from virgin white. to ruxis do not add any additives to your fuel tank, eg, octane boost or injector as these additives cause a pink colour around the cars spark plugs thus ,it will ruin your spark plugs as all skyline cars use platinium plugs @ around $22.00 per plug so unless you have plenty of money to replace the plugs do not use any additives to your cars fuel tank and likewise do not use additives to the cars engine oil, use only the best fuel available 98 ron. change your engine oil and oil filter every 5000 ks hope to see you and your car at the robertson pie shop cruise on 11/03/12 regards laurie.

Hey Laurie,the expensive plugs are ok on an unmodded liner,but once you get the mod bug there no good.High boost you need to be useing cheap coppers bcpr7es is what i use.There would'nt be many stock skylines around here these days. Genelle. :cheers:

My skyline has just an exhaust ATM, usually got a pod and boost controller on butttttt my daily sold SOOOO SKYLINE IS MY DAILY! until wakie in march then may sell.

Plus I do run platinum plugs :) bout 5,000 kms ago. (screw pulling the throttle body and intake apart every service!!!)

That's some good advice virgin white. I'll defineatley keep that in mind, although I won't be parking it as planed :)

you have a GTT intake, it takes all of 20 mins.. suck it up princess!

My manifold takes close to an hour to do plugs because of throttle cable and solenoids getting in the way..

      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

      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...
