Only 3 cars, but I was expecting a lot more. Sunny day, open roads and I only saw 1 police car the whole day!

What stopped the numbers from showing up??

I've got a photo or two which I can post soon.

Ended up going through the Black Spurs and onto Eildon. Great Fun! Heaps of Twisties!

Sounds like it was a good run. Having 3 cars turn up is better than one and that one NOT being the organiser. Sorry I couldn't make it, my car was playing up on me. I guess that what I would expect from a 25 year old car.

I went aswell. It was a mad drive, my first time through the black spurs, will definately be going through there again. It was good only having a few cars, everyone was really good to go cruising with. Thanks for a great day! :thumbsup:

How is the boost leak going that you found on the day? Is it serious?

The spurs were great, and the nice long open roads towards Eildon were nice and relaxing. Shame about all the bugs that were massacred on the windshield/ front bar on the way home at night. :D

I'll be looking at organizing another cruise in a few weeks time. Something a little longer and with more twisties to tackle. Keep a lookout for it. I'll see if I can post these pictures of the lookout at Maroondah Dam tonight.

Yeah its all good now. Didnt go through the petrol more like we thought it would either, ended up getting 530Kms to the tank! I would put up my pics but their on my phone.

    • 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...
