Yeah, my ex wife said something along those lines when she didn't want me to know where she was going!!

Oh well, so long as you give her a jump every so often, turn her over from time to time, keep her lubricated then get into her and give her a good going over regularly ... you should be ok .. :D

Put some fresh oil in the diff, and went for a cruise.

Very happy with my alignment. One thing i need to fix is a very slight drift to the left.

But it feels like a Ducati.

Ever ridden one? Man, they just drop into the corners and stick there.

The way they sort of suck you down and balance at the lowest point, feels soooo gooood..... now my 32 is a bit like that.

A little tweaking and it will be perfect.

I cleaned it after about 3 weeks ( haven't had time :( ) then took it for a drive, followed an old SS then he thought he was a Drift King... completely lost it, then found out that my brakes are not to great.... just pulled up in time! so after that fright I decided to go home ....

Scares the sht out of you doesnt it..... :laugh:

And thats why you drive with appropriate safety margins.

You know what i mean? Like enough room to stop or dodge, when sht goes wrong. And it will go wrong sooner or later.

Not just other cars, but you driving down a road vs the environment.

Its good when you can learn without paying for it. (crashed car or broken bones) :thumbsup:

I think it was the first time I didn't leave enough room, its always little mistakes that you pay for...

it would have been about half a metier between us when I finally stopped... thank god for the car behind me had better brakes! she would have wet herself, she looked pretty young, maybe around 17, I think she was more worried about hitting a skyline :P

At every service ... I always have brakes checked, fluids .. pads .. roters, ensure all is clean and working well, Mik is 110% right there is never a time you need them to 'just' work, you always need them to be perfect. Same goes for tyres, your brakes sorta need them to lend a hand when things don't go right .. :wacko:

Hahaha...

Brakes only need to work when you want to stop.

Tyres only need to be ok when you're stopping, going or turning.

Flat tyres are fine. After all, they're only flat on the bottom. :laugh:

but seriously, I thought my brakes were fine (but a little different feeling from time to time) <<---- this is wrong. :/

new fluid and they are very consistent now.

      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)?
