You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Were you with shannons?

How much did it cost, relative to what the agreed value was?

Some people have suggested this actually ends up 'making' money.

Who did the job?

Did you just do the engine, or the entire driveline, suspension, etc?

Mine is auto, there'd be a lot of wiring and random junk to do to. Most/all of which is undocumented and highly shit.

I was with just cars

Full comp insured for about $15k? Bought the car back for $3k

Who did the job? do you mean who assessed it? Some company down at Dandenong, next to Wheeltech, can't remember the name

I did just the engine, so sourced a 2nd hand neo and did that up. Mine was a manual

haha so many questions...

just give to Scotty for another week...

im doing a complete suspension, drivetrain auto to manual conversion in my Cressida..

its a lot of work but couple of guys and a hoist could knock it over in a few days...

I can give him a hand to speed up the process if he wants....and look at the bright side, 1, you will profit from this, 2..now we dont have to fix all those dents in your car. so you saved more cash.....good thing i hadn't fixed it already hey .. ;)

If my car was stock i wouldn't have bought it back

Cept I did all my new turbo mods just before, and still had the Volk Te 37 wheels. So thought worst case scenrio wouldn't lose that much money

Hey its valid to ask!

Doing just an engine swap not always as easy as a more complicated (shit) swap/setup/changeover/random problem.

Re: Tony, meant who did the whole engine swap job itself. Though if you bought your car back for 3k, why did you get another engine for the car you were transplanting it into?

huh.

Oh I have a mate, who is an engine re-conditioner by trade, which is quite handy

New engine due to the old engine being melted when stolen/written off... :(

Old engine was melted / fried by 91 octane that the bloke that stole it put in at a servo, combined with burnouts etc...

Yup 40c day and 22 psi boost doesn't get along with 91 octane

I'm sure he had a blast though

I really should thank him for the insurance payout though

Ah right. Sorry, I thought the CAR was written off so you moved your working engine/driveline into a new chassis.

Kind of the opposite, you bought the wreck back.. and then got a new engine and put it into your old/original chassis.

This makes sense to me now.

Mine is insured for 27k, which is the same cost as that GTR.

There's not many things a neo with an auto transmission, suspension setup for a 4DR, diff and driveshaft for a 4 door, exhaust for a 4 door will really fit into easily other than well, a 4 door.

Or maybe a S15.. they had the same auto originally... :ph34r:

Go buy the GTR

Then tell us what it's like once you are inside the inner sanctum of the GTR/Melbourne GTR/R33 GTR owners club!

I reckon he should be telling us how long he has left to live after he contracts aids from all the gay sex

Hrmm my car was listed as a repairable write off though insurance though

Just keep the neo engine, and go to a 2dr/manual of some sort

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
