Hey dude, any word on the car yet? 

Sadly, no update at the moment.  Block has been at the machine shop since late August, but they're typically a 3-4 weeks turnaround time.  Hopefully soon though!

How are you enjoying yours?  Anything new?

I've had to adjust my expectations on this projects timeline, and I'm not hopeful to have my car back that soon, but maybe I'll get lucky.

Well that's unfortunate, sorry to hear that. 

I've been driving the nuts off mine, all over the place man haha. As far as new additions, I installed a new stereo system. Nothing crazy, but way better than the OEM paper speakers. Tonight I'll be cutting the resonator out of the exhaust for a little more noise. It's got what looks like an Apexi Dunk Megaphone Honestly, that's about it. Home projects have slowed down the ole' Skyline fund!

I'm jealous! I didn't get much seat time before the bearings retired lol. I'll definitely make up for the lost time though!

Definitely let me know when you get it back on the road; I'd love to meet up and check that thing out! 

I certainly will.  I haven't seen an R33 up close, other than spotting one on the highway, so I'm excited to see yours!

It's funny; before I went to check out this car the first time, it was the first time I'd ever seen an R33 in real-life haha. I've had the car since July 15th, and I haven't seen another one yet. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any R32's since then either.

Car is almost done!  I'm planning to pick it up next weekend and I can't wait.  How's it going over there in KG?  You still driving the R33 or have you put it away for the winter?

Fantastic! Things are good; I’m still driving the car! Just went on a little cruise the other night! Glad to hear yours is almost done!

Someone near me got a r33 gtr in January or February but I haven’t seen it yet. I’m in NY btw. I’ve heard many people talk about them building it up so hopefully it’s really cool when they are done and not just an idea that won’t make it to the garage. I’m in Florida right now for Christmas and New Years and before u freak out cause of corona or somethin I’m here every year and I’m keeping to myself. Basically quarantined. I’m right on the beach and not many people r around so it’s easy to stay by myself. I’m looking at a car tho at an import place nearby on Monday so hopefully I leave there with a r32. Then I don’t think I’ll leave my car for the rest of my life. Stay safe everyone and good luck with all ur builds

Be very careful if you’re dealing with Montu Motors. While they do have some good cars, they also tend to have some pretty bad ones, and you have to know what to look for. Unfortunately they represent all their cars as being really good, and that’s just not the case.

@Defiance772 Did you buy a car?  

He raised the price and I was not allowed to buy it because “it’s so old for so much money and I don’t understand y u would want it” (my dads words not mine) my bank account is still in his name cause I’ve had the account like my whole life and it was never changed. This week I’ve been tryin to buy a car that he approves of cause it seems like I’m not gettin one any other way. Unless u want to start like a go fund me and get some money for me. I’m not allowed to go over $18,000 for the car and they raised the price to $20,500 and it’s non negotiable. I guess I’m going to b stuck with an E63😰. 
 

I have made a thread to keep everyone updated on... I was going to say my car but maybe I’ll make it all my car stuff but for now it’s on my car/ car buying process

      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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      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...
