So, I got the bad news today that my ViPec needs to be sent to WA to be repaired and could take 4 plus weeks.

This puts me in a sticky situation as I need a car for work

Until..... I hit a goddam Kangaroo.

Oh the humanity.. Beep Beep Booooop.

Is the shitta still drivable or was it a big roo?

Damn man, thats some bad luck!! Guess you can only be glad it was the shitter and not the line..

Got a new key deliivered, my old one is quite worn so I had a cheapy cut first, it's REALLY tight to turn! is this normal?

at first I didn't think it was going to work, but noticed a little movement so used more force. do I need to get it trimmed down a bit further? do the lock barrels need fixing?

It was just a glancing blow.. Bit of a ding, the bumper dislodged which I screwed back into place, bit of trim gone and the headlight hanging out which I got back into place. Very lucky.

Yeah not suprised your Jelly of the Barina :woot:

Try wd40 on the key.

Graphite powder is also good for new keys and locks.

wd40 made no difference. is it likely the powder will be much better?

today, the key won't work at all in the boot (just like the 'spare' key i got with the car. But i presume its meant for valet. though the valet key has different valley size)

Light sanding as suggested to take burs off then Graphite powder on key and Ignition barrel.

some things shouldn't be WD40'd. (locks is one of them)

In other news replaced steering wheel in the GTR this morn with a newie :rolleyes:

old one is in top cond but was tempted to onsell to a mate. (and had the other sitting on the shelf taking space)

Sometimes money trumps having spares.

I hit a small one on the GDE one morning, cracked the bumper, proke a headlight mount tab, and a couple small dents. I stitched the bumper back together with cable ties.....PERFECT.

Also, you can't even begin to imagine how jealous I am...

on topic and maybe of of interest - a full new set of R32 GTR locks including ignition barrel is $240

thinking I may buy a complete new set and get the NIsmo key cut to suit Sin.

Cant see myself selling the car or the key so seems logical they should be "locked" together :P

      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...
