I will break it down for you, because your arguments tend to jump around all over the place until even you no longer know what your point is.

You were talking about 'on the street' and because we all know that at most events you can do what ever you want and be legal I took that off the table. So my point was, that you can have fun in a good handling car and be entirely legal, Mt Nebo for example, if you are doing the speed limit in some parts you are doing well. It is never legal to do 100mph or bake your tyres at that speed outside of an event of some sort.

I don't base my statement towards skidzzzzzzzzzzz on safety. I am sure in most situations it is perfectly safe. In every form of motorsport that means a damn losing traction is a bad thing, not something to get all excited about, It just shows a terrible suspension set up. The people that tend to jizz over skids are in my experience backwards f**kwits whos cars are not actually good at anything else. Now before you take offence I am not saying you are a backwards f**kwit, just that when whoever it may be is carrying on about skids they sound a lot like the other backwards f**kwits I have known over the years who are into the same thing.

Um I don't know about your car but my skyline has 4 seats... Plenty of room for kev robbo and Shane

They dont like not having back windows to hang their arms out of though, Its also harder to yell at people as you drive by with out back windows

I have come to the realisation that I am going to have to take my car down to Sean to install the Link and get some sort of a driveable tune in there, then sell my power FC and AFMS to afford the crank trigger, then get it put on, then get the tune finished. This will lead to a bigger tuning bill and major ass pains with driving to the coast all the time :S

I am saying YOU cant bake tyres at 160km :P. I know full well it is possible

Hehe

Nah I can't put it on any more, I had to give it back to your dad.

If he was still alive I would have told him that, he was in the RLI so he probably would have had some interesting ways to kill you! :P

Dont worry, I am not one of THOSE guys who will get all cut about somthing like that. All good

I hope nobody takes anything in here seriously... Otherwise I've probley got a lot of enemies and death threats coming my way

I think people were shocked at the AGM when I was actually being helpful and making useful points lol

    • 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.
