Looks great!!

I want that box so bad. What did you use to cut it into shape?

Looking good mate.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Regarding the cutting of the shape, I tried tin snips but the metal was too thick so I drilled holes and used a jigsaw. The metal was flapping around and I was finding it hard to cut so I rested it on a drum of power wire (the stuff sparkies carry around) and used that to support it on either side while I cut in the middle moving the material instead of the jigsaw because of the limited space.

More updates coming soon! I ordered something small but cool for the car :)

that is one stealthy build!

nice build man :)

Thanks mate, I'd like to eventually go top mount for ease of access but for now stealth it is.

he ordered a dose pipe! wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

One day, when NSW HWP go away *cough cough* - Never

------------------

Ordered some more parts from Kudos to fix the cooling problem where the car runs super cool for no visible reason.

Thermostat - because the one in there which was also new MAY be faulty but I would rather be prepared

Thermostat housing - because everyone complains how fragile they are. Again would rather be prepared

Gasket maker/goo - I ran out of the old stuff I had

OEM Radiator cap - Just another thing so I am prepared

My bosses must be getting sick of receiving car parts for me (get everything delivered to our office)

As I have the Pulsar I wont be in a rush to get this done so I'll put my car in the garage this weekend and take my time.

Ordered some more stuff from GKTECH

They now sell the solid shifter bushing for R33 GTST's which they stopped selling years ago. Bought that and the shifter springs again that I bought a while back. I completely forgot to remove the two rounded bolts last time I had the gearbox off - This time I'll lower the box which I didn't think of doing last time and get one of those rounded bolt sockets on it or a good pair of vice grips. Not sure why it was so tight last time though

Stay tuned - I have some work this weekend on the car planned

My neighbours don't like how loud my car is so I spent today at a friends house working on our cars and changing my thermostat (had to run it to bleed it and my neighbours hate it)

Found the issue with the cooling, changed the thermostat housing, thermostat, bled the system etc. Heater pumps hot again (was warm before at best) gauges read right and the data logging shows the right reading.

I'll do a quick DIY for the thermostat change because I found a good way to locate it without causing the problem I had again. I'll explain below anyway.

The issue I was having that the thermostat didn't locate in the block properly. This was caused because when I tried to locate the thermostat originally I couldn't line the bolts up without bumping it (sealant grabs it and moves it etc) around causing the thermostat to lose its seating in the block.

To get around this I got two long bolts with the same thread pitch and cut the heads off them, screwed them into the block and placed the thermostat housing over that meaning it was straight and I couldn't possibly bump the thermostat out of the block again. Put one bolt in, torqued it down then removed one stud and repeated.

More goodies coming - I'm broke until pay day now but atleast my car loves me.

Some pics from a few weeks ago when we had back burning in Sydney - Went down the coast in the hopes that it would be less smoky down the coast but it was still pretty bad.

Still trailing daytime photography so these are the two of about 100 that I took that I liked. Heading to Bathurst this week for a drive as I have a couple of days off so I will take some more pics up there too.

Worked on the Pulsar yesterday and the Skyline today

Pulsar got new brakes, driveshafts, brake fluid and some general cleanup

I went to change the shifter bushing today on the Skyline but the bushing wouldn't seat low enough to get the circlip into the top of the gearbox. So after lots of messing around I finally wrestled the shifter out and put a brand new OEM bush on.

Pics below

Found a car cover at Supercheap

      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?
