and the original GT-R was N/A which was what Scathing was probably referring to

At least one person on a Skyline forum remembers that the original GT-R was 2WD and NA.

well then you are still a twat for putting the badge off a new car onto an old car.

The post I quoted never said anything about putting badges from newer car onto an old NA Skyline, just their presence at all. I'm pretty sure the KPGC10 had GT-R badges on it from the factory.

Wow... just read this thread in it's entirety.. i think i started skimming from page 7 or so onwards.

Words escape me on how disgusting this thread is lol. I guess it's crap like this that gives SAU a bad name.

And yeah, i own a n/a skyline and love it - i've had gt-r owners offering swaps/swaps + cash my way but i still have my n/a skyline.

As for n/a skyline being labelled pov pack..that's a pretty big insult considering i could've bought a 33 gt-r with change leftover instead. There are quite a few nice n/a lines out there from all gens.

To the guy pulling 1.14's in the 32 around wakefield without FI, very nice dude.

Oh, forgot to mention i'm an n/a enthusiast.. and yes, i have owned a turbo before. Didn't really like it much but of course, that's all personal preferences etc. Was glad to get back into an n/a car.

Why were you glad?

And how isn't an N/A skyline povpack? It's far cheaper then every turbo of the same vehicle. I'm assuming you have a 34 GTS

Why didn't you swap your N/A for a GTR? Insurance? Age? Too easy to break? I'm assuming you have a 34 GTS and someone wanted to swap/swap + cash for a 32 GTR, which is a broad spectrum.

Don't read it the wrong way, I'm geniunly interested.

ohhhh yeah... I totally don't count those as skylines, and there is no turbo variety, so everything he just said is null and void.

His reason for buying non turbo is "There is no other option"

So good for him.

Just for technicality sake :P there is no R34 GTS, there are only: GT GTV GTX GTT GT4 GTR and then all the GTR spec models. GTS stopped after the r33.

I hate ppl calling R34's gts and gtst's.

The 350/370gt's etc don't need a turbo, they make similar power as the r34 AND more power than the r32 + r33 turbo models

If they did have a turbo there target market (old farts) probably wouldn't want to buy them

bit hard to say that all NA skylines are good because one that has a 3.5L NA motor is ok. it is going to spank the arse off a RB20DE r32, and rightly so. i don't mind the 350GT and yes i'm sure they go alright, but they aren't really in the picture here as they make up for their lack of turbo by having an extra 1000cc of capacity over the next most powerful NA skyline (rb30 doesn't count as it puts out less power than a rb25)

LOL :P

The neighbours (granny & grandpa) have 2 V35s, 1 sedan & 1 coupe...

The V series is more of a luxury car than a performance car IMO.

I would love to know what kind of cars we'll be driving when we get gray and wrinkly. and also what the new generation will be driving when they get to our age lol....

I'll probably be long dead by then due to disease. & you will probably find a bunch of riced cheap china cars around by then :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...
