I guess it would depend on what mods it had done....dont make the mistake of thinking skylines are the only fast cars out there....it is very much the opposite

yeh, but my statement was referrin to the fact that a RB25 engine is in a VN commodore. That just isn't right!!!!!

I remember 2 or 3 years ago some dude rocked up at Yatala BP on a Saturday night in a VP ute with a supra twin turbo engine.

He got majorily paid out on and bag to death both to his face, behind his back and on the forum for wks.

if its dirty looking and been dodgely done, then that gets a mega thumbs down, if its done nice and clean and wasnt done just for the wank factor i.e actually has decent power then thats fine

Yeah it wouldnt be my choice of mod...but it is better than trying to modify the bag of crap that normally sits in the engine bay.

And the VP would be a weapon...who cares what it is everyone should just let results do the talking

No im not crabby?? Well I want meaning to be anyway!

Swoit...so how long till it is finnished then?

Hey Karen, if you are still having trouble finding a supplier for the stickers, I may be able to help. We get our helmet stickers in Canada. You send them a hi-res pic and they send you a proof and then you pay for the quantity you want. Not cheap but they will last around 10 years!!

We get 50 pair (left and right facing) for about $80au landed. That is three colours and re-usable!! they are about 2 mm thick though, but I'm sure they can do anything you want. I will email my guy over there and ask.

thats still pretty cool

Is it painted now?

engine bay yes, all engine covers & plenum yes, exterior of car no need to get some rust removed before i do the exterior and need the engnie back in so i can take it to someone

    • 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.
