So it looks like the 18th & 19th September at Phillip Island. Its a big ask but if Geoff and i get our hands dirty then im a chance. As soon as the mechanics fix my door we can get started on getting the thing running again.

And im being serious, does anyone know of a cheap daily driver getting around, Say under 2k.

Bring it on mate. I'll show you why the army trained me as a rapid combat repair specialist. As the saying goes "It doesn't take me all day to do a days work"

I'm now in the process of ensuring the turbo stays tight and getting the brake pedal height adjusted so the new MOMO carbon racing pedal set is perfectly positioned for H&T. Might even pull the master cylinder out and the calipers and service them all.

I dont hink i can supply enough Real McCoys to quench your thirst :alcoholic

Any help would be great, dont forget to bring your car, as an RB26 might be going in and we may need a few odds and ends off your car to get mine running. Troy wants the RB20 replaced, Roy wants an RB26

Roy vs Troy , who will win :fight!: ...truth is its not really up to us, it depends largely on circumstance and where things fall :P

*shakes fist violently at Roy for taking up too much of Geoff's expertise*

Maybe the two of you can help me with my RB25 when it lands in a month or so.

When are the Super Fun Happy Slider crew going to take on Team Wang... a bit of healthy rivalry is good.

Your GTS can go up against me, you will only have to last more then one lap and they will have me smoked :goddam:

Do you need a nice TD06 for your RB25 :P

Shan we'll be done well before then mate. All help is welcome too Chris. We were a good team Saturday night :P. Without your comments I would have taken heaps longer to start bashing the wastegate with the hammer :D

Hammer...why im outraged...how dare someone show my car so little respect. Oh actually its not like you dented my door and punched my sump in or anything?!?!?! :slap:

The plan is hatched, just have to suss when the door is getting fixed and see if the spanner session gets done before or after. Im thinking before otherwise i could be waiting to late in the month.

I found the RB74/Comp2 combo great at Wakefield, no real issues all day and I did almost 90 laps. I'm using DBA4000 slotted rotors front/back on my R33 GTS-t and they weren't dusty at all. They did squeel under light braking but were fantastic... when hot. For my 5km daily trips they were overkill so i've gone back to some cheap 2nd hand standard nissan pads which... don't have any bite but do work well enough from the very first stop.

Sounds like PI is quite a high speed trap... I think I need atleast 5 pairs of underwear for the day going on the speeds you guys were doing. In the wet you would have had to drag me into the car :P

Yep, get it done early rather than later. I imagine the people involved could take quite some time to do your repair..... unfortunatly.

I'll be sure to bring along the cheap burbon.

Oh and piss off you aint getting any bits off my beast.

LOL... with enough corner speed you dont have to worry about lag, its only those wearing skirts and high heels who tippy toe thru the twisties that need anti-lag :box:

What do you mean by lag? At a place lieke PI you wont have to worry, i found with very little chance for practice i could drive around the poor boost response of my turbo setup. I have jack all lag, but pretty weak boost threshold.

As for while you are cornering, ppl that know way more then me have my car setup so it turns very nicely whilst im on the throttle (feathered not to the floor) so power delivery is nice and progressive on corner exit.

A place like Winton, ummm , forget about it. I think any mildly modded Skyline would be frustrated around there as there isnt too much opportunity for wide open throttle blasts.

I know I sound like an opportunist, but umm I've got a spare set of RB74s. Umm does anyone want to buy them? :P
Depends how much meat is left and how much you want;) Front and rear?

a misfiring system helps you coming out of corners too, not just on wide open throttle blasts... basically it evens out the response of a car, giving it the best of both worlds, speed of a turbo and constant response like an N/A (which I'm used to).

      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...
