Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Prob should update this.

The last few weeks its copped two new 044's. My primary feed pump wasn't playing ball do they both went. As a result, my idle is grumpy and my cold start is junk due to the increased fuel pressure at idle. It goes in tomorrow to get this fixed up and chucked on the dyno for a quick health check before these track days coming up.

It also copped two new front drive shafts as I did a boot on each side. The passenger one was clicking. Grease everywhere!!!!

Ordered some new brake pads. These 2500's just won't cut it. Damn heavy whale!

New front diff oil yesterday.

Coolant bleed.

New engine oil tonight ready for dyno thrashes!

Having front sway bars link washers turned up. ATM, the front isn't connected. It's a tad taily but it makes it interesting!

Good to see what u get and how much boost u going to run on the -5

The most we have run is 28 psi IIRC. A graph is here a few pages earlier. I normally just leave it at 25 psi.

Let it be known I have experienced this car and it was a dead set ballistic missile.

Gears would wind out in the normal 'extremely fast car' manner, but each gear would account for a lot more than the usual 'fast car' speeds. IIRC 3rd gear was well over 180kmh and it got there like it had tiny short ratio. The most amazing part was the brakes, powering through 4th with less than 100m to stop I had to seriously consider if this was the end, but the car didn't even break a sweat.

Paul, your car really got me buzzing, I couldn't stand still when I got out. Cheers.

now that's the kind of feed back I like to hear :)

Hopefully u can get that fuel issue sorted out Paulie.....sounds like a bit of a pain it I'm sure it will be fixed.

Would love to see track footage of the sperm whale in action

It's just a quick adjust to a few cells. All good

I'll have a few vids of this coming Tuesday.

Awesome, look forward to hearing how the tidy up goes :)

Agreed with GTScoTT - best all around GTR I have experienced, I said it at the time... but I was looking forward to seeing how the -5s and 28 (along with cam choice etc etc) worked together but what actually REALLY wowed me was just how well put together the entire car was, and those brakes! Fantastic car, would be a weapon on the track :)

      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)?
