Ponsardin...had a bottle of this, it wasn't much chop over the standard Veuve IMO. Perrier Jouet's Belle Époque on the other hand...

Vueve Clicquot Ponsardin is just the full name of the conpany.

Are you referring to the vintage (same bottle but gold label) or Le Grande Dame (more traditional "Dom Perignon) bottle?

The vintage is pretty similar but the Grande Dame is quite a bit nicer. But for $200 it's in Dom Perignon territory and Dom is far better.

I prefer Dom to Belle Epoque too TBH... dem flowers doe...

Was gonna say there's a NEO engine for sale for $2500.

I can't even f**king pay people to do this kind of thing for my car, 100% confident a stock engine will last a lot longer than getting whatever the f**k has gone wrong with mine this time fixed.

I am very used to something like a direct engine swap, when I can get the engine there, just taking 12 weeks because reasons. If y'all can actually get it done in a couple hours I'll just go punch myself in the face some more.

Hind sight is a wonderful thing. If you knew there was an engine version of HAL9000 in your motor, you would have just gotten a replacement.

Am referring to the vintage Veuve - on the bottle they spell out the full name unlike the NV

I was sure it was on both so I imaged searched VC yellow label, it appears they have had it with and without. Not that any of this matters, it just means I'm not going crazy(er).

Related... WTF do they call it yellow label when it's clearly orange?

Lol @ paying 2.5x the price for a Neo

To be fair it comes with all accessories, manifolds, wiring loom, ECU, and stock turbo in working order.

If you remove all the costs of the extras, it only comes out a little more than a standard RB25.

I advise all people out there to simply go to where a hiflow will get you on a RB25 (i.e 320ish) because its the point of which everything else breaks or becomes very visible to Mr Plod.

Also its enough for driving as fast you can on the street.

And unless you're quicker than Richo... it's all you need on the track too.

Did you say this 8 years ago?

The only reason I've persisted is because I got the Stroker kit for near nothing and had a free rebuild coming my way via someone who had a really, really great reputation 8 years ago. Someone who was recommended directly by someone else who owns a certain hub dyno, at the time.

I did initially put a stock neo in, it just got exploded before I took delivery of it, my options were

1) Free replacement neo, which could have the same problem.. or..

2) Near-nothing RB28 upgrade which would have 0kms on it, which you'd think logically would be better option long term.

Again, this was 2007. We all have 8 years of experience since then to see what works longer term and what doesn't seem to. I would still say, that if the engine was implemented correctly that option 2) should still be the better option to go down.

Even if you still only want 320rwkw, it's a better option to have a new engine over an old engine, assuming they are assembled to the same standard, which you would think would happen in most/all professional scenarios.

You'd think.

Also, I'd take 20 year old nissan manufacturing over most builds any day... Al has had to have his built 3 times now aswell, as has Dean.

In fact Dean is like your skyline doppelganger... although he drives the pants off his for the few days it lives at a time

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
