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.

I love driving my 7, just wish the previous owner had taken better care of it...

Interior is very sparse, some parts of it look plasticy and cheap, but when you get up close it's actually decent construction. The Climate Controls really make it look a lot more base-model than it is.

Torque when you put your foot down at 2000rpm in 4th is great compared to the skyline. Obviously it comes onto boost a lot faster, but you don't actually get to enjoy the turbo properly until you're in 3rd because of the short gears...

I'm running 255's all round, so grip is good even with the nangkangs on it atm... When it does wanna get loose on a corner, it feels really weird, but never really gets out of control... Still able to 4 wheel slide in the wet if I dump 2nd out of a corner... Last dyno figures were 175@awkw but they were from years ago so its probably a bit less now. Considering dropping it into RTR for a touch up tune and general health check.

hey... it was the previous previous owner... I didn't do anything to that car :P

Kittens is a brothel and licensed as such, but cleverly masqueraded as a strip club with less limitations on client interaction than other strip clubs

= all the legal allowances of a brothel but maintaining clientele perception that they are a strip club, allowing clientele to feel better about not going to a brothel / to blur the lines for themselves without feeling they crossed one.

Have heard many nitwits say they love Kittens but would never go to a brothel. Just go to a brothel and do the same things you do at Kittens lol

can you back that up with proof.

I've heard the same thing but believe it to untrue.

as as far as I am aware no Licensed brothel is allowed to sell alcohol which they do.

I also thought there was limits to number of girls working in a brothel and they would be significantly over that number.

happy to be proven wrong, but think this one is just a urban rumor.

What's wrong with that? You get a gearset that's good around town, competent for a lot of motorsports but isn't screaming it's head of at 4500rpm for 2 hours straight on the highway. Have been tossing up doing a similar sort of box for the RS. ALL of my gearing is stupid tall so it almost always feels like the wrong gear. STi boxes are super short everywhere which considering half my driving is highway is impractical. Late model stuff to run double cone synchros for those not so agricultural feels, nice tight 1-4 set then tallest 5th I can find. Perfect all rounder.

you'd love the pulsar gearset then. straight-cut 1st-5th. 1st-4th close ratio, then 5th long as fark. 200+kw isnt enough to get it chugging. its the only thing i would change about the drivetrain. the rest is mint.

will give passenger sessions when its on the road.

you forgot the bit where entrepreneurs buy it back a struggling business for stuff-all then rinse and repeat.

a quick look on consumer affirs website re requirement of a brothel (from my table not on this pc..)

it says that all advertising has to list their SWA number (which the kittens site does not)

and that there can be no alchohol on premises.

so I'm going to go with no it is not a brothel lisence.

I also seem to remember a few years back that ??Daily planet?? was looking to open a strip joint next door and got knocked back as they could not be attached?

this is a very vauge memory so prob missing some big facts here

      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...
