Yeah that's ages, what's taking him so long? Two weeks is a long time, three weeks maybe.. but SEVEN?? I'd ask what is taking him so long. I mean, the process is virtually straightforward!

My mates R32 took 4 hours to comply and have it registered on the road. He used the stock belts and anchor points and just had the engineer test and sign off on them. MUCH CHEAPER.

Had to put an Unleaded only sticker on the inside of the petrol flap and a gromet in the firewall. Took the inspection papers down to the local DMV and $700 later walked out with is plates rego sticker.

Now having said all this mine is taking a little longer as im also doing bodywork to the car to get it 100% road legal (and so it looks the goods) but after that is done then its about 2 hours that the engineer needs my car, checks it over, take it to get the RWC and then off to the DMV and register my bad boy.

I dont know what its like with other states but down here if you have your car "booked in" somewhere that it needs to go while your getting it on the road then you dont need a day permit at all.

I have just spent the last 2 day in my car with no plates or permit and i was pulled over once (he was letting me know that i my indicator wasn't working right) but nothign else was said. "Why dont you have any plates on the car son?" "Well officer i have just imported the car and im on my way to (insert place here) as part of my compliance to get it on the road."

"oh ok no worries then, take it easy then as i hear those import cars can be a handfull"

"Yep will do officer, thanks for the warning :werd: "

man walking and taxing it around is soo not worth it for 7 weeks, i can afford a cheap bomb with the money i taxi around, dont take that sh*T! just tell him how much shi*T hes causing u too, if he wished he never started on ur car, then simply take it back.

hope things work out for u.

he said he had to clean the injectors or something.. flow bench test or some crap...

he said he will be testing how it goes tonight after he gets it back togethor..

all i need after that is a resonator as my exhaust is a little too loud...

i said im coming to get it wednesday.. after 7 weeks it would want to run like a dream.

got my car back..

i guess it runs a little better.. but not good enough for the price i paid

the breaks are awesoem and look good too..

i was charged $3300

I guess when you purchase a performance Skyline for cheap that has had the life sucked out of it, its going to be the Australian workshop fault not yours for buying a well used third or fouth hand GTR with issues and worn out parts and then expect a compliance shop to warrant it fit for road use and allow it on the road. Seams real fair? I understand most shops have to wait for seat belts as they make them to order.

Your choice cut corners and do it on the cheap or get it done right?

      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)?
