Update?

Niel's car had some slight teething issues.

The weather was perfect for spectating.

The pits/track was absolutely packed with Historic Touring Cars all guzzling about 20L of fuel a lap :(

When their weren't any cars on the track all I could hear was the drag cars at WSID ripping it up :)

I met 1 of the Lebanese A1GP drivers and had a snack with him (that guy has way too many HSBC credit cards :))

yeah there would have ben lots of the Historics there as there was the biante meet on sunday. unfortunately we didn't run spencers car as we got booted off the entry list! they had oversubscribed and gave preference to cars that had contested every round so we missed out. they gave us free tickets as compo, but as it was pissing down on sunday i didn't go out.

Neil, is everything ok now?

Yeah the rest of the day was ok - i decided just to go out and not care about the fuel (although i did go a bit slower on the big left handers)

Rang Nathan - going around tommorrow

Just loved the straight :( sideways (just for fun) on to the straight then holding all the gears flat - cant beat that feeling

It was good to put a few more names to faces

They silver GTR that was there with me - he had an awesome time plus it was his birthday

i was having to much fun to do times!! sorry

couldnt do times anyway - as the others already know i had a fuel leak problem everytime i hit a left hander (most of the track :) ) which caused litres of fuel to escape, so i took it slow(er) around the lefts and looked forward to the rights :)

bummer! pity half the track is left handers lol. I'm guessing when your car was complied they didn't properly seal the fuel filler neck restrictor. oh well at least it's an easy fix. just need some devcon and 20 mins to do it.

Little unsure at this stage Baron, Greg thinks its nothing to worry about. It pumped some oil out a breather so I have to block it off. Seems the rotor doesn't like left handers either. Next run will be on his dyno to iron out some tuning issues.

Richard I did a lazy 1.56,,,and I mean lazy.

Oh and I shouldn't forget Duncan,,,,Thanks buddy you did a TOP job. Don't forget next time you have a problem with Navara to tell Nathan it could be the toilet. HA Ha.

not bad mate 1.56 just tootling around is certainly moving in the right direction. I am seriously hoping once you have spent some time in the car, and have it all working the way you want that you can knock JP off. although i don't know if i should be encouraging a ford to beat a nissan. man i am so conflicted.

don't worry about the oil though rotors are nonstop pumping out of everywhere anyway mate. it's normal that you need to fill up with oil and fuel at the same interval :P

oh and i wont ask what the story is with the navara/toilet isssue.

Baron, just to give you an idea of a lazy lap

1/ Turn 1, button off at the 200M mark no use of brakes

2/ Cruised into 2 but up it for the rent on the exit and still into it hard through 3 and 4 (my favorite section).

3/ Cruising again till 8 (another favorite) only because of the fun you have on the exit

4/ Cruising for the rest till the lead on.

I'm not out to knock John off the top,,,but It will happen at EC. His car is way way to heavy. Jason's car will be the one to beat. Don't be conflicted buddy you know deep down you love Rota's and the Capri's a fat looking car. Hey my wife even loves it.

Apart from the oil leak the car wouldn't pull it's EC diff, (4.94) it was just getting to 8 grand in 4th at the control tower and won't rev over 8. I'm thinking it needs some serious dyno time. Greg thinks the old Mallory tacho could also be a problem as it has a rev limiter.

Enough raving I'm out to the garage.

Neil.

      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)?

      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...
