just wondering on this subject, i have my 33 off the road doing up all fancy interior bits and stuff.. i took the back pannel off the other day and im wondering how easy it is to get the light up skyline badge on it... or is that a completly different item? is it as simple as just slipping a neon in somehow?

I'm also interesting in getting the 'SKYLINE' lit up as well. I remember that there used to be a tutorial around here somewhere, but I have spent the last hour searching and came up with nothing.

Cheers.

hey. i tryed this on a`series2, but it will not pull out. does this just pull out?, felt like it would not even move?

Have you removed the 4 nuts from the inside of the boot?

Then there are about 3 clips holding it in place, which come off easily

i just started doing this, loox good. ill post my pix up later when it all drys. i done black gloss on a silver garnish. i found it beta to tape arond the letters first, then sand it, that way you could sand the edges of the letters were some of the tape may of grabed, then you can paint the hole 3d leters perfect on the sides as well. :yes:

      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)?
