good to hear that it was a simple fix, but you need to be a little careful with just putting it straight to the chassis. Does the fuel pump still turn off after a few seconds when you turn the ignition on (but do not start the car?)

In a lot of these systems the ECU uses the earth to turn off the fuel pump when the ignition is on but the car does not start.

If your fuel pump does not turn off (may be hard to hear), you need to add a relay where pin 85 goes to the original ECU earth to the fuel pump (12v can come from any ignition switched source to pin 86). Then connect the old fuel pump earth to pin 30 and pin 87 then to the chassis earth.

Yeah made sure it turned off! It's all good, love an easy fix!

Bought R33 brake calipers, an new K&N pod and heat shield, autometer carbon oil pressure and boost vacuum gauges, clean the AFM wire thingy ( yes i know, a very technical term) and fired a set of Pirellis after only 4k of driving. I love my new Stagea.........

Fitted a set of XYZ coilovers and adjusted the height to something a little more front bar friendly and dropped to car off at the panel beaters to have the dolphin bar replaced with an Autech one.

So... The Stagea got picked up by my mech yesterday, still running on 5 cylinders (not surprising, since I've barely looked at it in the las couple of weeks), and in it went for the new BOV and ignition coil loom.

Got a call from the mech when he was taking the car back to mine, letting me know it was still running rough, but he was going to give it a good run back to my place to see if that could defoul the plugs (They are only about 25km old). Turns out the Highway was bumper-to-bumper, so I got another call after he'd dropped the car off letting me know it was running worse...

Apparently he was going to scoot over to my place today to put a fresh set of plugs in it, but either way I'll take it for a drive in the morning and see what happens. It's booked in for tuning on Wednesday, and I am non-negotiable about having it runnnning cleanly before then.

14 months and counting now...

Not sure if the C34 guys know about these, but at such a cheap price; what could possibly go wrong?

Just took mine for a small 200-odd km road trip, loaded up with about 200kg of tools and my father-in-law (nuthin' suss...). I'd forgotten how much grip this thing has, I smoked the gorge about half-way through the trip, much to the chagrin of the a-hole who'd spent the better part of 40km wedged up my exhaust pipe.

There may also have been a minor drift around a downhill, off-camber 55km/h corner.

Father-in-law now wants an M35, although he did ask me if I'd noticed how much the rear end looks like a Volvo...

Looks interesting, I wonder how much of an improvement they make? So the stock joint bolt up to these, bit like a spacer?

I've used roll centre adjusters before, they make quite a difference on lowered cars; correcting geometry of the lower control arm.

Those are seriously cheap.

Are you still using the same Sydney workshop that you were using ages ago, Micah - the one on the Northern Beaches? From your continued experiences, it might be time to make a change...

No. As most of us know, he shut up shop and scooted: still owed me $1000 at the time.

I've been using a Gold Coast based workshop for the last few years, but I guess I'm on the hunt for a better one...

Just confirmed I got Wednesday off work, so I can be at the dyno to investigate any issues that make themselcves known this time. My fingers are crossed this time - without jinxing it, theres very little left that can fail now: I've replaced almost everything! Lol!

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.

      This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out.

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
