Hey guys, I picked up this pretty lady last night. Its a 1990 GTST 4 door 4wd.

NPG coilovers, extreme 6 puk clutch, r34 neo turbo, 18x8 f and 18x9 r work wheels (any one know the model at all?), f & r strut braces, 3" exhaust, apexi pod, HKS boost gauge, front mount intercooler, m spec factory kit. Also threw in some HID's i had lying around.

Plans are for a new steering wheel as the current one is haggard as fook haha, then upgrade the fuel system (what size injectors is good?). I'm aiming for 200rwkw but time will tell.

This car makes a welcome change from previous cars including an auto charade, and 2 v8 commodores haha

I went for a lovely drive yesterday to see how the car felt on some of my favourite roads, went down the local autopro and picked up a little jack coz i knew the car didn't have one. What i didn't do was check my spare but i knew it was there and honestly how often do you get a flat.

100kms later almost home hear a little bang sorta noise, car starts pulling to the right a tad. I was devastated, started smelling the tyre so i pulled over, got the wheel off, got out the spare. OH FOOOOOK its dead flat. I should've checked it and i felt like a moron. I didn't wanna f**k my good wheel so i bolted up the spare.

Then begun the fun journey of limping the car to the nearest servo barely going fast enough to keep the car from bunnyhopping.

Finally get there and just to add to my luck the servo doesn't have a pump, i managed to burrrow one from a lovely old man which plugged into the cigarette socket. Spare didn't wanna take air. So i start ringing all the people i know to come down and go get my good wheel repaired while i waited with my car. Someone came down i basically threw the wheel through their window and told them to just get it fixed. Turns out the tyre had a gash in it and needed to be replaced, even better no where in my town had that size.

They came back and gave me a lift home, jumped in my other car and went looking for somewhere with the tyre i needed. 2 hours later i was back at the servo putting on the good wheel in the rain generally not having fun.

Touch wood I only get problems like this with this car haha

      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...
