Hey all, Just wondering if anyone heard about the accident on the Clyde on monday? Heard second hand that a truck lost their brakes and cleaned up a skyline coming up the opposite direction..... Really hope it wasn't anyone on SAU (shame it happened to anyone at all though), cos apparently the guys legs looked like they couldn't be saved... total write off.

My condolences if anyone knew them.

ok... your all wrong...

I was coming back from the coast on Monday and this is what happened... (get comfy)

round 10:30 - 11am a truck that was coming down the clyde, further down the hill from the Steeper bits... came to fast around one of the corners (if anyone knows much about the coast road..its the long hill with the overtaking lane all the way up it...) which happened to be wet.. and took out a 4X4 which then also took out another 4X4 with a caravan attached which then a Camry then came and took them out. Im pretty sure thats the order.. Not much left of the camry... saw 1 4X4 with the caravan... it wasnt too bad, but now its towing a pile of sh!t behind it which some people say was a caravan.. and not sure about the other 4X4..

oh and the truck... lil smashed at the front, with a massive toe out on the drivers wheel.

The road was closed from 11am til 6pm that night..

There you have it... no skylines involved. Thank god. but, sadly enough there were 3 other cars involved.

Not sure what happened to drivers or passangers, but 1 4X4 driver was Helicoptered to hospital straight away after being cut out

      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...
