Well, I been lurking around these forums for a few days picking up bits of useful info here and there so I thought I should do the neighbourly thing and introduce myself...

I'm from Brissy and I just bought a silver 96 R33 series II GTST. Still getting a few things sorted on the car, bit by bit as money rolls in, and the wealth of information on these forums have been invaluable! Just shows what a community can achieve helping each other eh?

Well I'll be around here for a while I reckon so cheers to you all and hopefully see you on a cruise sometime soon! :(

G'day mate,

Welcome to the forum. You didn't happen to buy your car from Sunnybank did you. I looked at a 96 Series 2 from there before I bought mine, and it seemed a bit dodgy. The paint looked like a bit of a dodgy respray, and for a car with so few km's, it certainly was pretty rattly / loose feeling. Anyway hopefully you got it checked out first if it was the one I am thinking of.

See you around the place. Go the silver 'lines.

Brendon.

Welcome :)

I might take some pics tomorrow, got a couple that the guy I bought it off took but I had to remove a few stickers...looks cleaner and classier now :D

I didn't get it from sunnybank, got it up at caloundra. It's had a bit of respray but hasn't had any major prangs (according to the guys that checked the bodywork and stuff). I think a lot of these cars get resprays either before leaving japan or getting here, just fixing up dings and stuff I guess.

I did get a bunch of useful info, esp. about removing interior panels to get a new stereo in (should be in tomorrow, listening to the engine is nice and all but it feels lonely cruising around alone with no tunes :cheers: )

I'm usually cruising around auchenflower/toowong/milton/UQ area as that's where I live and play a lot....rego is 264HVI if you see me around say "hi"

I've only had the car two days...man I'm so in love...I'd sleep in the garage if my girlfriend would let me. I said this to her on the first night...she thought I was kidding lol.

My girlfriend got the 5hits up coz I told her she would always come second to the skyline. That, coupled with the fact that I have been going out with the skyline for 2 years and her for 3.5 years.

I am bad. I didn't mean it though. She thinks I did.

Was that through a private sale? Cause my friend and i went to look at one in sunnybank that the guy was asking $20,000 for, completely stock. It looked very dodgy though.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
