Has arrived! A bit of a monster but she seems to be running fine and is in a lot better condition than I had expected (the interior seems to be almost flawless :cheers:). Really happy about it and looking forward to joining the elite :(. The engine idled very smoothly.

The only damage that was obvious was a little push on the front right (when facing it) making some of the panels slightly off. Some chips of paint missing and the panels above the rear door going down to the boot are rough, I think it's just old paint and will need to be touched up. Waiting for RWC though :).

Anything I should be careful about? I intend on getting a full service while it's at the mechanic. Should I ask for new sparkplugs and a compression test?

looks good! who did you get it through? was it jspec? cause that car looks familiar....

Maybe j-spec put it up? but i bought it from Geoff and prestige.

all in all good service too, but I had to wait 4 months to finally have it here, bloody shipping :cheers:. Surprisingly it has a carbon fibre topped bonnet which wasn't even listed in the mods to the car. I guess you can say I got lucky with this one.

Yeah UPI are handling it :).

ATM i'm just going to focus on getting it up and running and cleaning anything which needs work. I don't really want to think past that until i'm totally happy with the car as it is ;). Although I confess to putting my name down for a window tint already :D.

Coped the first bit of bad news today.. clutch is rooted :(, gotta get a new one.. owch. Probably happened after I bought the car too, which totally sucks. On the flip side the car apparently drives really well :).

      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...
