So, more shit ordered for Brad to keep going on this for me...

Starter motor should arrive by Friday at my place for it.

Also need to give a big thanks to Chris from Craved Coatings, many moons ago I sent him a heap of crap and went "Do stuff with it yeah?", I did tell him that I had no rush for it, as it was going to be a long project, and I emphasised this (When you actaully want stuff quickly he turns it around quickly!) but I got my gear back, and it looks SUPERB!

I'll get some photos up of his stuff soon.

I've had Chris do a few bits and pieces now, and his work is ALWAYS superb, at good prices! Seriously, send him your shiznit for powder coating!

So... I told you all Craved returned some parts to me... He did an excellent job...

I've also got the new ECU in... Just waiting on the loom so it can be wired up.

I've also been playing with the headlights and trying to clean them up... Might have to send them away to be profesionally done though... Yay... More money... LOL

I also bought the starter motor that was required so Brad can start modding the steering rack...

I think he's lost his camera too :P

We did find out though, that custom extractors are the ONLY way to go... Yay... More money... LOL

From what Brad has told me, and others have seen as well, the Ls1 and T56 are in and mounted. Last I heard te mounts haven't been 100% welded as Brad was waiting on the starter motor to make sure he only had to mod the rack and not move the motor further.

Wirin loom should turn up to him in 2 weeks time and just need plugs put on it.

Once it's mounted I understand we'll then be waiting on the front half of the tail shaft to be made. We spoke and decided on a 2piece shaft.

So, I gave myself a birthday present of a day off work, and decided to head up to take some snaps so Brad didn't need to worry with photos.

Holden thought of the R33 when they made this sump... It fits perfectly...

Supposedly a cat lives here...

I'm going to need to change this

This will cause issues...

See... They do fit...

Just...

Although, it does sit nice and low...

At least I can get to the gearbox bolts easily...

Because of how well the sump fitted the cross member, it's staying where it is, as you can see, it could be shoved back a bit, but that sump is such a good fit!

The shifter works out in nearly the standard location, slightly rearward, but because of the height of the box, the trans tunnel will need a slight mod around the shifter hole to allow the box to sit up all the way.

The back of the box still needs to go between 1 to 2 inches higher when it gets bolted up properly, so the motor will tilt slightly further forward. Even more clearance... :D

As to the rack, it actually needs to be moved to the drivers side a fair bit to make it fit. It's majorly in the way... A bit more obvious in person.

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
