Stagefumer,

Does your car have the same radiator, size & configuration?

Mine looks heaps bigger than in these pics.

Cheers, D

I suspect the radiator may be out of an aussie R30, as there is a blanking panel added to the drivers side to cover up part of the opening in the radiator supoort panel.

Gotta admit nice engine bay :O. And you have the early brakeboost/ master. similar to the r32 units (i have one ready to be installed )

You mean later, surely?

But I'm punting this master cylinder/booster combination for the DR one.

It's same configuration as '81/3 but has a 1" diameter master cylinder. I just had to source the front brake lines from an early model car, which I now have. As I'm going with a full on DR brake set up, front & rear. Fronts with slotted rotors and EBC pads all round.

I have 15/16 master cylinders in the later configuration if anyone is interested. 2 from memory.

actaully from what i have seen, i wouldnt take this is gosple. Acording to the system at my work late 1983 onwards master cylinders changed to the smaller style one. compared to the earlyer had the r32 style master/booster. And that the brake ballance block is external to the cylinder on the after 1983 units. Which will be a pain when i swap it over to the r32 unit.

the radiator in my HR30 was a 280C radiator.

I replaced it yesterday with a radiator out of a manual MR30, which fits the full width of the radiator support opening unlike the one in the pic above. I also had to use the manual R30 top rad hose. the overflow connector faces the wrong side of the car, but that's no biggie. I also replaced the worn alt/waterpump belt and replaced the bearing in the idler puller for the power steer. Its so quiet now!

I also have a stupid question - the amber 'headlight-looking' light in the dash is on sometimes when the lights are on. Sometimes its out, and occassionally it flickers. Is this supposed to be a charge warning light??? if so, why does it look like a damn headlight?

      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.
