Hey guys,

Thought I'd post some pics of the car now its back from DMD. I can't recomend these guys enough. I dropped the car off to them on the Friday, Monday was a public holiday here in QLD and I had the car back by 1pm the following Friday. They were very good on price. If anyone wants to know PM me as I don't want to give anyone false ideas on quotes. But considering I had them fit the kit and repair heaps of other things from descent size dings and scratches right up to the little stuff and some rust under the mirrors. They even put little mesh inserts in the gills on the side skirts. There was a good portion of the car that would have had to be sprayed to blend it all I'm guessing. I was so surprised to get it back when I did, all polished (then it fu*king rained before I could even get it out of their driveway, shouldn't complain about rain though :rofl: ).

The pics dont' do it justice and the kit (which AMS supplied, again at a good price) lined up perfectly and there are no nasty gaps or anything. But incase you were wondering whats with the big strip of masking tape going from the wing to under the hatch door. The next day after I picked it up I noticed the wing was pretty crooked, but I took it in today with out booking it in and they got a couple of guys onto it straight away while I waited. Took about 30mins and the tape is just holding in place till tomorrow when I can pull it off again.

Now it just needs some wheels (the stock ones really let it down) but I'm pretty sure I know what I want and they'll have plenty of dish.

Very nice :)

If they good at blending paint colours...then I might get them do around my mirrors. Nothing like positive feedback from others!!

The blending is perfect. I've had a look in as many different lights as possible since I got it back and I can spot any difference. They did one of my mirrors too. Again perfect blending. Plus for a pretty high profile and well known workshop it was refreshing to see how helpful and friendly they were. Considering some of the cars they had in there where the owners would have been spending thousands of dollars (there is a series 6 rx7 getting r34 gtr taillights fitted :D for eg.) I didn't expect to be that much of a priority. The only reason I went with them is that I had to pick the car up from there and decided to get a quote. After expecting a stupid high quote I was really surprised, and even more when I had the car back within a week inc. a public holiday. And it looks like I'll be getting my wheels through them too as they offered a discount when I decide what I want.

i like the rear

but the vents on the side, and the fact the rear is lower than the front throws me off

and something is missing on the bumper...but i cant put my hand on it

But honestly, it looks good.

get yourself some 17 or 18x9s +15ish offsets and it woudl be AWESOME

      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.
