It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

Should be good to not spend that money on the new g'box if you don't have to.

Went for a drive last night with the new oil.. no results. Same as before, owell at least i gave it a shot before blowing the money on the box.

M3 would be nice :)

If I got rid of/something happend to the skyline I'd get an E46 M3

.... Well actually I'd probably get a 33 or 34 GTR but anyway...

Was thinking of getting one anyway, but not real practicle and a bit to expensive

I want another sports car but living in north queensland really isn't the place for one, having to plan out your route everytime you go for a drive gets pretty annoying after awhile. Can only go to certain servo's sucks arse too. Getting a 4wd so i can go anywhere and when it floods every year i can actually go places and wont have to worry about pothole. f**ken Mackay roads are shit. :)

Most annoying thing would be slowing down to a stop in order to get into a driveway here and having some dickhead sit up your arse and blow the horn at you. Had some bitch in a captiva or some POS do that to me getting into my own driveway when there was another un-occupied lane right next to me she could have quite easily drove around or merged lanes but nooooooo has to blow the horn and get up my arse.

Bogans in an old cruiser wagon were right up my ass at auto corner when I was doing 60 then went past and stared at me as they were doing it.

May have boxed them in to stop them speeding but. I'm just a nice guy stopping people getting speeding tickets though :)

The amount of people that look at me like I'm retarded then do 80 in a 60 zone makes me wonder.......

Anyone know a guy named Grame? Just saw him in the Opposite Lock 4wd accessories shop wearing one of Ben Earl's GTR shirts. Btw i want one of those.. looks like a good round the house weekender shirt

He just came back into the shop and i had a chat to him briefly, think he said he works for Viking?

Is Ben's name on the shirt? If so I'm not sold at all :P

Think I have found a colour for my cam covers, It's pretty similar to the colour I already have but its a little nicer and has a little more metallic through it. Will see If I can get a good photo later on

      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.

      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.
