That was what I was trying to explain to you in your other thread...:) Definately need a drop on 20s.

seano,

wasnt your car slightly lower than your mates?

just because you havent upgraded springs doesnt mean a previous owner didnt. you could have Z springs and not know it...

clean the springs and check for any spots of paint colour, theyll ID the springs,

Very good point, i will check this when i change my comp rod bushings. I doubt it though you would assume the previous owner would mention that as a selling point.

Could be right, my car does look a lot lower than the pictures above though. Might just be because my rims and tyres are only stock 18s but yeah. When i get time to do my comp rod bushings i'll take some pics of the springs is there any way you can properly tell apart from paint marks?

I wouldn't rely on photo comparisons alone to determine if you are lowered or not. Your springs and shocks could well be tired and sagged a lot more than your mates both being factory suspension. As I mentioned earlier as well, overall wheel diameter could also have an effect, so maybe let us know what tire profiles you are running on your 18s as well. A difference or 10-15mm could give u a slightly lowered look

      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)?
