not sure Dale. I wasn't there and didn't get regs or anything for the event. Hopefully Giant or Brenken will see the thread. I have a mate who ran there too, so i might give him a call and find out how he went.

Not surprised, most sprint organisers don't like it when people drift... to much chance of wrecking stuff !

Alot of the guys at the Townsville one were starting to do it , and we just got a big chat too last meeting. As ours is run on the Townsville Kart Track... the kart track owners were getting annoyed with it.

That black GTR was at the first local hillclimb this year .... was quite a weapon for sure..... and he now holds the track record by 3 seconds !

Although there website's main index.htm page is damaged/missing , i found my way in and saw this notice ...

Quote:-

The Track is approximately 960 meters long with two 45 degree right hand turns, several chicanes and then into a right hand hairpin turn leading onto the main straight. This will be a Race Track and not a Drag Strip !! No Drifting allowed !!!! "

Hey Gary,

Thought that might have been the gtr that simon said came up there and blitzed it. It was on tv, winning the NSW dutton rally.

Yeah the drifting comment looked a big amateur though on that webpage.

I bet jaimen in our old T18 was one of those drifters too, lol.

Hi Tim, yeah well it's understandable they don't want it . Crowds love it of course..

Yes it certainly was a fast car.

One of many i think ! Also this was the event just after the gtr had the off on the cool down lap, and took a gouge out of the bitumen... so they were really cranky.

i don't know if any of those guys have ever been to a drag stip, but i haven't seen a drag strip yet that has a corner after 200m for you to drift. i'm sure people drift the corner at the end, but that isn't part of the drag strip, thats just a return road which i would class as the pits.

      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...

      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.
