ok... problem fixed after months of wondering what the hell it was. my mate works at nissan in ipswich and we hooked up the consult machine thing to it. and it came up saying the KNOCK SENSOR wasn't thereor something like that. well i searched on the site for knock sensors and lots and lots of people have had the same problem with the knock sensor. i just wasn't looking for the right thing. i looked at it them this morning and one of the plugs were disconnected. how the hell does that happen, and the guy thathad the car before me had it serviced in brisbane at a nissan place and they never picked up on it.... WHAT THE. alll those months of no power. i'm going to mt glorious tomorrow with my girl... time to test it out!!! :headspin: :) :headspin:

So, howd it go?

I just got my car back from getting it tuned on the dyno, and it was having exact same problem. Hitting 4500 the power would follow the curve hitting bout 230rwhp on the first run, but on the second run would break down and lose power to about 175rwhp. If they turned the car off, and then back on again, same thing on first run, then crap from then on. After hours of checking they finally found the knock sensor loose and dirty. It seems to have fixed the problem...phew!!

Did u replace your knock sensor??

Will

hell yeah.. before it just died at 5 grand and now it pulls to 7 grand all day every day. raced my friend with a mazda 626 turbo and it beat me before i fixed it and now a beat it by about a car length over about a 1/4 mile.

Really?? 230rwhp, I was hoping for more. Ive done, exhaust, filter, boost, fuel pump, fuel computer, front mount intercooler. Although it was at 0.8bar, as it was being dynoed for tuning the fuel computer. I spose if I was to go for a power run at 1bar (still got standard turbo) then it would be a bit more attractive...

Ive got the HKS Super AFR. The apexi seem to be most popular, but Ive got everything HKS so i wanted it to match. It also has a few more rev points that can be tuned I think, built in processor ( fuzzi logic?? Im not sure the advantage) and also built in EIDS, which is an idle stabiliser to help stop that stalling problem some people get with aftermarket blow offs vented to atmosphere when drop off accelerator quickly.

    • 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
    • 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...
