Ooooooh, I know! I will post the story of my horrendous day in here! I already told all the NSW whores, but I know those of you that are in here at night would LOVE to know >_<

I woke up at 3.46am this morning to one hell of a crash! Then there was rustling, and talking... I naturally thought people were breaking into my house! So I sat on the bed for a bit, wondering what the hell I should do. Andy wasn't there, so I was thinking whether I should wake up my housemate... hrmmm... I tapped on his wall... no sound... so I knocked on his wall... no sound... eventually I get off the bed and wander over to my bedroom door!

I can see a light coming from under the door... f**k! Someone IS in my house. Noooooooo... I don't hear anything for a while, so I open the door and peek out... nothing seems to be out of order... so I take a wander out into the loungeroom... still nothing... I can hear voices... I look out the front door and see a ute with a great pile of stuff in the back! They are loading stuff into it from garage number 3. WTF? So I stay up for a bit, and eventually they close the garage door, and drive off. I go back to bed. Can't sleep. I lie awake until about 5.00am. That's when I hear my housemate get up to get ready for work *sigh*

I must have fallen back to sleep at some stage, because when I wake up, it is to my mobile ringing, not my alarm clock. I look over, and the time is 3.30am... wait a minute... that's not right! I look at who's calling, and it's work. I answer it. They want to know where I am! I say... I don't know. I will call you back. Then I check the time on my phone... 9.03am! ARGHHHH!!! The f**king power went off some time between 5.00am when I went back to bed, and 6.00am when the alarm was meant to go off!

So I jump out of bed, call a cab while i'm ripping my PJ's off, throw on a random outfit hoping that it matches, and run out the door.

:(

so whats the deal with the people robbing the other garage? you just let em help themselves? why didn't you call the cops? or get the rego number of the ute?

well, number 3 has been vacant for MONTHS... but she keeps coming back to get random stuff that she's left behind. So when I saw it, I just thought it was her and her brother back again! It didn't really click in my mind that it was 4am >_<

    • 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.
