Tosh,

Thanks to yourself and Powerplay once again, it was a great day all round. It was also nice to meet all the fellow enthusiasts at the track, mine was the little red S15 silvia(700). I had fun chasing the racing Skylines while trying not to get too close to those flames... :happy:

Cheers

Patrick

hey!!!! i didn't recognise you, should have come and said g'day!!!!

I swear you guys must have gotten cranky at me overtakingy ou then sliding off the track every 5 seconds!!! After I overtook you guys very late on the straight.. turn 2 got quite exciting for a second there! hahaa.

nice pics E_Lu-SHuN, especially love the one where I'm heading for the dirt.... that's how it's done boys!

can't wait to get the new clutch in and hit the track again on sunday!

Hi guys & gals,

Terry (Bathurst R32 GTR) and Rod (Gibson R31) phoned this morning to say a special thank you. They really enjoyed meeting everybody and had a great day.

Terry promised he will buy new tyres before the next track day, he has been putting it off because the GTR hardly ever goes out on the track.

So with new tyres fitted expect to see the GTR running at full pace at the next track day :P

Oh, and Rod has informed me he is bringing his passenger seat to throw me into :D

Cheers

Jo

Hey Arup,

Yes I have been lurking here for a while now, I had lots of fun trying to get into the 11's on the day I think a set of semi-slicks is the go but maybe I can find .23 of a second somewhere... :D

Good to see you guys go back on the track in the afternoon after you were looking at leaving early... :D

Cheers

A few extra pounds of boost on the main straight or a NISMO LSD perhaps? ;)

I saw you and recongnised you but every time i was around u were busy talking to others..ill c u at skidpan day again..

it was me driving when u were coming off all the time (must have been the pressure to keep up was it not? :) )

i wasnt annoyed at all, in fact it was sort of satisfying seeing an r33 not keeping up, as i drive an r33 normally..

haha i remember the late overtaking on the straight, i though id let you through since i was planning on catching you in the corners later anyway, it felt like a proper race at that point haha, although i was slightly worried that you would come off the track badly halfway through the manouver and take me out lol!

its a shame you couldnt get into the 11s but i guess it will just make it more fun for next time!

you were the one who really convinced us to stuff leaving then for work and go back on the track, the last session finished the day off well since we were standing around waiting for ages before that! thanks for convincing us and helping quickly dump all the stuff we had packed back onto the floor :)

Looks like everyone had a great time.

Wish I could have made it but a little hard to thrash a zed without a motor.

Thanks Tosh for the invite and I'll do my best to make the next track day. ;)

thanks nfi (ps i have nfi where your post went, looks like someone deleted it!)

the mx5 looked like a heap of fun, so many people underestimate them coz they look so girly! lol

I think if I had spent a little more time behind Kennedy I would have been able to creep my way a little bit closer to your 1.18 as he's an excellent driver!

Can't wait to see the s15 out there!

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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.
