I assume by jack stands you mean axle stands? Are they the cast or tubular variety? In regards to the Australian Standards issue, can someone clarrify if there is a distinction between A.S. approved and "complies with", because with many regulations there is a huge difference. Usually "complies with" implies that the manufacturer warrants the product meets the stated specification, whereas approved means its been submitted for inspection and documentation is issued to show the item has been found to meet the specification.

Just to add a bit more. From an Australian Standards policy document:

All Australian Standards are, in themselves, voluntary; however, between one-third and one-half of all Standards are referenced under State or Commonwealth legislation. A number of Australian Standards relating to the safety of consumer products or information about consumer products are referenced in Mandatory Standards under the Trade Practices Act (TPA).

The TPA is a Commonwealth law and controls the activities of corporations. State and Territory Governments also have controls on consumer products under their Fair Trading Acts which extend to the activities of sole traders and partnerships. In recent years, there has been considerable progress in harmonizing Commonwealth and State controls on the supply of consumer products.

The Mandatory Standards under the TPA control the supply of goods, as opposed to the usage of goods. For instance, State traffic laws require that cyclists must wear an approved bicycle helmet; however, the Mandatory Standard under the TPA ensures that only bicycle helmets complying with AS/NZS 2063 can legally be sold. If the usage of a product is controlled, but the supply is not, there is a possibility of consumers purchasing products in good faith that cannot be legally used.

Sorry for the hassle, but you can understand my concern given the possibility of serious injury should equipment like a jack fail. I am genuinely and seriously interested in purchasing; I'm not just tyre kicking for the hell of it.

Nick,

Thanks for that. I managed to drag up the appropriate government document anyway: http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/663755

Although the standard itself mandatory, compliance with the standard does not involve any submission and certification (i.e. the manufacturer certifies the product). So everything is hunky dory.

Soon as I get a little cash (hurry up ATO!), I'll shoot you a PM.

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
