Hey Michael. Its certainly a cleaner example. The interior is flawless and the car has been taken care off. That's why I intend to keep everything I take off the car and store it so that if I want to

Cheers Raj. I think short term goals around the 250-260kw as I'm only going to go high flow turbo. But I think after getting used to it I will be chasing more power so we'll have to wait and see. C

There are lessons to be learnt all the time working on cars.

One big tip is bunnings don't know or care about bolts. Go to a proper bolt shop for correct grade bolts and advice .

How rooted were the threads? I know that it's too late now, but a die nut would have likely cleaned them up. (Or a thread file, which works out cheaper and more flexible)

Hope you start having some better experiences in the future.

Agreed. Specialised bolt shop or nothing. Threads were pretty rooted but they are no longer an issue. I have replacements for them. Just got news that the bent shock has to be replaced and since its not a readily available brand it seems like the suspension place will be unable to fix it. Headaches....

Hey man, pretty sure we met on a track day at barbs. ( i think )

I have the bunky black bashed up 34 .

Just a suggestion, i have used the QFM track day pads a bit now and find they go to crap after 2 hard laps at barbs.

I would suggest going to EBC Yellow or Blue, or Project Mu.

I had EBC before and was alot better.

Im not exactly sure what causes it, but it most likely is related to heat.

And you having those ducts will certainly help.

They are not a bad pad, just once you go past there limit, dont expect to stay out on the track unless you rest them.

Alright. What brake fluid were you using? Also, did you notice they squeal a lot. I drove them around the street a bit after I bedded them in and they can squeal quite loudly at times. I will definitely try to set up the brake ducts as good as I can get them before going out this saturday. Are you doing the NL full day event?

I would, but i recently purchased a r34 shell i will be transplanting my running gear into.
So i will be out of action for a few weeks.

And im running high temp penrite "racing" fluid.

They do squeal first time i put them on, but after a while they are not to bad.

All the best with the transplant mate. Do you by any chance know anyonw who could fabricate a couple of brackets to which I can hook up the ducts. Im just using cable ties atm and they dont really work in getting the ducts to sit exactly where I want them to

Cable ties are your friend.

I have been using them for year son my skyline and they keep the brake ducts nicely in place.

I had to withdraw from Saturdays NL event but might pop my head up for a look. I am happy to have a look and make adjustments for you.

Track day at barbagallo yesterday - great fun. Other than my gear box (4th gear synchro clips) and suspension issues, the car ran very well. Managed to shave off some seconds off the lap times so I was happy. Good to meet Shaun and thanks for the tips mate. Also good to meet Andrew whos car is an absolute monster.

Thanks to the new rotors and pads I had on, stopping power was substanitially improved. I was able to brake much later than I was before which meant my right foot spent more time where it wanted to be - on the gas.

Only problem with track days is when the day ends. Now what? Looking forward fot the next event.

Will upload pictures of the track day if I find any of my mate.

Till the next episode folks....

      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)?
