Hey guys,

Havn't seen much of me in the last 6 months to 1 year and unfortunately don't know too many of the new members that have joined recently. For those that don't know who I am or which one my car is, I have been involved with Stagea's since back in the days of 05 when I first got mine (was my first car). From the first moment I set my eyes on a Stagea in 04, I knew that was the car for me.

I had heaps of fun and enjoyed to be involved with this forum. I want to say thank you to all those helped me through the questions that I have had in the past and all of your input was helpful. To a degree, I wish I had all the resources that new Stagea owners have now but for those that were there for the first "what the hell is this" or "what the hell does that do" or "how the hell do we do that" threads, it was fun learning things from nothing.

The Stagea has taught me a lot not only about cars but also about driving. They are a FANTASTIC car and honestly, I feel sad in having had sold mine. If I could have, I would have kept it but I am certain that many of you on this forum know what I mean when I say I had to sell it due to other financial commitments.

Now, for those interested in what happened to the car on Saturday it boarded the spirit of Tasmania and went down to Tasmania. I know the car is going to love it down there with the cold intake temperatures and winding roads. The final price it was sold for was $17,000 AUD with 1 years rego and no RWC. The car was sold as is with EVERYTHING on the car. Interestingly, I was asked if anything broke over the 3 years I had it, and after thinking for a while actually, the only issue I had was the cracked exhaust manifold and coilpacks. So I am sure its got many more km's/years left in it before anything will go wrong.

This was the car for those that don't know: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/19...l&p=3541817. Australia's first Series 1.5 and as far as I know, one of the most modified RB25 Stagea's in Australia. Not just engine wise, but the whole car. I worked it out as having spent over $20,000 on modifications plus the cost of the front end... oh well! It was fun!

To the new owner, if you read this, please take care of her :whistling: . She was my first, and I was her first to pull her apart and replace bits, I am sure you can understand why she means so much to me, hehehe

congrats? on the sale man.

was a very nice car. and those wheels, oh my god!

hope the new owner enjoy's it as much as alex did.

i had the chance of inspecting it when alex first had it for sale, and he was very helpful and pretty cluey about his car.

it was a hard choice for me to pick a stock one over alex's, but the new owner should, and will love it. f**king quick car for its size.

goodluck for the future alex, i know how it was when i sold my skyline, and i still see it at least once a week which totally sucks anus. so at least u wont run into it on the street, then u feeling all sad like lol.

cheers and goodluck dude

Ahhh its so sad seeing a car you've put so much effort into disapere around the corner never to be seen again (I know that pain). I saw your car for sale the day AFTER I put down a deposit on my Stagea, otherwise your car would be sitting in my drive right now, but I'm in the eastern suburbs too, so you might have caught glimpses of it from time to time.

Mind you, the Evo would certainly be putting a smile on your dial.... company car, I want your boss!

old man did what he was told to do, and I guess they *may have said "dont buy a monaro"

It's easy to get what you want when you are the boss hehe.

At least Alex managed to hold on to boost and AWD :/

Don't worry, I had RWD for a little, it was great but AWD is so much better. Plus, trust me, you CAN slide around an AWD just as well as a RWD.... :D

I am definitely going to consider an M35 as one of my future cars though, or if they make a 36 that would be even nicer.

      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.
