Guest sir_GTR

ok drifty...Nitrate and I are definately going... I'll try to get Matt (bug) to come..and Adam & bro (both purple GTR)

If no1 comes...i'll just check out your car... u can also have a look at my Alpine...

(Whatisname wont come if its raining :) )

See you at 8-8:15 (traffic) ;)

Yes the rain has gone !!! :) :) :burnout: :burnout:

Cool andy :D , yep im still gonna be there at 8pm , I thought Nitrate wasnt going?? , was going to sailsbury to c some chick ? :). Get the buggerlugs to come for sure :)

Damn we will miss your crazy sideways car Matt, will def c u next friday tho :).

Hey Andy I have most of next friday off too :)

ahh well back to work for a few more hrs ;)

Well the cruise was pretty good..

Through the hills Julie was freaking out a little as I had to flick to low boost to try and stop the thin rear tyres from breaking loose on part throttle.. ;)

Was a tad damp also.. :)

Tyres next pay ..... damn.. was looking forward to bolting that turbo on... :)

Now its going to have to wait..

Oh well might be doing a little R&D to try and eliminate boost drop with different methods on setting up the bleed valve.

The marathon was good.

We followed the coast down to Nth. Haven then we headed down to the usual stop at BP.On the way to BP i had a running race with Andy with a walking start and he beat me by a couple of body lengths.Then we decided to go for a jog through the hills(Chain of Ponds and Gorge rd) where i nearly patted a roo and got chased by a fox.After that we ran back into town and back to the bay

I think Drift Spec is going to be up for new runners soon(spinning his feet everywhere he went :burnout: )

I had to swap to my uggies( :D Matt)through the hills as it was very cold and damp in parts,the grip was amazing though with the pace i was running at.

Everyone was buggered by the end of our marathon but it was satisfying.

    • 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.
    • 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.
