Hello Thought I’d take time share with you my GTR. I’ve been a member on SAU since the early days – April 2002. Started on here as a young guy in my early 20’s – just sold my VP HSV and was lookin

Box is fixed - working like a dream on the bench.

Will get it home now and put it back in, at the same time have some fab work done to connect the dump pipe to the titanium exhaust. 

Had the oil collector modified by cutting off the bungs and replacing with fittings and power coating - so will needs some new breather lines made and installed.

And a couple other little things ......

Now to decide on a workshop!  This is my other nightmare!

Anyway end appears to be in sight ;)

Like you, I own both a R34 & R33 GTR and mist admit there’s something about the R33 that I like more. I mean, I love all GTRs with the exception of the R35 not my cup of tea, but the overall look and stance of the R33 GTR will always be my favourite.

Update

Last Tuesday I got the gearbox installed backed into the car - and spent the last few nights in the garage finishing a few things off - like installing a new battery.

Decided I will now drop the car off to a workshop to do all oils (engine, diffs, coolant, transfer, gearbox), fabricate my Trust dump flange to my ARC 4" Titanium exhaust, new breather hoses, and fittings, and some other minor finishes I want doing.

Visited a few workshops last week and had had some conversations - pretty much decided on the shop I want to use - so now just waiting for their call back....... hoping to have it at the shop late this week - so close very close now.

A couple snaps under the car while installing box .....

Update.

Today saw a huge milestone - the car has been removed from the garage - where it has sat for the last 26 months and delivered to the workshop shop.

 

Hoping to have it back by end of the week.

Hey Damian

Well regarding which shop - this was an interesting experience.

I went and met with four prominent workshops here in Perth - was set to go to your shop of choice (as mentioned in your build thread - I won't name it) but after being dicked around - went with C-Red.

Mark was by far the best shop owner that I dealt with - he was very open and honest, very approachable and was quick in getting back to me to answer my questions etc.  In the end - it was a simple choice.  I have given C-Red the opportunity - if they do a great job on the car - and continue with their great customer service and reliability as provided to date - C-Red will be my workshop going forward.  Have already begun discussing next stage - new ecu, etc.

So time will tell.

Dan

Cool man was only curious as I no longer have a shop of choice! So just seeing who is who in the zoo these days. 

C-Red are very popular at the moment and appear to be delivering some great builds. A good mate of mine is mates with Ben in the workshop he seems like a knowledgeable top bloke!

Hey Damian

Feel free to PM me if you want some feedback.

I went to C-Red, Galvsport, Garage 101 and a couple of other places in search of a workshop.  

So excited at the thought of having my car back on the road after so long........

Great to see things moving along mate 

keep us updated with how it all turns out ?

Thanks mate

Got a call late yesterday arvo - everything has gone very smoothly so far - all that's left to do is fill it with fresh E85, get it started and put it on the dyno to check the fuel pumps and injectors - this will happen first thing Monday morning.

Fingers crossed all goes well - and if so - will have it back and on the road some time later Monday. 

Here she is nearly ready....

Hey

The car went on the dyno Monday - to test AFR to ensure injectors and fuel pumps we're all ok after the long sit with E85.

Discovered one of the O44's at the surge take was dead - so decided to replace both of them with brand new items.

The new fuel pumps arrived yesterday morning - were fitted and back on the dyno. 

On the dyno again - now with the fuel flowing strong - hit another small snag - the boost dropping off up high.  Some investigation found that the boost was going to high (hitting 29/30psi) and the controller was engaging safe mode.  It was originally tuned at a safe 27psi.  Some adjustments were made and back at 27psi she sat.  Boo-ya - the monster is alive again!!!!! 

Apparently, the new ARC 4" titanium sounds awesome !

The tune is too rich up top - I'm told that there's quite a bit more in it with some tuning.  So I've decided to upgrade to the Haltech Elite!

The car is still at the shop - still waiting on some fittings which seem to be taking forever to arrive - but hoping to pick it up late today or tomorrow.

      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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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...
