Today's instalment is a special one. Yesterday I reinstalled the injectors and gave a quick test with manifold off to see if they were firing fuel. It was a no go. So back to a lot of internet r

Resurrection time, well in a few months. I just booked tickets to go home over Christmas this year.  I wonder if I will brave the cold to go out and work on the 240....

Some fairy tales start with a fairlady in waiting. My princess is no different. And now I'm in Seattle for just a quick visit, I needed at least to pay her a quick visit and a little attention.

So, I suppose it is no surprise that every hose in the fuel tank ventilation and return system is borked! 40 year old hoses don't like the gasoline any more.



And of course it is every size from 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" and small 3/8" sizes!



Oh well. Now to drop the tank and replace all 'dem hoses.

Updates:

5 different size hoses obtained and working on dropping the fuel tank to change out the hoses.

Brake fluid leak is coming from the right rear brake sleeve/actuator. Ordered from AutoZone here. 40 year old car, obscure part...

...they have it and it will be here tomorrow! For $47! Oh how I miss working on cars in the U.S.

In other news, Mom found our old book stash in Dad's library. How's this for gold stash?

So, today was a mixed bag. Went to get some parts and lunch with sister. Caught in bad traffic everywhere and lost a lot of the day.

I've just about completed the battery mounting and topped up the brakes and bled.

Tomorrow it goes on a trailer and to the muffler shop for a new zorst system. Will be at 3" or a twin 2 1/4. Unsure which until they have a look see.

Nice work Eric, air dam looks sweet, and I bloody hate America with its parts and prices, when you bring her home you should fill every inch of the container with parts, both old and new, and lots of muscle car and Harley bits, you should end up with a nice little earn.

Your airdam is the same design I'll get for mine with the air ducts, but I can only find fibreglass ones here.

Can you pick me up a urethane one while you're over there & bend it in your carry on luggage for me? :laugh:

Haha! That's why I decided to buy it and do it. They are about $200 on ebay with free shipping to the U.S. I checked to ship to AUS was >$1k! But that was just the one vendor.

Off to the muffler shop now.

are you intending to get road rego for it when you eventually bring it downunder? You'll have to meet noise and emissions ADR for the engine swap/exhaust

In any case hope you get as much done as you planned. It never goes to plan all the time with these cars I'm finding heheh

Would like to road rego and will have to do so much when I do ship it. Will have to see about everything. Don't imagine it to be too loud though. These older V6's have pretty crappy exhaust manifolds that mesh all the gasses together. So it shouldn't be too loud.

Not sure what it will be like on emissions. But if it just has to meet emissions for an 84 model year like the motor then shouldn't be a problem. Motor is stock as a rock!

What a long day. Pushing a non-running car up and down a trailer is bad nuf. Helping brother push his non-running car up and down driveway and trailer = double bad! Yup, my brother's '92 300ZX found it's way from my sister's place to his place. Two brothers with non-running Z cars (Mine is just Grandpa Z at 20 years older than his).

Anyways, the shop took a lot longer than expected but I'm really stoked about the result. He managed to tuck a full 3" exhaust up nice and tidy up into the well. Remember, this car originally came with 1 1/2" or something like that! And I've only ever seen a 2 1/2" aftermarket kit.

      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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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...
