights dam it! Hey RBPOWA what if i were to compensate you for fuel and your time, could you go and check out this car for me? Seems like to much hassel to fly over with my work etc. I can always rely on the full mechanical report as peace of mind but want someone to verify the paint/body rather then go off photos. But yet again could just go by what the pannel beater says...maybe im just to paranoid and fussing over nothing? lol

i think your best bet is to get the seller to pick you up from the airport an drive you around to where you need you be an drop you back off at the airport?

yeah nah i wouldnt go to geelong to look at a car. im 45mins out of melbourne.

only go through geelong to see my gf in warrnambool.

And now you have no need to do that, the by pass saves a shyte load of time, especially in peak hours.

And you also only have two freeways, last time i went over there i got a hire car (went over for a mates wedding so didnt want to rely on him for lifts everywhere) 15-20 mins from the airport and i was in the outer suburbs sotr.

Maybe try a shuttle bus from the air port, if you can get it one way it will atleast save you half the cost, or maybe see if he will meet you halfway, say werribee or hoppers crossing, another option is a hire car, get a cheap one for $35-40 for the day, come over in the morning have a look at the car and maybe go see somethings around melbourne before flying out later that night.

      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)?
