Ah Will, you know me mate, I love thy bling :happy:

Yeah, between your wheels and my engine bay we've got it all covered :laugh: It sounds reasonably tough for a 6. A bit loud though.

Thanks Brenton. I haven't forgotten about the BB PM either mate!

G'day Joel,

Getting pretty close now mate. It's running. We've still got a dozen or so smaller tasks to complete (mostly asthetic) and we 'may' end up having to swap the exhaust housing & wheel over if it shows in tuning that it's too large.

See attached pic, taken 2wks ago.

Ha-ha yeah mate that A/C install is a classic! But it works. Yeah good to meet you too. The wheels on your 33 look awesome!

That's the mean engine bay you have going there, very impressed looks s@#* hot

whatsisname :

Your engine bay looks rather tidy.

I will be taking my car to Shaun once its all back and running smoothly. I need to sort out the fuel econnomy ( or lack of) and a bit of more loving for my engine.

It doesnt help having shit coil packs in missing so much that the raw fuel just goes out the exhaust. 127km at 1/2 tank. This is from filling it up on sat morning and driving it maybe 4 times since then.

Thats insanly bad. I pull that out of the first 1/4 of a tank. :S

A couple of things can stuff fuel economy. O2 sensor and injectors.

I bought a new o2 sensor no change in economy (~350km's to a tank), bought injectors fuel economy perfect again.

Wow that was quick your already back for good?

Job prospects got better here? or didn't like brisbane?

Just too hard to leave the old lifestyle we know behind. Have many friends here and decided we just needed a break. Job prospects have been picking up quite considerably in adelaide also...

Its a bit weird but hey...

:laugh:

big exhaust leak - cant get past 12pound, need studs replaced. so its a turbo/manifold off job, new oem gaskets etc. will get shaun @ boostworks to do it in the next few weeks

damn; although I knew it had an exhaust leak however I didnt realize it'd affect it this much. oh well.

umm, a little fiddle with the safc (everything was 'pretty off'), set fpr correctly, 160rwkw with the boost not being able to hold and dropping to 8pound I believe. boost guage shows it going to 0.5Bar and it feels as strong as previous, perhaps better?

Booked in for the Fri 16/3 to fit the adjustable exhaust cam gear wheel, do the manifold stud work etc, new gaskets and all that, & a proper retune. Got quote, its a decent price so I'll be happy with the end result Im sure.

youve goto do what you feel is right no point going to sydney qld where ever to make 10-15k a year more if your heart isnt there and your not happy

Youd easily spend that on living expenses anyway. Adelaide is so much cheaper to live.

yeh mine has a afm prob atm, it might be cause the intake pipe is too short and causing turbulence and afm is havin a heart attack but will find out 2moro lol

Was that yours in the dyno room this afternoon? Were you in the camo gear?

I was looking at your engine bay thinking there was a lot of stuff in there. I was hoping to see the beast have a dyno run.

I was wearing the Barca football top and cap. Sorry, I should have said hello. That was my white R32 GTR that Troy was working on.

    • 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.
