Gah, that sucks but it's not the end of the world. It is possible to repair rust in chassis rails. You will need to have it engineered, but it shouldn't be too much of a headf**k.

That is, of course, if you have no recourse against the person you bought it from. Was it private or thru a dealer? If private then you don't have a leg to stand on (unless he supplied the RWC - you will then have to go after who ever supplied the RWC), if thru a registered dealer then you should be able to get your cash back (even if outside the 30 day warranty period as it is a chronic problem that must have been affecting the car prior to you purchasing it).

GL with it!

Yeah I posted one page back but that was through our mechanic, took it to a proper body shop that's been in the business for over 30 years and he just looked at it and said its f**ked and you're a f**king idiot for buying it. It has rust in the front strut towers, all throughout the floor pan and in the boot as well, its too big of a job they have all agreed and a new chassis would be the only way to continue. It was bought privately from interstate (NSW) without a Roadworthy/Pink Slip, it has gotten pink slips in the past which is incredibly dodgy as without a doubt this hasn't just sprung up overnight. Currently it's not in our name we still have the transfer papers but we have paid the money to the previous owner. Waiting on a call from the previous owners father to find out if we're getting a refund or have to take them to court. I'm tipping the latter. If anyone want's to know the outcome of what happens here and if I keep looking for skylines after this situation just let me know and I'll keep you posted.

Cheers all,

Borci88.

And if doubt get one of us to come check t out with you. Always good to go with someone who has one as they know what to look for. ( before you waste $400 for a vehicle check)

I've tried to get cars privately twice and nearly got burned both times, thankfully they only cost me a few hundred to get checked instead of the thousands the repairs would have cost. After the second I've vowed never again, it's LMCT or nothing.

Borci i rekn your best bet is to part the car out you'll pretty much recover your $7k.. going to court will take forever if you win..since from what i read you only have an old "dodgy" pink slip but i dont know how you can rely on that..? even though its a major problem over xxx period...

i mean if i sold my car with a 6 month old dodgy rwc..wouldnt mean much since its only valid for 30days regardless if its an ongoing issue your purchase wasnt based on that pink slip..

good luck anyway

      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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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...
