fkn frustrated with the car atm, paints gone to shit, alarm is playing silly buggers, and today the indicator decided its not going to cancel any more FFS!!! 
That was me a year ago. Me and Dave test drove it. Pulled hard at 7000. Dave broke the ton in a 60zone. Breaked solid, handled awesomeness? Stalling on the way home after purchase. misfire 2 days later, front brake discs and pads died, steering stopped centering, holes in exhaust, radiator shit it's self, immobiliser shut ignition down. Rear seats had no bolts, doors wouldn't shut. Intercooler pipes leaked, tyres had chunks and holes from ridiculous camber. new coil packs, plugs. Oil change. Rack rod ends, castor arm bushes. Full exhaust, new front slotted rotors and pads, lifted ride height, rewired immobiliser and spaghetti under dash. new cat x 2, blew the 100cell ceramic to bits and melted it. New master and slave cylinder sleeved, clutch fork came off pivot ball, new gearbox oil. New diff oil, diff chattering bad, Ford lsd paste fixed it. Stereo crackling and not working, full custom install, new tyres. And foot settings. Air con compressor clutch sized, new compressor. Cleaned Iacv replaced solenoid. A/c whirring noise in dash now and rattling. Revs dropping to 500rpm when a/c fan cuts in. Load on alternator. Rattle near turbo under full load and running rich. Easy outed and replaced manifold and turbo bolts. Blatantly refuse to fix anything else till the turbo fins enter the exhaust. 1 full year of skyline ownership. ;-)

I can hold my cool for 3 or 4 mins then it all goes in the bin lol
That's why the bouncers took martin's I/d, imagine the big bald headed unit cutting loose chocking the f**k out of a tiny Japanese steering column, scary>:)

R34 the Manual is so good, think my 4th synchro may be on its way out.

215 as an auto then 245 as a manual he said he did see 250 on one run but couldn’t find it, also he didn’t do a full solid power run for show.

Next time or any dyno days coming up would be keen for a run!

Now I want to go for a cruise in the hills!!

Nice!

My old auto on a hot day made ~190rwhp (not that you can compare 2 different dynos), still nice results!

If you wanna go for a cruise we should do it while I have this (it's not turbo though)

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
