Hey bud

Like buying any used car, be sure to check it out thoroughly before you buy - take your mech with you or get Stateroads to give it a good go over

That said i bought my R34 from Shane at PowerRoads, short story, because i'm from Sydney, He had the car driven up for me free of charge, while on the way up, one of the tyres blew due to a leaking valve on the rim - which took out the inner guard. He then sent another one up to me and paid us to get it replaced - he also offered to replace the rim but we were able to get it fixed free of charge so there was no need.

He's a good bloke, show him your serious to buy and he'll be serious to sell, he takes trips fairly regularly to Japan to choose several of his cars himself from both dealers and auctions. Haven't had any problems with mine so far - when i got it inspected my Stateroads, the bloke told me he was very impressed with the condition of the car saying it was one of the best he'd inspected in a long time. He said there are alot of lemons out there so to find one in the condition mine was in was surprising.

He's got a few nice cars at the moment so all the best and happy hunting =)

Just bought my r34 from him 2 weeks ago. I told him I was interested, so I got him to send the car for a pre-purchase check. Nothing wrong overall, just minor wear and tears. The whole transaction was nice and smooth lol. Shane's a nice bloke. Pretty much sums it up... Ps ask jeff from power rd to take you for a ride in his red r34 lol crazy driver

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
