Marko, I keep saying 6 weeks but as always there is a delay here and there. Nothing much we can do about it. All that needs to be done is work out what headgasket I need (to keep the compression up) and order it, get the sump back from

Melbourne (I'll find out today how that is going) and get the cams from Japan (again, there was a production run delay). 6-8 weeks is being realistic I spose.

Update here, doing it for Paul cause the pics were taken on my phone.

First is dropped all this stuff to Chris at Craved Coatings (look them up, really good work and very reasonable prices) for ceramic coating. This will be back in 2 weeks;

Hectic bro!

Done some mods to Pauls factory compressor inlet pipes tonight so hopefully they help him squeeze few more powers outta his beast :thumbsup:

Hopefully he can post some 'before' pics to show how restricted the standard pipes are inside since i wasnt smart enough to take the 'before' pics lol

Gave the insides of them a bit of a polishing to remove the rough castings also. So hopefully the air slides on through bit better and slotted out the hole that had the big 'dent' in it to do up the allen head bolt20120602_195519.jpg

Woah. Well done Mick!! Couldn't have wished for a better result than that!!!!

Shame its such a mammoth/prick of a job to get those pipes on and off. I'd love to do a back to back!

Cheers mate Im actually thinking bout throwing them on dads GTR early next week and heading over to unigroup for a power run and see if there is any gains if there is i will modify the old boys too

By all means go for it. That would be interesting.

A little update today.

I dropped the head, cam gears, retainers and springs off today. Waiting on cams (on order) and cam caps. Who on earth steals cam caps from a head! ARGH!

The decision was made to have the compression ratio at 9.3:1 with a squish clearence of between 30 and 33 thou. The last engine was 9.0:1 so we will try for a little more considering whenever its going to be given a hard time it will be on E85.

A few cheeky photo's.

Racepace sump. The Quaife front diff has been fitted. Picked that up last night. Sorry, no internal pics.

My dressed FPR with the Fuel pressure sensor in the side of the reg. So much neater than some gastric looking 'fitting' in the middle of the return line.

Did a little bit of tinkering today. I swapped my cam baffles out of my original covers into my painted ones. That's obviously the mesh under baffles.

Here are the painted baffles. Chris from "Craved coatings" did them this time last year. Keen eyes will notice the "RB28". Looks factory apart from the colour!

Impressive effort with the detail of the lettering there Paul. Nothing stealthy about that!

That was Steveo's idea. He got a whole heap on numbers made up in the same size,height and font in alloy as the standard lettering. Grind the 6 off, tack weld the 8 on, paint, machine off the paint and clear coat it.

    • 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)?
