He says he should have got an SS commodore. But when the gen3's where first released there were a few owners who put similar stickers on their cars, as they had similar problems. I think the first batch of gen3s consumed a bit of oil when thrashed, and obviously if the oil wasn't topped up the engines seized.

That was when the gen3 was first brought in, and the xr6 turbos are still new so problems with a few are to be expected I suppose.

Why is he a cockhead? cos he got a shitty car and you don't believe him? you sir are a knob jockey PHATR32. My dad has a brand new calais that cost him over 50,000 dollars and it was a lemon, things were constantly going wrong with it. So we got rid of it. Chances are the guy was leasing the car so it wasn't a problem for him to get rid of it, cos at the end of his lease the car is taking from him and sold off. Just like my dads car was.

Think before your write something moron.

And having seen 4 examples of a car in which thousands of them are produced anually makes you an expert on there reliabilty?

I thought not.

Actually i prefer my euro's and japanese cars, but at the moment i'd choose a BF over a VZ, but when the new VE comes out this year that may be changed.

Just igronant ramblings like that are stupid and annoying.

my mates dad has a GT-P with well over 320kw.. chip, exhaust, intake, dropped on its balls, black rims etc etc etc and not one problem

there will always be a couple of duds out of the bunch but it all depends how you treat the car in general..

      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.

      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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
