7pm can get towards the busy end as thats when most people arrive.

If you get there about 6.30pm - you can usually get out on the track and have 5-7 good runs before many more cars come out :(

But then Calder isnt as busy anymore due to muppet management, so you might be ok

calder is shit dont wast your time

1.shit track

2.pathetic price

3.long waits

Heathcote FTW

Why dont you all go to Heathcote on a Sunday meet up at like 9pm at Kmart in Cambo and depart from there

1 hour to get ther, $45 to run and you can run with a passenger.. Privately owned so no bullshit and is a good environment, and there is no waiting to run...

I believe its worth it

we go to heathcote as a club about twice a year and its a lot of fun in many ways.

however what isnt alot of fun at heathcote is the frustratingly slow times with the track lacking traction.

i want to go to calder a couple of times to get a better indication of what my car does..

was at calder 2 weeks ago and there were plenty of cars and a reasonable crowd too. if people wanna meet up earlier to run im happy to do that. all i know is that on the 29th ill be running down there, if there are more skylines there then we can all have a ball together and see who gets bragging rights.

SLYNE: your right bout heathcote being a reasonable track tho the moeny you waste in petrol to go there you dont save enought to be worth while. plus calder is close.

R33SilverS2: the longer you stay the better the niht gets, more rubber gets laid down as the night wears on and the air gets cooler. in a good night you might get 10+runs if u stay til the end, on a busy night, 5?

i run a better time at heathcote then calder

My uncle also ran a better time at Heathcote

Calder - 13.1

Heathcote - 12.7

319rwkw!

Doesn't mean a lot to me... especially with 300rwkw... unless your driving a 2tonne beast, 300rwkw is 11's territory

Shows an inconsistent (and slow car) as opposed to the track IMO.

Cant base track condition of a time slip from either track.

Proves nothing of prep level, temperature on the day, prior/current weather conditions etc etc.

Lots to take into account than a ET

Hey guys, long time no see, I see you have a new ride daniel too, good work, looks very nice :P

but yer since i was last on here the Lil' Zilla has seen a 550hp Walbro intank pump (xmas pressie) and

now a Wolf 3D, it made 200.4 ATWkw's on 17psi, i was pretty happy with that to say the least.

Will try and get some pics of the dyno sheet etc on here sometime soon.

neway back to the point in hand, sounds like this could be a good idea Heathcote or Calder, as long as i can

drive fast and not have to worry bout flashing lights in my rear view mirror, sounds good to me. :P

i'll see whats happening and get back to ya on whether i'll race.

Good to hear your've had good results with the sr20 :). My bro sold his s15, that you would have seen on a few of the cruises, and bought a 32 gtr in gunmetal, I think he was somewhat inspired from your dads car... ;)

      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.

      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.
