nice work snowclown, you are not very good looking but apparently know which is the gas pedal and which is the other ones. double respect for doing it in the GTR rather than a shitbox evo!congrats.

troy you may not have reached my expectations of first outright this year but i'm sure it's not lack of talent but lack of sabotage. take comfort in the fact you are a much more striking individual than any of the other butt monkeys out there. to be honest if you'd stuck with the nsw brisby plates things would have gone well. now with those vic plates on there god is mistaking you for a victorian and punishing you accordingly.

You could be right. I did see the drivers of the white S13 around the "Tin Can" on Thursday night, and i did hear some cutting in the early hours of the morning. Might explain the cracked rotors on the Friday morning. :ninja:

And by the way - a MASSIVE thanks to everyone who came to Shep and Sandown, both for the whole weekend or just 10 mins - top work.

Was so great to see so many familiar faces and to hear the cheers everytime any name was read out at the awards.

Even despite being dobbed in as a Muppet :ninja:

Richard was saying this morning how much more fun the Vic event was over NSW - mainly for the amount of camaraderie shown

All be proud of yourselves - Team Wang support crew FTW!

There is no subsitute.

What a massive weekend!

Big congratulations to the level headed team Richmond / Paris taking out the 1st outright crew trophie.

Richmond 2nd Driver outright - Paris 1st Co-Driver outright.

They had a points lead at the end of day one and just drove smart and safe and didn't make any mistakes to take out the event win.

Adam and I had mechanical issues, when I smashed the front diff on a launch on the back track and had rear wheel drive only. We pushed on for two more events, but one of the smashed gears got caught in the crown wheel and punched a hole in the diff casing. Therefore I missed out on three events and Newton missed out on five events.

So we loaded the GTR onto the back of the H2 Hummer and headed back to Melbourne, arrived at Racepace @ 6:30pm and finished the diff repair about 10pm, arrived back in Shep @ 1:15am. Big thanks to Ian and Ben @ Racepace for offering to do the work after hours.

We managed to survive the 2nd and 3rd day right up until the last event when the crack in the diff housing started to leak again as Adam pulled off. What are the odds?

Even with missing three events I managed to claw back up to 14th Driver outright.

Since we could no longer get into the top ten crew points, Adam and I decided to go for single event wins. So we pushed hard and got three single event fastest times each.

The rest of team SAU / Wang had lots of success with everyone getting a mentions for various events and classes.

Congrats to all.

Well, well, well..... what a weekend.

HUGE congrats to Snowy and Blaise for taking home the crown, its been a long time coming, but now everyone else knows "Teh GTR can neva lose"!!!

Scottish and Norton - incredibly bad luck with the car, but was ace to see you guys kill it in the trophy department. Fingers crossed for next year.

Fryzie and BigBird - rookies FTW!!!! You both did an ace job all weekend.

Bris and Juz - GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE IT!!!! LOL - everyone loved the noise. Especially all the kids who kept talking about Brisby as "the greatest driver ever". Apparently if its loud its quick. :)

James and Richard - the Aston sure sounded tough out there. James - you truly are a muppet though :kiss:

Huge thanks also to Mav, Min, Rachael and Melissa. Was ace to have you guys to hang out with while the rest of them played race cars.

Also a round of applause to those who made the trek to Shepp to support the team on Saturday - Dan, Saff, Daz, Tony, Aaron and friend and everyone else who came out on Sunday :)

And thanks to Jack - who always comes prepared with the truck :(

As always, I had an ace weekend and look forward to doing it all again in 2008.

TEAM WANG / SAU VIC REPRESENTZ!!!

But me and Juz are the best drivers ever! How else could we have mustered the pace we did out of what is the "scariest car in the world to drive?"

Tom - who saved the day for the silver bullet and

Benno and crew for fixing Team Dildo late into Friday night, without you guys the weekend would have ended a lot sooner for 2 of our teams.

You guys rock!

      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.
