For anyone that may be looking for GTR Geoff, or chasing HICAS bars off him, thought i would let you knwo that he was rushed into hospital on Friday night and underwent the knide yesterday, about 4 weeks sooner then planned.

If anyone saw him Tuesday they would have seen that he was in a lot of discomfort/pain, with his back earlier back surgery not doing the job.

So if you are chasing your HICAS bar shoot me a PM and i will see what i can arrange, but you may need to be patient. Back surgery like this isnt quickly recovered from.

Thanks for the well wishes, and thanks for posting up a sitrep for me Bris. It just won't do to go MIA like that.

I was feeling poorly Thurs, and had a severe downturn Friday which had me admitted to Epworth emergency dept. Nerve compression was so severe the surgeon was concerned with permanent damage. Saturday was worse. Completely crippled, no use of left leg and excrutiating pain. Lotsa morphine.

Op went ahead Saturday, cleaned up extensive internal scar tissue from original operation 12 months ago, decompressed the nerve and removed extruded material from disc when it ruptured again. Then a quick caurterize of the disc to build scar tissue and strengthen it.

I was told by other docs that a disc fuse or replacment was necessary, but this doc is well regarded and has about 1/100 failures so i'm hoping for a long term recovery. Discharged today with less pain than I've had in months...years even. Last op took a week to get out of hospital so hope this is an indication of the expertise of the surgeon.

It will be 6 weeks before I'm doing much more than walking, and of course the bars will take longer to complete so with patience I'll get to everyone.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting.

glad it went well geoff, hopefully you'll be on your feet sooner than later!

just out of curiosity, when did you first get the prolapsed disc? did you let it heal properly when it first appeared? did it keep re-appearing?

I cant beleive its been a year since you last went under the knife.

Anyways - glad to hear you are recovering well and even glader that you are not in pain (for the 1st time in however long). :laugh:

Wishing you a speedy recovery and look forward to catching up when you are back on your feet.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.

      That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
