Car - R34 RB25DET NEO

So I got my turbo -manifold gasket blown sometime back and now have it replaced by Jez aka DVS32R from Central Coast today ( he is on SAU, name DVS32R) and all I can say is WOW, the DIFFERENCE it makes ! ! Jez is so good with his work, when I first went to have a road tune by him a few weeks ago (Nistune) he told me I have a leak in my turbo-manifold gasket from the rattle sound the car was making, and sure enough when we pulled apart the turbo today and got the gasket out, it was blown and one of the 4 nuts on the stud was missing.

Replacing that and taking it for a re-tune on the road and...what can I say - RESPONSE everywhere, and smooth as peanut butter, the car just PULLS now to redline so cleanly and quickly - full boost of 12psi on stock turbo at 2500-2600RPM...just brilliant.. Cruising off boost at 2800-3000rpm, a nice little tap on the gas pedal and I see INSTANT max boost easy as, just so excited, feels so much lighter and stronger now..

Thats not to say we had a frustration hour when the a/f ratios leaned out at some point in the tune during boost..that was aaarrrrggghh...tryna figure out what went wrong where, but reloading the old 'good map' and fine tuning that, and we are not far from perfection...absolutely happy with the result, if anyone wants a TUNE or ANY mechanical work on their ride, then I very highly recommend Jez (DVS32R) from central coast - he loves his cars and his work is top notch so are his prices..

Thank you Jez, you made my day today..Brilliant :thumbsup:

Sorry to bring up an old post, but does anybody know where to get a Mani-turbo besides off Internet websites? I hate dealing with that shite.. Like a mechanic in melb that would have some spare that I could buy one off? I figure Racepace is usually mostly gtr stuff

Oh good idea cheers! Chris from Racepace said I have a leaking mani-head gasket too though.. I don't know if the gasket itself is stuffed or if it's just the missing bolt that's causing the leak. Thanks you though I'll look tao up!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
