Hey guys,

I would like to re-introduce myself to the ACT SAU peeps after a 4 year hiatus on anything Nissan.

I'm Karl, and have recently purchase a black 1999 RS4S Stagea. Back then, I used to drive a 'violet-ish' (?) R33 and sold it to someone in Northside.. and since then did the Toyota scene..

I live deep in the south, Banks, and have see a few skylines down here..

Pics to come..

Look forward to the banter.

Cheers.

Karl

Hey guys thought I would just share the positive experience i had with a panel beater here in Canberra.

I tip my hat off to Chris and his team at The Body Shop smash repairs in Geelong St, Fyshwick.

After being less than impressed with my insurance company with their lack of communication, I finally dropped off my Stagea with Chris on Monday morning and received a call on Thursday (yesterday) saying it was good to go at lunch.

The work needed was the scrape on the rear bumper (insurance) and the repair of the existing damage on the front lip. Chris mentioned there was previous work on the front which he tidied up, fixed the crack and stone chips and resprayed - all for a cash price too. He also included a quick clean and polish.. which seemed to go to waste as it decided to bucket down on the drive home.. mind you, if I wasn't babying the Stagea down every driveway and hump in the road I may have beat the rain.

I'll post pics tonight.

So there's my 2¢ on his shop.. I would recommended without hesitation.

      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.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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...
