Hi guys, I've done it again. Gone and bought myself a skyline. My old r33 was sold a few years back to make way for a hsv grange but since then I've come to realise the error of my ways and have just bought a series 1 R33. For quite a good price I might add. This car has been bastardised ALOT! It has bits missing off it (like the emissions section and the a/c) and needs a lot of things replaced but the body is straight with very minimal rust which is a great sign. First on the list is a new turbo, Inter cooler and heater hoses as well as exhaust manifold gaskets.

One other annoying part to this car is that the boot lock is missing and the cable isn't connected properly so that's a job for next weekend..... Maybe I might be small enough to fit through the gap? Maybe lol

Anyways, looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Thanks Loach. Yeah well I believe I have to put the carbon canister in for the roadworthy and as far as a/c is concerned I may as well do that at the same time as it's all in that area. I took the top radiator hose off tonight and it is so rusted up top of the manifold. Good news is though is that it appears to be a fairly new radiator on it so I won't have to replace that for a while.

I have also discovered a spaghetti mess of wiring under the steering column and where the head unit hoes so that might also be a next weekend job to tidy that up. I spent most of today removing the carbon fibre contact that was held on by contact adhesive :/ it was all over the interior. Gah!

      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.

      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...
