Due to a few SAU members turning up to the calder evant i though i would just post up the details as there are 3 entrants for saturdays club day

Lee Wilson A Nissan Skyline

Patrick Yu A Nissan Skyline

Frank Piccioni A Nissan GTR

Franks car is a real weapon and is well driven usually resulting in the fastest time for the day ( rexy boys are close though) , if you want to see a well modified R33 GTR in action it could be well worth the effort.

Both me and Roy were looking at attending this day (because Roy said 1:25's around Sandown would be easy and he's never even been there before!) - but that damn thing was sold out in a few days and we missed out.

And my car is better already. Thanks to ylwgtr2 for having a "spare" clutch and for Gerald who has hardly done anything other than work on my car / clutch / gearbox in the last few weeks. haha.

:Oops: It was actually 1:20s that i thought would be easy :P

LOL... to clarify i did say 1:30s should be easy in a Skyline with susp work, no speed limiter and sticky rubber.... 1:25s were the target time that i would hope i could get near after driving round and round hundreds of times...

And i am having another std RB20 thrown in my car, so will still get to test my theories, and you get to laugh at me when i cant get under 1:30sec :Oops:

Bah I could do 1:20's in an excel.
If it was towed by Bens GTR.....

BTW is it a Sydney fetish to waste money on brakes?? ROY?????

I find mine are pretty good with racebrakes pads and slotted fronts (not DBA, $560 a set of 4 discs), but I do service them a lot and regularly get a few little bubbles. They feel squishy straight away so I know when they need treatment.

So who wants to go for a look?

Yeh my brakes have alway held up well, no probs, but i have never put 220+rwkws and sticky rubber at them and have always had a speed limiter...so have never really asked them to handle much abuse. Will find out soon enough at Phillip Island.

Does anyone know how Phillip Island is on brakes, looking at the layout i wouldnt think it is nearly as hard on brakes as Sandown. Meh brakes only slow you down anyway :(

As for modesty, hell i let everyone know just how bad a driver i am, put your money down on me spinning a few times everytime i go the track, im a sure thing :(

I'm going to try and get down there, but only a 20% chance... for some reason I thought it was Sunday, from the Maserati club calendar of events

Planned for sunday and was free too :)

Roy, I've never been to PI myself but everyone whom has been there has given me one simple bit of advise.

"Make sure you have good brakes". I agree it seems to be rather flowing but not having been there myself I guess you just have to listen to the advice of other who have.

      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)?

      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...
