Thanks dudes.

Actually the problem wasn't too bad except meggala sold me the car with broken head gasket and a bottle of chemi-weld. I didn't want more chemi-weld holding it together so I had the head rebuild with full Nissan vrs kit.

When the cams came out 1 ring thingy had a groove on it and one lobe had a chunk out of it so I got some cams from Anthony last night so I could have my car before the weekend.

Nic, unfortunately they're just stockers cos I couldn't afford anything else, which is unfortunate cos all this car needs is some cams+rocker arm stoppers and a safe 230rwkw here we come. Hopefully I'll pick up some power because what caused the cams to wear down was crap buildup in the head itself and that's all gone now. I had a look at the head and it's so cleeean... SO clean.

Other things being done are wheel alignment with more camber (4degrees.. which still isn't heaps) and caster (as much as possible).

The dump-pipe is gonna get some weld treatment too because the xforce dump pipe splitter has gotten lose again (common problem with them).

Just got the word too - it'll be ready tommorrow, which is a pity I was gee'ed at the possibility it would be ready today but it's still on schedule so I'm happy :rolleyes:

*group hug*

lol

Well this is assed. Nathan rang me to tell me one gasket hadn't been included in the vrs kit and he had expected to get it in this morning but it's a no show... unless it gets there by 3pm and he gets time to do it I won't see it till tommorrow.

And then there's always the chance it doesn't get there today in which case I'm up the ass cos I won't have my car for the weekend... Nice of him to call and lemme know.

Pray for mojo.

Isn't 4 deg camber a lot for the street? Or don't you drive it often?

I drive mine to work everyday so i'm runining 2.5deg camber and about 8 deg caster with a bit of toe out.

When I got it it had about 8 deg. I had it put down to 1.5-2 deg which I don't feel is enough. I think 4 will be a good compromise - and I drive it a fair bit :(

:D Bruva.....long time no chit chat.... sorry to hear about the dilehma! But yeah Nath is a champ :) and will always look after you! Where i got my ceffie fully serviced and turbo / gearbox change..blah blah blah

At least yours is on the road (well sort of). Mine is an expense dust collector atm. To many things have gone wrong with it and I cannot afford to have them fixed atm. ECU fried......front passanger suspension fcuked, new coil pack needed....and on and on and on. :(

Will have to pop over sometime to say G'day....

Damn I ain't getting my car back today. The supplier got my gasket in but couldn't deliver (too late). Luckily Nathan has actually gone to pick it up so I can have the car back tommorrow.. what a f**king legend.

Just needs a couple of minor things done to it and hopefully I'll have it tommorrow arvo.

Good to hear tom!

We do need to organise a day trip or something... I can relate to the cefiro issues - One week Blew the diff out -

Then hit a large lump of sandstone on the edge of the road.

Now I have to get the front subframe cut, bashed and welded because its out 12mm which has pushed the right castor rod back and stuffed the way the wheel sits...

12mm sounds so little but stuffs up so much.

We should all have another dyno day some time!

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
    • 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
