10K? Did you buy it off WhistlinDiesel?

HAHA, no actually did not. Well, the car wasnt perfect condition but not whistlindiesel condition. Little bit of rust on a few spots and not the best paint but the rust will be fixed and the paint is going for re-paint anyway. I

I'm sorry if this is harsh but if you bought a GTR for $10K 5 years ago and you're complaining then you're an absolute twatt!

Unless it's a rusty bucket of shit it's worth $50K minimum all day.

However if you bought it for $90K 5 years ago and it's now worth $50K then you might actually have something to bitch and moan about. But you didn't and it's not so smile and move on.

well, sorry. Maybe you are right. No my friend bought it for 10k 5 years ago. Rebuilt engine and turbos and other stuff for 10k and then i bought it after that for 10k or okey, maybe more like 11k to be exactly.. Yeah, maybe i am a crying baby..

Yep, definitely channeling the millennial mentality.

It was and still is a massive kiss on the dick so rejoice and be merry!

Heres a crazy idea, Get a job! Save up! Learn mechanics while you wait, you'll need it when you empty your pockets

That's a strange take

Imagine paying $30k for a 90's Japanese rust coupe that's slower than a Camry.

Good for a laugh, the 315k bid sounds like an inside job to try and generate hype but I don't think they were expecting people to have eyes.

Wow, can't believe all the pop rivets everywhere. Strut towers, sills, boot, it is mental!

Bahaha ! a friend of mine has a Aus 1995 25th anniversary 300ZX Stillen addition put out by Nissan. I believe only 30 were produced ! Less that 80k on the clock and un-molested 

I wonder what that bugger is worth ?

I think here, certainly <<$100k. Stillen no cult figure here, Z32 has general reputation for fire and electrical death. In the US though, Stillen is a minor deity and people are f**k-muppets for "numbers-matching one-of-30-in-that-colour-and-trim-combination" style bullshit.

      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

      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)?
