i think there was too much limiter bashing, it was horrible, and is not cool at all.

i was only bashing my limiter off the line this time ! so don't look at me to much, i have to get some heat into my tyres :cool:

the first time i took my silvia out, i was quite enjoying bouncing it off the limiter around the track, i quite enjoyed it too, the only reason i don't do it now is cause iv'e spent too much on the engine :sweat:

My problem is I either leave it in first and smash the limiter, or I switch to second then try and ram it back into first when I reach the cone. I've already had one gearbox blow on me, and they're nearly as expensive to replace as the engine!

Same problem in mine. It's frustrating being in 2nd and almost hitting the limiter but the next cone is not far enough to make it worthwhile changing up, so it's a constant pace to the next cone :cool:

Why do I get the feeling that was a jest at me :banana:

Kez do u double / heel toe into 1st gear? Makes it a hell of alot easier on the gearbox and to get the thing into 1st :D

I don't even know what you're talking about so I'm guessing no, lol.

And Ryan, that's just cruel!

When you go down a gear, as you hit the brakes with your toe you use your heel to blip the throttle to match the revs so it goes in smoothly.

It's very easy and a reflex action when you get used to it

Agreed, practice makes perfect really... when I was learning I took the long way to/from work just so I could get some more mileage through corners.

Once accomplished Kez, aim to double clutch heel toe which will not only stop the jerky downshift, but will save your synchros a lot. This involves what Hamish described but you let the clutch out in neutral as you blip, then clutch back in before selecting the lower gear.

Good guide I learnt from:

I learnt just doing it while I was driving around town.

I.e. RoundABout's etc

start by learning to blip the throttle without worrying about the brakes

you will quickly learn how much you need to press it to get the revs matched

then you can learn to do it with your heel (or you can also roll your foot like I do with my size 14's)

      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...
