When you work a car its always the same.. you get alot of power, then not long after you get bored of it. Its a never ending cycle which cost sh|tloads!

Track work sounds like the best way to go because being a street driven car Im sure most of the power is used to run in a straight line but hit the track and really take the car to its limits

Yes... also if you can, get someone good to drive it at a training day like a driving instructor (many of them are utter penii though) or racing driver to jump in the car and show you what it can do... you will be amazed. Though again, choose carefully.

Obviously I'm all in favour of you taking it to the track Chris as well.

Infact I have also promised you a drive in my car - just never had the chance to take you for a spin. Maybe I can take you for a passenger lap at a track day if you like?

But for me a great example of someone going to the track is ferni. When I first met ferni he was pretty crazy on the street. But at his first track day I think he quickly learnt a) How fast his car really is. B) How much he still had to learn to drive it properly and c) How doing those speeds on the track is a hell of a lot more sensible than on the streets after he did make some mistakes when trying to drive fast.

Doesn't matter what type of thing you do - whether its a club sprint, drifting, or something like an advanced driver training - get out somewhere and safely take you car to the limit and really enjoy the power you have. I can almost garantee at the end of it you will be thinking about how to best improve your handling, grip and stopping rather than your power as well.

I have gradually lost the fun of driving my skyline, and need some ideas to get it to kik me in the arse again. Most of you know my car has 250rwkw and right now i found that.. well... boring. I think it may be the fact that im used to it and it doesnt surprise me anymore. What are some cheap ways to squeeze power into it, keeping in mind that it has stock engine internals and is running a GT-2835

Chris try driving to work and back in peak hour traffic on the freeway known as the carpark everyday damn day of the week and not being able to get over 80km/h most of the way amd see how much fun it is, and when you get around 280 km/tank and have to fill up atleast twice a week!!!!!!

Thats y i am getting another car as a daily driver soon coz the line pisses me off driving to work!!

I have found there are not many places to use the power on the street unless you go out late at night to have a play!!!!

That is true, before my first track day I was looking for more rwkw, after a day at the track the direction turned to spending money on the handling side of things.

Track days are the best way of finding out how much more you need to learn about driving your car.

Yet another vote for spending the cash on track time.

Nitrous Kit. 75hp shot $900 fitted, ready to go. Unlike popular belief they don’t add wear and tear when used in small shots, and in moderation. And on the up side, you only use the extra power when you hit the button, so less strain on the motor, apposed to having the extra hp there all the time with bigger turbo for example.

That will teach you to buy such a powerful car at age 17/18. Lol!! You should have got a shit box to putt around in so you apprieciate the natural progression of owning betting cars.

I reckon if I had your car back when i got my licence I would be currently living at Fawkner Cemetry, not becasue I'm reckless but because it takes a few years to gradually learn how to drive properly and react to situations that happen on the road even if your the safest guy on earch.

If people say your 'crazy' its probably because you do stupid shit to make them think that and I'm sure having 250rwkw doesn't make the situation any better

If the turbo in ur car is infact a GT2835 (looked smaller) then just turn the boost up

for obvious reasons im sure even a blind and mute spastic can understand.... dont do this with ur stock internals and stock ECU... its already running plenty.

have it tuned with a PFC, get an oil cooler and go for a blat on the track :D dont want anything going bang so mak sure its tuned properly first

doubt he has a stock ecu and 250rwkw.

Obiviously added boost means retune and he still has another 50rwkw he can go before she goes bang

I have a stock ECU with a chip, and yes it is a 2835 as it was checked by benny from Chasers, ice performance had no clue (no surprise there).

im already running 17 pounds, dont think i want to push it any more. the reason my car is only running 250 kw is that it is resticted by the computer and the injectors so it cant even be tuned for that turbo well.

So yeah Ni i think ill just get the powerfc and oil cooler which will give me more power :D (when i can afford it lol) and then hit the trackkk

    • 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.
    • 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...
