ok, let's talk melb GP.

I wasn't planning to go this year but at the last minute realised I couldn't bear to miss it. So I'll be heading south of the border again.

So, who is going? where are you going to watch from? and what else are you going to get up to whilst down mexico way?

hey, I only consider you scum next to krusty. yeah, you see how you scum.

and ftr, I've done general admission once before but found that I missed my usual spot in the turn 1 grandstand. so every time since it's brabham stand all the way. this year I wasn't going to go at all, but changed my mind at the last minute, so no chance of a grandstand ticket at this late stage, so I'll be mixing with the common man. don't know how i'll cope.

i just looked at the prgram and have to say it's looking a little lame this year. no V8s is a big shame, and nothing to replace them ;)

That's ok Richard, Brisby will take you for a spin in his 32 to make up for it... :D

He's done quite a few mods in the last week or two... :P

Back on topic, might head down on the sunday for a looksie....

yeah, brisby is good a taking people for a spin. like turn 8 at eastern creek for example... ouch. :)

so since this will be my first solo mission for melb for the GP I may need some entertainment. I usually go down with mate, or my gf but doing it on my lonesome this year. i'll be down from thursday to monday, so if anyone wants to meet up for some crazy reason and get drunk with me, then lets do it.

hm, maybe if I get troy drunk enough I can convince him to drive the ol GTST out onto the albert park circuit for a few happy laps. i know they can get streakers and protesters off pretty quick smart, but how long do you reckon it'll take them to catch and subdue troy belting his little GTST around Albert Park? now that would be something to see. that would be a sight, the pace car, and security chasing troy around lap after lap, hope they display his times up on the board... lol. maybe even pull into the pits troy and see what happens? maybe score a set of rays wheels and 13 inch wide slicks and some jungle juice to keep you going!

Hey Beer Baron,

Me and Ewen (youve met him a few times) will be down, were heading down on the Thursday and heading back on the Tuesday after.

Will PM you my mobile number and we can catch up, lots of drunken idiocy going on no doubt and were staying in a hotel on Queens St 2 mins from the GP entrances.

EDIT: At this point in time it looks like I will even have a spare Senna pass if you want to come and kick it in the grandstand with us :ninja:

sounds good mate. pm'd you my number too.

as for you troy, don't worry, I think I can put an advanced call in for some pre-stunt legal advice.

      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.
