Hi peeps,

Just wondering if any of you went on the Boostcruising Skyine Cruise back in January?? Just wondering coz I have a little article on page 8 of the latest issue of Qld Street Car and theres a few of my photos on there. A purple 33 GTR if anyone on here owns that... Have a look if you're wandering thru a newsagents!!!

Cheers

Yeah, not a fan of people who put GTR badges on Gtsts.... there is no difference between doing that, and the people who put 'type r' bages/stickers on thier hondas, or 'm3' badges on thier 318is...

a guy at work saw my car and was like yeah i used to have one, he told me it was a gtst but it went as hard as a gtr etc.. etc.. he sent me photos, there was a GTR badge on it and he said 'mate it went as hard as a gtr so its allowed to have that badge' ... next time i saw him he was with a mate and i asked him how the fake gtr was and his mate was like 'so it wasn't even a gtr you said it was' haha

Haha... He's spent a lot of money on that and good on him, but wouldn't it have been cheaper to buy the GTR in the first place?

If he just took the easy way out of just gettin a GTR, it wouldnt be as satisfying as doing up a GTST to have ~ the same amount of balls as a GTR. :/

Lemme get this straight:

Its better to buy a GTST and spend a bucket load of cash "doing it up" to make it look like and put out as much power as a GTR..... Instead of buying a GTR (which looks like and puts out as much power as a GTR).... ?

I must admit I'd prefer the second option. If only for the RB26, twin turbo, AWD.... etc :D Not to mention the price difference between a GTST and a GTR is less than what it would cost to make a GTST look and go like a GTR. Assuming you could launch as hard in 2WD.

be glad that hey at least try to hide it in aus

over here i was reading a car mag whic was compring 2 r34's one gt-t one gtr. sying the differences etc, it was quite apparent that the thing was 'sponsored' by an importing company. they failed to mention why both cars featured had GTR badges on them. it looked reeeeealy stupid, made the mag and importer look like a rice field. even if you didnt know anything about cars you could have put 2 and 2 together.

jap imports are not big here. i've seen as many ferrari's than skylines here.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      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)?
