I went to Hobart for 6 weeks, for work. Suffered major skyline deprevation, especially with all those mountains!!!! :P

Would like to go back for a couple of days with my car and have some serious fun. Good thing about it, is that 10mins outside the city and you are heading up the twisting roads of the mountain.

i was away from mine for a month.. didnt miss it.. ****ing petrol!! but damn it felt good to get back in it. Then again recently same thing, i didnt drive it for a week cos I made the g/f taxi me around, but it always feels good when I get back in. Im in QLD now and havent driven her for 1 week.. only 3 more weeks to go.. it ok tho, i have been driving boxheads new r32 gtst up here, so im still getting my skyline fix.

yo!, im about to head up to whistler now, for the night, im coming back early because i hate the job i have and it isnt really covering my expenses, i also want to see japan on the way home. ive seen the entire west coast down to san diego, ive checked out all of vancouver, in a week or so im going on a 6 day rocky mountain tour, i think thats enough.

-peace

i cant say that i miss driving my car cause im picking it up for the first time tomorrow morning. very excited cause it has been about 2 months since i bought the car (trouble with the bank). the only problem is that i have to take it straight to compiance so wont see it for another few days.

also, it couldnt be any worse timing cause if it wasnt for easter i could have picked it up on thursday and had it complied by tomorrow. first time in my life that i havent wanted a long weekend.

i have missed driving "A" car. since i started this stupid rb25 sil conversion. 11 months later and still ages away. feel like blowing the piece of shit up.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRat kick the tyre, kick the tyre, kick the tyre, kick the tyre, kick the tyre, kick the tyre.

hehe.

I have been away for about 5 months now. I have not driven my car for so long, and the worst part is this: my car was still waiting for the camshaft when I left and now it is all ready waiting for me in the garage with the new camshaft on!

I enjoy my driving so much, but now I am stuck for another month or two in a city where traffic jam is literally around-the-clock! And the only performance car availablto me is a 200-HP E36 Bimmer in auto! Auch!

dunno but im going tomorrow

i think its almost done, as everything is in from engine to gearbox to diff, but i was missing the afm plug and they were gonna wire directly but thought against it as its a sensitive bitch so finally found the plug. oil should be going in soon to see if the engine works :) (btw the plug wasnt the reason why it has taken long, reason is unknown but doesnt worry me as long as the work is done properly which im sure it will be :))

just got back after a week, of being driven by a friend on a trip in a non turbo car. Just got back today, done a lap to get the car warmed up, no boosting (was so temped) filled her up had about 5L left. filled her up warmed her up and is getting some rest for some good ol' boosting tomorrow. I just cant wait...

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • 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...
    • 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?
    • 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.
