We pulled ryans car out of there today. IT LOOKS AWESOME!

There are a lot of skylines etc in there at the moment.

Mike really does do great work down there.

Don't tell me there is no more 2 tone on the 180!!?

Mick has done my engine bay (its a bit dusty here)

I dont hesitate to reccomend him to people at all, and im constantly going back with more work of my own to be done :rofl:

Bah!, so much for an unveiling!

I will take some good photos tommorow, i didnt leave till after dark, so no good pics. Mick is very picky, thourough and skilled! the amount of attention to detail is fantastic! If anyone had looked at my car before it was painted it was far from straight! and not quite one colour... Now it looks better than new!

The car will be sandown on sunday if you want to see it up close...

I wouldn't use anyone else

My car is there at the moment getting the SHMICKO LIQUID GOLD treatment :rofl:

Give them a call and ask for SHMICKO!

Top work, top bloke, top facility!

I had some of my car painted by Mick at Micolour. Very happy with the results and after spending a little bit of time down there you see how he goes that extra mile to get things right and not just slap it together.

There is a bit extra info and some pics Here

Good luck with it where ever you go though.

    • 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.
