no its not usual is it. theres no camber on the car ...its stock ride height. just strange also taht its only happened to the left rear wheel. the right is fine.

another theory is that i might have got a flat spot on that part a while back...and over time its just gradually broke apart

so should i replace the other rear tyre also?? the tyres are nangkang by the way.

That is not a good look! you may want to try second hand tyre places as well, you never know what you will find. you should replace both rears as tyres should match left to right. there is a second hand tyre place on abbots rd in dandenong south if that's any help. :)

Hey If i were you I wouldnt get 'cheap' tyres..

Think about it.. tyres are the only thing keeping you on the road, and with skylines they have quite a bit of power on tap, and by the sounds of it you like to use it, which isnt a bad thing, just as long as youve got the equipment to do it safely! Tyres are the best place to start.

It really gets me vented when people ask for cheap tyres.. they are one of the most important safety factors of ANY car.. Ive seen enough cars come off the road and into a tree because of bad tyres..

Is YOUR life or your friends lives worth saving a measly 100-200 bucks? Id like to think not.

Spend the extra dosh.. and feel a bit safer on the road.

extatic - yeah your absolutely right about that mate. when i mentioned cheap i didnt mean cheap and nasty per-say but more along the lines of decent and afordable. i remember seeing a thread before the data loss about discounted/cheap tyre places in melb...thats where the word cheap came in:D:D

strutto - yeah ive only tried handbrakies about 4 times in the wet....couldnt get a hang of it so i gave up. handbrakies should produce flat spots on both tyres....but not in my case.

R34GTT - i sense a hint of sarcasm there...hehe. yeah ive had these ever since the car landed and was complied which coincidentaly is about 3yrs now:D:D trust me...theres no camber!!

Autotrust- thanks....second hand tyres are an iffy for me...might appear good but u just dont knwo the history of it. but ill definitly be checkin it up when its time to go to those full-lock classes next yr:D:D

ahk cool mate, just make sur eyou stick with known brands.. and dont get sucked into the crappy ones like nankang, austyre etc..

Big names like Michellin, Bridgestone, Good-Year, Pirelli etc.. all produce top quality tyres.. jump on performanceforums and do a search, theres lots discussed there.

      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...
