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 .. ;)

damn, dat all....i thought you paid double that...

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

Process is easy if you DONT need a VIV

If you do, forgetaboutit....you may get alot of headaches...

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

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      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...
