your monthly expenditure would go sky high if you bought that do luck kit, and the double six rims.. :)

however i would have to touch it if you id buy it too, so damn nice!

I am planning on having the car 10 or so years (touch wood) and the kit+rims will come to around $5000 before paint and fitting B)

If I will, these are the only rims and kit that I'd get :P

Guys, be real careful buying 'cheap' kits. I, like many others, have beeen bitten badly, ie, I was quoted $1000 to fit the damn front bar cos it was so badly out of shape and in such poor condition.

I also bought a bar from a local manufacturer, and I had to get it redone 3 times before it was right - such a screw around.

It seems like you will pay either way - either pay a bit extra and get a decent product to start, or buy cheap and start saving like hell to get it fitted (then often it wont look that great anyway).

If you buy a good quality kit, it will cost alot less to fit - net result is it may actually cost less, and you have a quality finish you are happy with (eg, I bought a genuine front bar, and it fitted straight up, perfectly)

There area few places that sell genuine, such as C-red (Msport and Wise sport), team jetspeed (the qld mob, not nsw), D1 Garage (origin lab), and also, there area couple of places that do VERY good copies, such as monkey warehouse in Qld. the thing is though, the price for a good copy wont be hugely cheaper than genuine, as a good product takes time to manufacture properly.

good luck with the hunt.

normally you have to do something stupid to get ripped off on ebay, just want to see if the theory still holds.

That is the nicest looking R32 body kit I have seen in years. ( anyone know more details about this kit? )

Do any Australian suppliers stock Do Luck kits and rims?

I like the look of the Double Six rims and the T2 3 Peice Kit....

      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.
