So did a photoshoot for this s15 the other day.. The client did not want any main photos published anywhere :D

So here is the teaser pic: Probably not even allowed to post this..

OK, I took this photo of my car way back in June when we had a Sydney Stagea owner's meeting, but I only just fiddled with it in Photoshop and did a colour splash - my first attempt! I think I should really start to set aside some time EACH day so I can learn to use PS properly, maybe watch a few youtube vids, etc.

Here it is:

Nice pics of the dust storm Sidd. It was like that for 2 days straight up here in the middle of nowhere. This is what my car looks like now, and some pics from yesterday and my bros pics from work from monday. It was blowing hard enough to blow down a neighbours fence, mind you its only fibre sheet.

Constant light yes, i'm not actually allowed to tell what I used though because i'm sworn to secrecy by the owner of the light.

That is one of the shafts from site Sidd. Its also one of the ways underground via a cage that can hold 20 people.

If you google maps Olympic Dam and look at the mine site, its the shaft on the far right of site.

So are those pics (wsntm3) of a dust storm at olympic dam? I work at Boddington gold mine, no major dust storms. Though i lived in kalgoorlie for a year near a horse racing track and sometimes the storms would whip up big dust storms off of that.

And sidd, i like 5 and 7 best of those track pics.

Xmetal, i like the pic you took of the yellow car, i think the other one is a little too dark.

Whoever took the fireplace shot, that is my current work wallpaper ;)

      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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      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...
