Hey that Motokhana sounds like fun... I don't think that I can afford the entry fee however I will hopefully be cool to go down for a look... anyone else interested?? I wouldn't mind entering the one in Gracemere if it was a bit cheaper... it would be a good blast...

Hey and there was definatly a Skyline at the Drags with NOS... however a very good source also said that it wasn't all it should have been... maybe a bit more tuning or something required... but someone should definatly keep their ears to the ground on that one because it could be something to look out for...

Oh... and Jay I openly admit that I might be a tiny bit out of practice with my Wet Dorift action...... we only see rain once a century up here... new turbo, injectors and a health spot of 9 Pound boost as compared to 6 pound meant that the Silvia was just a tiny bit more sideways in the rain than normal... BUT IT WAS FUN!!!

Jay could you be talked into running the Cefiro at a Motokhana... I mean dorift event... no i'm sure it is called a bitchumen Motokhana... and it would be pretty fun to see the cefiro bagging in up...

Actually we should get Dev and Rick and Willo in on the action... it would be fun to have three GTR's at the motorkhana... It would make it interesting to see how they went compared to the lighter and more nimble 2WD's.... hmmm I think it should be done...

hey shauno... there is no great trick to getting your flywheel off... although I highly recommend that you have a mate on hand so that he can help hold the Flywheel in place... Just make sure you are pulling the socket at a neat 90 deg angle to the flywheel... the only time that the socket will jump off and reck the bolt is when you are pulling at the wrong angle... believe us... us spankers know about pulling at the wrong angle and how much it can HURT!... but it is definatly easier with two people on the job so you don't have to worry about holding the flywheel...

That is true Jay... but then neither do most of us... I was impressed with Zebal in that VL commodore... he had that thing pretty sideways... talk about Aussie drift... impressive.... and we have hurt that young VR driver bad... I don't think he knew what a handbrake was.... now he won't stop yanking on it to get a bit of 180 deg action happening... hey I guess there is no easier way to turn around in a hurry... But they were really giving it their all out there!!

Yeah it is definatly a sweet sight as that young aussie battler hangs the arse of his Commodore out, and in desperatation grabs his blinkers as he magically comes smoking out of the corner in a blaze of tyre smoke and a small dab of fear... it is almost music to my ears... such a sweet sight... I remember when I did my first drift...........................................................................

Hey you have to talk to Willo about upgrading that Internet Site... it is about time we got some more info for him to put up... actually when we catch up tonight we will through some ideas around...

Are you going to get willo to come for a Lap or what... Cefy with new wheels... a couple of GTR's what more could the lap scene in Rocky need...

Actually to all that didn't see it... check it out on www.garagespank.tk under members... when it had 18" 5 spokes on it... It looked Jap Racer... very very cool... but now he has big shinies... and it looks pimping... very very cool... have I mentioned that Squizz's Cefy looks very very cool!!

actually other than Nismo and Jishwa every one of us Spankers has over 17" wheels... most of them being 18".... that is very very cool... very cool...

Hey Jay I just have one question about your info on the members site... what exactly is R24 Bayside Blue... is that any different to R34 Bayside blue... it just I'm sure it's a cool colour... is it anything like a Maxima blue... you know... the colour you get from DC motors favourite Family car??

    • 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...
    • 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.
