First car i bought, 2002 Kia Rio 5 door (wasn't old enough to drive till 2004 lol), massively stupid sound sytem and black lights in the cabbin were the only mods.

2nd car was R33 GTS-t, currently has the usual bolt onns, had the sound sytem in there for a while, now trying to sell the sytem because i'm over that scene. (still current car)

3rd car is a Maserati 3200gt 3.2 litre V8 twin turbo

4th car (future car) will hopefully be a 360 modena F1 wohooo

First car was a Holden WB one tonner. Was a great car.

Second was a VK calais V8 - worst car I've owned by a mile.

Third was a 97' Corolla as I had to drive a fair way to work and back.

Fourth car is my current R34.

My first car was a 1973 Eb1 Honda civic. 1200c of raw fury, 3/4 of the cylinders worked and it cost dad $250 with 7 months rego. Rebuilt, resprayed, retrimmed and rewired by yours truly, and sold for $450 after 12 motnsh of pizza delivery :blink:

Second and current car is a 1997 R33 series II GTS-T :laugh:

1st car 1971 HG GTS Monaro with a worked 350 Chev and 2 Speed Powerglide

nothing like learning to drive in an overpowered muscle car

that handles like something from 1971

1) 81 GH sigma. Only a 2Lt but it got a 5 speed and better diff ratio than the 2.6 4 speed versions, plus with the rebuild it got at 100k to fix the dead rings it went almost as well as a 2.6 too :P

2) S4 RX7 Sport bought for 8.8k. Basically An NA with turbo brakes, no power options and terrible wheels. It got an s4 turbo engine dropped in it after a year as the NA died. Spent 4k on the engine swap, another 7k or so in maintenance (the entire drive line was eventually replaced) and about 700 bucks on an exhaust....

3) 32 GTSt. Ended up with an rb25 in it. This is the point where mods started to get the better of me. Must have spent close to 40k on it over the years going through different suspension and wheels and turbo kits. Ended up putting it into a wall at Wakefield Park.

4) (current) unregistered S13 track car, bought NA, now turbo

5) (current) registered S13 rolling shell, it'll get the track cars old NA engine.

    • 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.
    • 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
