That really is a nice colour. You need number plates with FNMINT as in flash green one eh. It's so good to see these old classics being restored. The Adelaide get together doesn't look promising for me at this stage. The car has been inspected and verbally given ok but my report is still a long way off. Once received I then have to submit it to the DPI ( Government Dept) who will then send me to the inspection station who will then give me forms to send back to the DPI. Also the union I'm part of at work has been striking for the past 11 weeks, so no overtime which normally funds my hobby. This could go on for months to come so extra money isn't forth coming at the mo.

Cheers mate, it's shit how long it takes for all that paper work to get sorted. I'm still unsure about the skynats but the Datto brother hood here in lithgow want me to go to datnats with them next year. sounds like an awesome weekend

what did the paint job set you back if you dont mind me asking?

paint cost about $800, $250 for use of the work shop/booth and $250 for the painter.

Very nice. Are you painting below the door sills in black? What engine and gearbox is in the car?

Cheers mate, sills have been blacked out with stone guard. The old girl has still got the factory L24 and 5spd box for now.

What's stone guard? Is it a paint or some kind of stick on?

I can see fender mirrors and a spoiler in your sig picture. Have you got them yet? And from where?

Saw a mint green C210 sedan in Melb today. Colour looks great.

jhr001: stone guard is a spray on type, and the sig picture is just wishful thinking at the moment. I think it needs to be dropped a couple of inches before anything else.

That looks excellent. I don't know about pearl yet, I'm not convinced it's the way to go on a street car, as it's to hard to match if it has to be later. I think it's great that some of our younger generation is rebuilding our classics and not just buying technology off the shelf like my daughter did.

And your sticking with the period when choosing your wheels. Nothing worse than an old classic with bling bling bling new wheels. And when you want to think about motors, drop me a line if you want to go efi coz I got the bits hangin around everywhere and they will go to the scrappy unless someone can use them.

As for your surprize, as it's #2 I thought you would know what causes it by now. lol

Cheers, D

I like the picture with the kids cause in 15 years you can look back and say look at the skyline when you were born.

I would have liked a picture with me and one of the skylines (3) in my family when i was born, it would have been great.

Are you planning to go to skyline nationals in Adelaide?

      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)?
