Hey guys,

First post on SAU, not a skyline owner, putting an RB25 into my VL commodore this week. Gives it that little more "rep" Than a SOHC 30.

Basically i have a VLC with an RB25, the vehicle is running and drives well, just has some, err.... Cosmetic damage. Currently stripping it down for the install on friday,

How in the fuaaaark is the 4 bolts on the underside of the inlet plenum removed? I litterally having nothing that will get to it. Because of the bogan spec wiring it has unfortunately i cannot get my hands in under the plenum runners to stick a socket and extension up. Any info on this noob matter would be muchly appreciated!

Thanks guys,

Jacob

Yeah man cheers, Going to have a beer and call it a day before I crack the shits, So ill have a drunken sleep and attack it tommorow with a more docile "hangover" mood lol Im an apprentice mechanic so i've got a Kingchrome top and bottom filled with cheap goods, So im thinking get under it with a 1000ft extension and come through the runners. Doesn't help that it fits very nicely with bogan stereotype and is on SSL springs, and with my.... build.... Im going to be dryhumping the shit out the cooler i think! Plus the wiring is giving me hell!! So much bodgeynessness!!

take off the left cam cover as it will give you a bit more room and a straighter angle, give it a crack from the top with ratchet ring spanner. If you have got one with the end the pivots on a hinge will make your life easier. Stil not easy butt i eventually got mine off. hope it helps mate

yeah what he said and will help if you got a ratchet spanner.Putting on is worse because you have to start it on the thread lol fun times.

Thanks guys will do, just left it on and ripped the motor. Had the intention to just throw it straight in, but seeing as it was in another VL, Im certain it would feeling similar to a slapped ass, so Im going to freshen it all up, unfortunately no mods until a bit later next year, but definately contemplating a filter relocation kit! What a whore to remove!

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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)?
