I just taped the wires, didn't get out the multimeter or solderer coz I'm sh*thouse with LX and will probly more harm than good. Call out auto sparky?

Again happy to help but not in the car park for pulling it all apart. If you can get into a covered area (friend w/shop - m mates place etc) ill come over and rip it all out. May need a good day or two.

Im thinking check the engine loom and remove rear seats to get to the fuel pump controller. Also can check pump.

theres one more...i hear he is a top bloke :whistling:

I call BS!!!!!!!!

Well it looks a tow job to m'mates place unless anyone has a better idea or offer. So I guess while it's there and in pieces we might as well get as much of it's 100k service done at the same time as possible huh? So guys, what do I need to start buying up?

Filters: fuel, oil and air filters done.

Belts: p/s, fan, water pump, timing.

Fluids: oil, coolant, trans, p/s.

(Mainly @ Boss)- what of these can we do easily with the parts out that you suggest inspecting and what am I missing? ..does that make sense? :P

Thanks guys.

Jesse.

well there would be no point changing ur p/s, fan and ac belt's till u change ur timing belt, tensioner's and water pump.

because if u just change them belt's u will just have to take them back off to do the rest.

so if ur thinking about doing it do the timing belt,tensioner's water pump and the other belt's the rest can be done a little later

Cheers Whitenight27, does anyone else have any suggestions? I figure while we've got our heads under the bonnet, we do whatever else we can. I'll have to book m'mates place for a few days and storage, thank farrrk for tax return soon huh??

Hmm if you're going to take that much time then I would be doing the heater hoses, intake manifold gaskets and probably turbo side gaskets (pretty sure I heard a leak on that side), all the vacuum hoses that you haven't be able to get to, genuine Nissan timing belt, get the idler/tensioner from Statewide Bearings (look through the R32 Collection thread for the part numbers), genuine RB26 water pump (not N1), new genuine standard thermostat.

P/S, alternator (is also water pump belt) and aircon belt can be done later and rather easily so no need to waste mmmates place time on those.

Thanks for all the advice guys, all this being said would we suggest getting this done in a shop? What do you think Boss? Also, any clues on how much that'll cost(not talking about whatever issues I'm having right now with it) and what are recommended Nissy mechanics about?

Cheers again.

Jesse.

Sorry new job = less time to visit here.

Are you planing on taking the motor out? This will vary the cost and time.

Can do a weekend on it if you get it in cover. one day to do the service the next to find the elec prob/finish off service. I good with everything but the timing belt change. While i know how to do it i have never done one.

Cheers

What are the pros to taking the engine out? I'm sure my vacuum lines that I can't get to are buggered, not sure about anything else. I guess it's worth it just for piece of mind if nothing else, and to make sure I don't need to worry about much for a while. I'm not sure Ross is the answer, what do u recommend doing? Do I spend a bit more now and attempt everything or just get it going then tackle the service? More logical in one hit huh?

if you take the motor out it may take longer than a weekend. personally i would do this on an older car but only if i had my own/friends shed so i dont have to rush getting it done. If you havent got time or said space now do what can be done with the motor in and try and get everything else done once you have a free space.

on the other hand if you can get a few people together who collectivly have done all this you may get it done in one swoop easy.

if u do take the motor out take the box off as well and check the rear main.

timing belts are not that hard u just have to make shore u get it top dead center and not have any thing move on u. it is a lot easier to do with the motor out u have more room to see what ur doing.

Hey all, I've been told to do a compression test as the symptoms apparently represent those of a done gasket. Do you guys agree and does anyone know how to do this? A mate told me it's a fairly easy test I should run before spending big bucks.

Any(more :P) help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Jesse.

Hmm, I see. This sucks. :P I'm going to have to just book it in somewhere I think, somewhere with a scantool and preferably somewhere with an autosparky on site, can anyone recommend such a place? This is my last resort unless you guys can suggest anything? I just want my car back!! :'(

if you can afford it there are a few places but they all have big $$$ to have the work carried out and i did mention a few places too you and i know boss and bubba would know a few others

Edited by Nak

Yeah I remember you mentioning a few places, I think I'm out of options though so this is the direction I'll have to take. What were the names of them again? Was there a place in Ozzie park? The closer the better as I'll need to truck it there. Also Nak, what sorta numbers are we talking about big $$$? Will 1500 cover a service and diagnosis do you think? I know I'm being presumptious asking these questions but I was just wanna get a rough idea to work with.

Thanks for the advice Peeps.

Jess.

    • 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
    • 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...
