maybe I should look into the OEM kit as well... The quality of the hose kit I have seems to be ok though.

@ Chris - Basically do the good old screw driver test on the sill. You'll see if and where its buggered pretty quickly. I found that mine had rusted through a couple of panels near the dog leg. I dont know if its common for them to rust out around the wheel arch. Mine looked like it had been dodegied up in japan.

Just be prepared - once you start digging you might find shit you dont want to deal with!

This car is in Holsworthy? and i didnt know?

Mine is one suburb away. If you need some ideas for what to do next lol

Also if you change your mind about pulling the engine i can help you do turbos in the car, its not too bad a job just takes a while.

Cheers Jeff! Would be sweet to catch up at any rate! The engine is definately coming out - I just seem to keep having set backs... My mechanic's father just passed so this week is out, and most likely next week as well... The gearbox is getting a freshening up...

Whats done to yours?

Quick update:

Due to the amount of driving I do I wanted a slightly more comfortable pew to park my fat ass on. I bought a pair of 32 gtst front seats and through the drivers in. Well, I am honetly uncertain if it is very comfortable - its hugely high compared to the gtr one. I think I'll be switching back to the gtr one soon.

Engine out update - 11th october. Box and engine will be out and the upgrade done. box is going to get a freshen up to. Will post pics and mabe a diy for pulling the engine and box.

I have been looking into a couple of options for seats. I would love to go with a VELO seat, but I cannot find a reclinable one (they're ADR approved).

All the other comfy quality seats are not ADR approved - well at least none that I have found. I wouldnt mind some of the OMP seats, but again I run into ADR compliance issues. I dont want to drive around with an illegal seat in the car as it attracts enough attention - and luckily I havent had any issues with the boys in blue since owning the car.

I had a commodore for a daily before and it bored the living crap out of me... I am willing to pay for a great pew to park myself on, just have been caught so far... I could be like you and buy a twin turbo supra to cruise around in :(

I'll find one soon I hope... I will enjoy it more once the engine is complete :)

      Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.

      I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.

      Swapped rb25de neo how to get the gear indication on the dash to work

      I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?

      Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot.

      It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
