Great pic of Michele - when the GTR was running :P

Its such a sad state to see it not moving and getting work done on it by Mark...hopefully it will be ready for this weekends cruise - or should I say the road trip that just so happens lots of Skyline people are taking to the same place at the same time - who would of thought!!! amazing how that can happen!!!! :P

Thats a really good photo of michelle, can't wait to see some others, and also get some photo's of myself

Still sorting threw them all.!

From what i've looked at I think i've got about a dozen of your BMW :(

Tourismo didn't run last weekend, he's talking in the future - he's talking the talk before walking the walk :( but when he does eventually get out there and walk the walk, he's gonna kick serious butt, Im not going to even get a look in :wub:

Tarmac- has the BMW

As for seroiusly kicking but....

We will see.... The toyota boys will be out in force next year.. hehe

Bullet, I reckon I did alright at wakefield with what I had, Second hand re050's on the front and Sonar's on the back, 1:13's without RS's or R compound tyres and only stock rb20 power, just you wait. I'm hopeing for under the 50 sec mark at the hillclimb, preferably without sticky rubber, but prob not :D

    • 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.
    • 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...
