hey guys,

as mine is up for sale, and you all know the story by now im looking for something much cheaper to get me around for the next few years.

i've set myself an absolute limit of 5k, and mainly looking at VL's with a few little mods, but im fairly open minded, but here are the main things i want in the car.

doesnt need to be fast at all(but i wont mind if it is lol), just a nice cruiser.

needs to be clean both inside and out.

km's dont need to be low but for something like a commodore nothing over 250000kms

would prefer something local, i dont want to have to travel to far to get it.

and of course air con and power steering etc

and preferably just an auto.

so if you can just keep me in mind if you see something with the afformentioned details i'd really appreciate it.

i've got over 4k in the bank so i could buy another car now, but im not sure if i want to buy one before i sell the skyline, there is a really nice 93 commo in the paper today thats immaculate with only 180kms on it, i've had a long chat with the owner and got him down to 5.2k, so its quite tempting....

thanks again though guys,

Andrew.

i've made him an offer of $3600 and he accepted, (the car is well worth it too), i took it out yesterday evening and its really nice, good stereo, manual, and pretty much immaculate all round, and once stirlo and i attack it with some midnight purple paint its should look fantastic! (as much as a VL can) i've got over 4k in the bank so i think i might buy it now, and wait to sell mine, as i dont think i'll find anything much better than this and will save myself the hassle of more searching.

now the question is, do i spend the extra $1400 i have left over from my budget on the car? probably either paint, 18's or $600 on some nice 2nd hand buckets>? (the car needs buckets im so used to being "held in" in mine) i think i'll spend a bit of it on paint and just save the rest, after all thats the whole reason im downgrading, to save.

tell me about it, the damn "high performance race tape" being directly next to the rear left wheel, has given that wheel an extra 20kw, so every time i snap a gear the car kicks violently sideways! i should have just bought ordinary duct-tape!!! :headspin:

i think i missheard you though, did you say "dont" do anything to it? its a freaking car, its supposed to be modified!! who buys a car without the intention of crazying up the paint, slapping big rims on it or making it pump out fats beats at an stupidly high level??? NO-ONE THATS WHO!!!......*goes and buys paint just to spite leech*

      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.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      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.
