I've been offline for a while, in between jobs etc...

I was left a nice little Elite card on my windscreen a week or two back on Calvary Hospital. Anyone here?

My car is a gray GTI-R.

While we're at it, anyone here own the White GST-t working at McArthur House (corner Nothbourne Ave and McArther Ave)?

That would have been the sneaky club president of EliteSport - Oppy....He works at Calvary....He's registered on here as Eliteopps....There R a couple of other blokes from Elite on here as well...John from Audiotec is our Vice Pres, he's registered on here too. You should come along to the dyno day on Saturday Poyz....all details R posted in the events section. Be good to have you there.

Not too sure mate. We got a couple of WRX's and another Gti-R in the club so i think Oppy would have tried to accomodate everybody. Plus I think some GTR's will be there. At a guess i'd say yes. Wouldn't be certain unless I ask John or Ops. Just come along anyway...should be a good turn out. If it isn't you can still meet some members and watch some other cars burn up the rollers!

Yeah, I did drive past.

I told myself I'd get up early and pop by so I can have a chat. (I spoke to Scott at Hogsbreath the night before).

Never happened, got up late and just drove past since I was in the neighbourhood. My cousin flew into town and we were headed to Sydney that day.

When's the next meet. I'll stop this time, I promise :D

I really hope it gets rid of that F**king stutter at 5k revs. see you soon.....when I'm stuck in my garage scratching my head about how to put those front splits in........man you should see where my STOCK TWEETERS are mounted. I can tell I'm going to spend endless night and days on it.

    • 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.
