Name: Scott, but literally everyone calls me Sciby, including my 2 year old godson and before you ask, it's pronounced "Sky-bee".

Age: 27.

Location: Central Queensland.

Car: Don't ask what I drive now, but just had a loan approved, so I'm about to hunt down an R33.

Occupation: Sysadmin (professional geek) at the same place as Squizz.

No doubt will meet some/all of you when I finally get the new car.

I know the feeling

we have to take our car back to get the problems sorted.. there still there..

I'm Jay age 61 retired Rn. non retired revhead and PC freek

Hi Sciby.... you still with OCAU?

I've got a 94 GTS25T Silver with a crappy red front bar

Just getting into the drag scene alternating drives with my first born Mick

AKA Lanos Driver.

I've owned 70 or 80 cars.....mostly orphans..... and do most of the work

on them myself.

To the wankers who posted on a recent SDU thread regarding over 50's

drivers, I see more dangerous young drivers than old, especially when

it's raining. :)

ONARUN For sheer driving pleasure the Skyline tops the list followed by Alfa Romeo Berlina 1750, 1750 GTV,Triumph TR3A,BMW 3.0 si,

Marcos V6GT,Hillman Imp (modded front camber makes all the difference)

I wrote off a Honda 9S with 4000miles on the clock at Oran Park.

Then there was Jag E Type 3.8, several M11 3.8 Jags, a handfull of Triumps.... one MD the rest Mk11 PI's, 2x Mk11A Sprites, MGB(big disapointment , that one) Izusu Bellet(new) Honda Civic (new)

Suberu 4x4 waggon(new) Mazda E4100 based motorhome(self built)

couple of minis of course,EH Holden, just long enough to drive it home ,recover from the trauma, and sell it, Citroin something 85model,

and so it goes on.

Right now I've got the Skyline, 82 Range Rover with P76 motor 89

4spd auto and interior+ Recaros. The 3.0 si is going but deregistered,

minus front sidewindows(thanks you pricks) Marcos is a rolling body/chassis awaiting new engine gearbox..........suggestions anyone??

And now these arthritic doddery old fingers are tired of typing so i'll stop

:lol:

It's good to read something about local Skyline owners----a diverse bunch of people joined by a common interest in GTR's.

I have enjoyed breaking away from the conservatism of Porsche ownership and owning a car that is truely wild.

I take my car to Queensland Raceway regularily and it is always a buzz to demonstrate that it is as fast as Porsche 996 twin turbos that have mods and sticky tyres, particularily when the engine in my car is much smaller that the Porsche.

Most embarassing moment: being mistaken for slip's father

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
    • 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)?
