Hi Guys,

I have R33 97 model, n a bit of a problem with a tyre wear on my front tyres (i dont get it) normaly rear tyres go quicker ... Its the inner side of the tyre wearing more than any other spot, u guess its sumfin to do with the angle of the tyre / \

Car has stock wheels and its not lowered at all. Kumho tyres that i put on it (NEW NEW) 8 months ago r totaly illegal now, too bold ...

I was thinking to put 18inch on it soon, but i guess that there is no point doing it till i realise whats causing this ...

Any idea??

Thanks

ok ok ok

just to let u know, it wasnt simple as the wheele balance only, i tok it to K-Mac 2day,an they reckon i need a camber kit done ($560)

right wheel is 1,4 off an left one was 0,7 which is not normal .... so yeah that was causing uneven tyre ware ...

Now new wheels 1600 camber kit 560, and once u put bigger wheels it sits too high and u need to lower it whic his aproximetly 500 just springs .... aproximetly 2500 bucks ........ maaaaaaaaaan

Anyone needs a kidney??? Lever 1/2 of it only ... a testicle ...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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.

      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...
