Danh - are you really moving to Qld? Can't believe you are going so soon! :dry: Will give you a ring and let you know what times etc. I will be there every day, so I might make a daily meet time for beer and 'fashion' shows. I will check the timetable and see when a gap in racing and bikini models coincide.

Darren - no worries mate - will give you a ring to hook up.

I will prolly post up a meet time and place on here in the next day or 2 - then anyone that wants can rock up.

Well I tried to ascertain the times of the bikini fashion parades today, but to no avail. No-one seems to know what time they will be on.

So, I will make the meet times as follows.

Place: under the shade next to the fashion parade runway/stage (I think it is in the section with the Aussie Bar).

Friday 1:15pm (after Clipsal V8s Practice 2)

Saturday 1pm (after VB Challenge)

Sunday 12:15pm (after Clipsal V8 drivers parade)

Is everyone happy with this?

Come along and catch up with a bourbon and lunch.

Hi guys,

Sorry but I have to put a LSD for the front diff. The only time I can do it before track day and my departure is tomorrow :P

We will try to get an early start and if I finish it early I will try to come out to clipsal. If you guys have any tips to speed up this process then you quite welcome to post up here or pm me.

Thanks and have fun guys.

nah sorry mate - we were too buggered (and sun-soaked) to hang around after the V8s race. Was god to catch up today - my photos of the 'bikini fashion parade' came ot pretty well too :O

Is anyone else going to actually rock up tomorrow to say hi?

I am making the meet spot right at the 'Highway 500' sign in the fashion stage area - near the sail shade thing. Hope to see some there.

      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.

      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.
