When we were on our European trip, our tour guide told me since EU is established and ppl move freely within the EU, most accidents happened on the motorway was cos some poor old bugger from the less advantaged part of the EU was driving his rattling old Lada in the left/fast lane (they drive on the other side of the road than here) and get rammed up from behind by those Porsche/Audis/BMWs/Mercs...

our bus was always on the 1st (right) or middle lanes doing around 130km/h, and often we have cars thundering by on our left at 160km/h, with occasionally super ones like the RS4 or Porsche goes ballistic probably over 250km/h no worries.

apparently the Bracks government might use this example to enforce another thousand of speed cameras in Victoria.

same administration really... they are both as obsessed as each other in making money from driving/parking infringements....

i wouldn't even mind if they'd just admit that its blatant revenue raising.... its the assumption that we are all too stupid to work it out that gets me!

That is a massive number of cars, but no-one seriously injured. Some of the cars looked like they'd taken a big hit too. Was it due to well engineered, safe cars, well designed safety features on the roads itself or just pure luck?

The tow truck drivers of the area would be pretty happy and smash repair places too. Insurance companies on the other hand...

      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.

      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...
