G'day All,

Hey, I've searched around on these forums, and have seen several posts raving about these new EL dials for R33's. I think guys here such as pushead and scotty have these, and have read their thoughts on what they're like

Well, I found a set of these on eBay here, http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...item=2446012735

So my question is, is it worth it? Fortunately I'm in Melb too, and also have an auto........so far so good. The one on offer also, has less km's then mine too so yeah, its all good. :cheers:

Just wanted your guys thoughts before I place a bid an all.

Cheers!

Yo,

Yeah, it was me who recently bought a set, and despite my initial hesitations, I'm loving them now. :cheers:

They're a pretty funky way of ricing up your car, if of course that's what you're going for. hehe, but all in all, no complaints. Personally speaking, I was originally going to go for the simple EL dials, but opted for these instead........personal opinion I guess, just thought these were cooler. hehe :D

Hope that helps...........yeah get em, you know you want to. ;)

yah thats cool...just helping out chubby so he dosent pay to much for something that is worth much less...if u have time u could also fit it yourself.

what i dont' understand is why the normal el's get sold for like 250 bucks?? whereas these are half the price??

Hey,

Errr, my MP33's were sold aaaaages ago!! hehe, how much are they going for? Got myself a set of X14s now. How'd you know I had these???

But I digress, nah, not me, and no I'm not selling my el dials also. Sorry, I actually got mine cheap. 130 at some place in Springvale. I suggest you ask Pushead, cos I've already forgotten the place's name. I'll see if I can track it down for you. But sorry strutto, can't help you out in getting any more. I The place was going to charge me 95 to get them installed, but fortunately the the boys from JSpec helped me out and they did it for me for free!!..............boy those guys sure know have to look after their clients. :D

I am bery bery sneaky... :)

Did a search on all your posts to see where the EL's came from. Saw you had a set of MP33's for sale from ages ago during the search.

Checked out the eBay sellers other items for sale and wadda ya know... hes selling some MP33's too! Seemed like it couldn't be coincedence but hey you know what they say... great minds...

He's got them listed for $900 no reserve... Good price? Not much of a golfer myself... Stupid tiny ball makes me so cranky...

If anyone can track me down a set like the ones on eBay... I'd be most thankful and interested...

Oh, wow, that is very clever!

$900!!, err tell him he's dreaming! keke, actually if they're in a good condition, then its about the market price...... sold mine for 990 though hehe, but that was like a few months ago, so yeah, its all good. Stupid ball, yeah tell me about it, reason why I sold mine to begin with, couldnt use those ones.

Oh well, back to the topic, where's that original post? I cant find it.

Hey All,

Thanks for your input, and thanks Scotty for showing me your car. Nice ride dude, love the rims. Anyway, tried calling motorware and they don't have them for Skylines. Only for Honda Civics and the like.........Guess there's a greater rice market for these cars.

Oh well, still keen to get these, I guess depending on how the auctions go, I'll get it from there.

Thanks again all for your comments.

      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)?
