W00t!!!

 

Mumma (read Katrina aka Missus) just said she wants a Stagea!!!

 

Decisions, decisions...  

 

Keep the sedan, sell the Corolla, get a 32GTR...  

Sell the sedan, get a Stagea, sell the Corolla, get a 32GTR...

Keep the sedan, sell the Corolla, get a Stagea...

 

Oh the pain!!  Why can't I have all 3 :D

Obviously you have ruled out the corolla, so sell it, you NEED a 32 GTR, that just leaves the choice of practical car you need. Sedan or Stagea???? A pretty nice choice to have. I have a similar choice but I am keeping the mini now, I think, as its over 30yrs old, through the mini club I can get special interest registration and also cheaper insurance. It costs next to nothing to keep and I reckon overall I will be saving money using the mini to run around in, so cheap on fuel and will help keep the km's down down on the other cars, especially the R.

definitely.. my budget would be around $10-$15k on an engine rebuild and hopefully a full respray (stripping the car to bare shell myself to save labour costs).. That would be a "given".

But if it takes 3-4 months sitting in my garage while I stuff with it, thats fine too :D You're not paying for things when you're not driving it.

Just make sure it doesn't sit for too long. I thought the same thing with the mini, I couldn't afford to register 2 cars at the time so de-registered it and garaged it for 4 yrs. It cost me $2k just in parts to get it back to roadworthy. Must keep all rubber from drying out and cracking. Anything with fluid in it will probably be shagged ie, entire cooling system, brakes etc. Things like water pumps don't like to be idle for too long. The list goes on. The mini was only garaged 2 yrs after a complete ground up rebuild so was basically new and all this still happened to it, certainly wasn't a typical 15yr+ car with 100000km on it. Just make sure you make the build quick otherwise it will end up costing you heaps more.

jlnewton: thanks for the advice. Its not a definite, but its something I'm considering. I probably have about 2 months to decide I guess. If i did go that route, wouldn't want it sitting for too long. I'd also have to blow the existing RB26 up first :D

Street Machines.. yet to go in there, but wouln't mind looking. Heard about it, but until I drove past the other day didn't quite know where it was.. its not far away from my place actually.

      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.

      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
