Some of you may know I have the R up for sale and recently I stuck an FS sticker on the rear windscreen.

Ever since doing that I have had a lot of "performance" cars try and run me... not that I bite :( Notably an RX8, EVO7, Subbi Liberty, New WRX and a Corolla I think. I just like roundabouts as I power through them and the morons then speed passed me like some f*kn grinning hero who has to prove himself :)

Must be the season for try hard wannabe's or they are just trying to get my number down, who knows

:);)

I don't understand it really, I even have time to indicate out of the roundabouts. The cars in question are no match for a GTR, the drivers are dreaming.

If I can pass this car on with the dignity I retain as a member of this vibrant community then I have done myself proud as a Skyline owner.

Can I get a Ahem, heh, I think so

:P

its just the dicks up ur way, i was up that way friday arvo and was continuely harrassed by ppl to race,

some hero in a gold v6 auto gas powered VL with sick rims tried to get me to have a go for ages and some clown in a stock last model WRX also raced up behind me then next to me, this is really the first time i have experianced ppl trying to race me for a very long time, i aint got no GTR but my car would still easily smoke both these, luckily i have matured alittle over the last couple of years, other wise it would have been game on.

some times its just not worht the petrol.

nah seriously its my drive car for work and its slow, and the only thing it has going for it is the fact it has better aerodynamics due to the hail storm.. BUT i reckon id still chop everyone in this thread in it! i know GTR's and their all slow and cant handle and stuff..

Yeh it's Funny and Entertaining to see other People drag in u a Skyline... I just let them go if they try to..

I kinda think about the other Drivers on the Road.. I had New Ford Turbo 6.. Sped up n on my ass coming on the the freeway..

i didn't do anything i just moved to the other lane n continued as normal :-) but when i'm on the Track on a Track Day it's a different Story :D

lol

me and a mate were on our way to barbagello drifts just today. this legitimate bogan looking lunatic probably in his 40's, in a stock vt v6 ute sped up beside us and said the following

"HEY MAN I GOT ONE OF THOSE.. 720 BRAKE HORSE POWER..." (was in an r33 gts-t)

"oh yeah? you going to the drifts?"

"NAH MATE...IIH#$UOGHOFU&*($... THIS IS MY RALLY CAR"

gives us a wave and then floors it, gets ahead of us probably at around 70-80kmh. before i know it his car is sideways, fishtailing about 4-5 times, manages to regain control and speeds off.

far out couldnt stop laughing, was one of the funniest encounters ive had.

      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...
