the murray/ skiing thing is a good idea..... so long as no dirt roads to get to the property.

it does seem like my life revolves around my car at the moment, so valid point Erica. So long as you're buyin the wine, i'll share.

Whats something we could hire/ do if we all chip in a bit of cash?

Fine - here is one for you Brad. Next cruise -

Alice springs for a BBQ, then whip over to Ayers rock for a

quick photo shoot.

Dont laugh - I am serious! The LS1 boys & I are already talking

about it. So better save up for some 1:1 gears for your torry.

Barossa drinking session sounds fun - but could still be done with

a pack of Skylines & designated drivers(who's going to drive my cars?)

Murray Bridge cruise/ski is obviously a separate event but would still be great to do some time before the water gets too cold.

The next (& last Sat night) street drags is on April 5th - so that weekend is out for me as I am taking 2 cars & will be very busy.

How about we organise something for the last weekend of March?

If i cannt drink, I'm not comming on a piss up. Even if it does mean driving the 34, EVO or Blue Hearted Monsta.:burnout:

What did I just say?!?!?!?!

I hope the SUNDAY MARCH 30th idea that Andrew put forward suits everybody, cuz it suits me (and Erica, being a Sunday).

The Alice idea sounds good but, last I checked you could not get premium between Port Agutta and Alice, that was back in January though so it could have changed. Hey brad ive normally got room for a passanger if you need a seat. Ill be at the drags on the 5th, hopefully they will let me run this time.

Seeing as the idea of a big get together is to put faces to names/alias' & get to know everyone, why don’t we organise a pub/restaurant/piss up kind of 'do' rather than a car cruise type of thing, yes? kind of like the LS1.com.au guys do. They have pizza nights.

We can book somewhere well in advance, everyone can have a few drinks, (organise group taxi’s - to & from - if need be) & plenty of time in one spot for everybody to mingle so on...

If people want to party on (casino?) afterwards then they can. Those of us with youngsters (there's at least a few of us) can get them looked after for the night & bring along the missus too!

Ok so this idea doesn't involve our cars much but we can organise cruises till the cows come home later down the track!

If you guys/girls like this idea then I'm suggesting we book in at The Bombay Bicycle Club on Torrens Rd, this place ROCKS! :D Then it's on the casino to win (more likely lose) some $$$ :D

Just a suggestion : )

Im sorta favouring Whatshisname's (Matt) idea of a social gathering rather than a car orientated event.

The idea behind this suggestion by Andrew was to get to know people in the group. An evening of wining/ beering/ bourboning/ vodkaing (for the sissies) sounds great I think. Get a few drinks into people and watch the social inhibitions fly out the window.

People could makje their own way to this Bangladeshey Bikers Gang Head Quarters (unless their are other ideas of venue), and then off to the casino sounds good.

A daytime cruise that was also bought up can be organised for another day, perhaps just not the day after!!!:D ouch.

Cool! I guess we'll wait & see how many are keen for the night out option. If it has a majority vote then when Andrew gets back we can start the ball rolling. Gotta' wait to get Andrew's gives the OK. He did come up with the idea :D

Hey John have you got a few spare bucks hanging around? Maybe buy a few Autech Stagea's as group transport for SAU piss-up nights :P Of course they'll need to have done @ least a 10sec pass as well :D

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      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...
