I have to say a great big thanks to Justin first of all for giving up his whole friday night... Great photo's!

Also to LadyBytes (Michelle) for organising the night, Mark (LadyBytes man) for taking some great shots aswell and everyone who turned up... :P

Everyone was well behaved on the roads (except for a certain Supra) and therefore we all had a good night!

I would like to express my thanks for Justin's efforts by starting up a VOLUNTARY donation fund for his time and dedication, he doesnt even own a Skyline and he spent 6 hours from 8pm until 2 am snapping away for our benifit...

I am personaly going to donate $10 and I think that if we get the ball rolling (and $5 - $10 each isnt much) Justin will be overwhelmed by our thanks.

C'mon SAU ACT people, if you were there on Friday night you know that it was worth it!! ;)

P.S. any idea's on how to pool the money together would be appreciated.

What supra? It wasn't my mate in the black JZA80 I hope.....

Anyways, we'll have to organise another night for the rolling shots threw the parksway tunnel, and also, anybody who wants pic's at the museum please PM me and we'll sort something out.

I'll get to burning the CD's over the next few days.

Thanks again.

I dropped my clutch, still getting used to the brass button, and I had a little chirp going back onto Parkes Way. I felt pretty stupid, but this clutch is hard to get used to. Sorry if I got anyone in trouble.

Daaaaaaaaamn... I need to get my frount mount in and get you to do some photos, or atleast come along to the next shoot, those photos are awesome! And rolling shots through the parkway tunnel would be wicked

haha cheers, looks great, wish it wasnt a white car though :P

dam, should of hopped down from the dumpster for the group shot, lazy bastard

    • 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.
    • 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.
