New (frustrated!) Skyline owner

Greets,

First time Skyline owner (R32 GTS-T) looking for an online community to lean on when need. I've got some issues to sort out before winter sets in, but so far I am excited about my first Skyline.

Welcome! ...but why frustrated?

I can now say Formerly Frustrated, ha! Over the weekend my GTS-T drove terribly- no boost, breaking up under load unless I babied the throttle.  I got in it yesterday morning to drive it to work so we could diagnose the issue (thankfully I work in a VW/Audi tuning shop and have techs that are enthused about Japanese imports), and after a couple coughs and sputters it's back to driving as it should, although the boost gauge on the dash is no not working.  2 steps forward, 1 step back, right?

 

My initial plans for the car is maintenance, maintenance, maintenance- new tires, alignment, fresh oil, and new coil packs.

Also, can you confirm that what's written on this sticker would indicate that the timing belt was replaced at 104300km and should be replaced again on/around December 19, 2016?

I'd read the date on that sticker as the 16th December 2019, but this wiki page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_in_Japan - suggests that your interpretation is correct - 19th December 2016. I'd be inclined to go by the kms travelled, but if the US is like Oz the reading on the odometer may be incorrect.

    • 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.
    • 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.
