I think we should all take our turbo's off when we go on cruises so there is no temptation to drive our cars as they should be driven. Shame on us all....

The problem isn't in people driving the cars as they should be driven. The problem is people driving them how they shouldn't be driven. And the biggest problem is that so many people don't know the difference between the two because they don't know either the limit of their own driving ability or their cars performance ability.

Yeah... AT A TRACKDAY NOT A PUBLIC ROAD

Winton Trackday on 25th November was a good one thank you Ash :)

During the previous GOR cruise, there were already a few drivers who drove dangerously. Cutting into traffic from the opposite direction at corners.

Suggestions can be:

1) Warnings sent out to the respective drivers which gone out of hand

2) A briefing about Do's and Don'ts before the cruise commences.

Well I would not consider any of that example to contain any wrong behavior!

All cars were safely on their own side of the road and none went over the centreline coming around the corner at a reasonable speed.

The only issue was the "f" word when you thought some were going to pull in and stop! :nyaanyaa:

To be honest I have avoided some of these runs because I know sometimes my adrenelin can get going and thats when stuff happens if its going to happen.

But thats because I have not done to many DECA's or Track days for a while to get it out of my system and get to know my and the cars abilities better.

The people on this run that let their head go a bit will realise who they are and should say to themselves..

-I WILL JOIN SAU and get my head together by doing it on a racetrack under safe controlled conditions! (and have the most fun in a Skyline with your pants on!)

How about it Daniel, and you to Adam!

Is this aimed at me? If it is, I'm not even 18 yet! :spank: I'll be getting my licence mid January (hopefully pass) so will be signing up soon. Don't worry. If it wasn't aimed at me then..... my bad. :P

im actually really looking forward to joining SAU and meeting new people and going on the official cruises. i think no matter what there is always somebody that doesn't think and will do something silly and thats because they are probably running on adrenaline. i think every car should have classical music playing in there car you will be too calm and relaxed to to do anything stupid :rofl: . my car probably won't fit in with all you guys and girls cause mine is completly stock and i think that is a good enough excuse to fix it up a bit, woohoo time to spend some money!!

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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?

      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...
