Does it work? :thumbsup:

No, needs a rebuild.

Anyone who buys a 20 year old rb26 and thinks it does not need a rebuild has rocks in their head.

No point paying $2-4K for a engine that will blow in the near furture.

a wagon to a ute? thats a pretty big difference. I wouldnt do it.

It's kind of like, a guy dating a girl, they break up, n he becomes gay. She turned him. you dont wanna be like that do you?

Why would you go from someone with a big ass booty, to .. umm.. nothing?

Lol dude, most hilarious analogy EVER!

I used to have a VR commodore ute when they were new, and it was the most collosal pain in the arse ever. Sold it, bought an R31 wagon thant I owned for 9 years, 3 writeoffs, 4 sets of rims and a full respray. And I bought a motorbike.

Best decision I ever made; Met my Missus because of the bike, and kept her 'cos I had my povvo wagon (doesn't like showoffs), it possibly even was the inception of my little son, Evan. And of course, now own awesome black Stagea (which my missus thinks is cool)

Moral of the story: Wagons get the chicks :thumbsup: , utes get you going through a carwash at 2:00 in the morning after 5 pissed dickheads get in the tray at closing time at your local pub and refuse to get out unless you "take us home dude".

Don't be that guy :) (or get a hard tonneau cover, like I did, the very next day)

lol i've seen that happen with our audio VAN. we opened the van so we could unload speakers from a club we did sound at. we got back to the van and found two people already butt naked in the back of it.

I pissed myself laughing and said you know what? we'll unload later haha

Dale, I went to take a few snaps of those bell-shaped chillies yesterday, but my old man has already ground them into a past. I opened the jar to get a whiff - it smells damned potent!!!

bell shaped eh? That narrows it down a fair bit actually. They are either going to be habanero's or scotch bonnets. There are a bazillion different varieties of each (and probably twice that many hybrid varieties) but both are usually in the upper end of the heat range.

I would probably put my money on a habanero because the scotch bonnets are notoriously hard to grow for anyone other than a specialist, and most people cant handle the heat of them. - the bhut jolokia (also known as the Ghost Chilli, hottest chilli in the world) is a scotch bonnet...

Hey peeps!

Man, I has been busier than a one legged man in an arse kicking competition. Flat out at work, even busier at home prepping for the onslaught of festivities that befall us this time of year, as well as finishing off my new front garden and tending the buggery out of this years new chilli plants.

Sure dale. I bet youve just been trolling in the wasteland. lol. Good to see you back here. So how is your garden of eden coming along? Those fancy chillis look like absolute priders, I have some trinidad scorpion seeds that I ordered from the US last year, along with

. As you know, very fkn hot man.

I was going to grow them over winter with the aid of a heated propagation tray. Now coming into summer, I think I might just stick them in a pot and give it a go. After travelling to Malaysia and Thailand I reckon I have tasted some of the hottest chillis know to man. I was tired of sayn, not too spicy please. Crazy sweats.

Today, after 2 months of waiting (the last week and a half waiting for DOT was unbearable) I finally got to pick my new baby up.

Wow!! I'm in love. The leather is mint, sound system sounds fantastic (surprised as I'm fairly certain its all stock) and drives beautifully (my fears coil-overs would be spine shattering were unfounded it seems).

(she's the white S2)

My only complaint is the exhaust. It's mid-muffler back and drones something awful. Looks like I'm on the market for a decent replacement.

Installed digital TV tuner to Eclipse head unit

Fixed missing wire on OBD2 connector so InfoMeter would work

Swapped wires on auto shift lever so forward is change down and pull back is change up - now I don't have to look at the + & - to remind me, it all feels natural.

Vacuum and shampoo for the carpets (Qld cruise tomorrow)

Not bad for half a days work. Thanks to Jacob (my son) for helping his old man.

mine has refused to start the past week.

not sure whats wrong with it .. either starter or shift lock sensor.

Sounds like you cooked the starter, doesn't take long to kill it.

Could be your fuel pump, or possibly the immobiliser causing the original issue?

almost killed mine.

was running hard on the dyno being tuned when oil pressure light came on. investigation underneath shows hge leak from the sump.

it appears the proengines 3l adapter plate expands at a different rate to the block, resulting in the sealer breaking and a major leak.

motor out to fix the sump

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
