Hello all from across the ditch

Have recently come back to the "Light"  side and have got myself another RB in the form of an 89 A31 Cefiro. Have been a long time Nissan fanatic but have spent some time away (and currently still own) a 98 Subaru WRX V4 STI Type RA.

Anyway, the project is underway, picked this up with no Reg or Wof but has Cert for it's manual/turbo conversion and adjustable suspension, getting pretty close to having it road legal again and looking forward to being able to enjoy it with some spirited driving.

I notice the N.Z part of the forum is quiet... to say the least, maybe we can do something about that... maybe not. Hoping to be able to get some knowledge and track down some harder to find parts.

Cheers!

Welcome back to the club! I hate to be a downer, but it looks like your car is missing a component. ?

The body looks pretty clean considering most of these have been turned into drift missiles. 

Is there an interesting story behind how you picked it up? :) (also more pictures please).

Thanks Steve85!

I can confirm the bonnet was just off for maad (dis)respect points hahaha

Not much of a story... picked it up off a friends brother who ran out of funds to finish it (twins will do that to a man)

Initially, drift missile was the intended goal for it but have since decided that it's too nice and straight for a novice to learn how to send it towards a wall sideways so now i'm just working towards getting it back on the road. very close now.

Ah nice. I wondered. I thought it might have been chopped up for "drift style points". And picking up someone else projects can be fun. It's how i got a couple of my cars on the cheap. Welcome aboard. I'm sure there'll be heaps of people interested in this. Maybe start a build thread so I can follow along with your progress.

Cef looks great! (so does the RA).

I just got back from 2 weeks in NZ, so many Jap imports! Also, $2.15c per litre for 91! ?

I'd love to see more Kiwis on the boards, maybe I can send you some stickers to hand out at any meets you go to? 

Thanks,

Christian

Sounds like a plan mate! I'm hoping to get some interest going on the NZ forum on here as well.

Lots of Kiwis on this site mate - especially after the virtual demise of SDU. Most do not bother self identifying as such....

Not long now brother!

End of the month is the target, then it'll be in and out of the garage in build mode again HA

Lurking in the shadows huh lol

Could be an idea to get a meet going?

If you do get a meet going, I'm happy to send some stickers over for you guys. I'm super keen to help the NZ community get more active again.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
