Hey...I am not alone!!!!!!!!!

Mine broke once, was welded up by the place I bought my car from, lasted 3 days and spapped again. I then paid about $150 to get it done "properly".

That lasted for about 14 months and then spanned again...shiiiiit!

So I was tossing up to get a new pedal box installed from a front cut @ $275 fitted or fix the original one.

I got advice from the mob who put my intercooler in a couple of weeks ago and the young guy had a look and said he could fix it and brace it so it would NEVER happen again.

Since then it has been better than ever. It may have had something to do with the brutal treatment I have given the 3 clutches I have been throught in the last 18 months.

hmmm clutch drama's. I am experienceing them at the moment. Just had the car for not even a week and the clutch is slipping already. Its got a os gieken heavy duty clutch in it and the fella was like yeah so u wont have to replace it blah blah but what i dont know is how long its been in there. So yeah coming down the on ramp onto the highway this morning in 4th and the revs pick up and go down n up...shyte i think so into fifth and same deal except worse. Know of any clutch combos which will be decent?

$500 button clutch from Just Jap. That will do the trick! My last Exceedy Organic Button Clutch lasted about 8 months due to drifting and cost me $2,000 fitted, so I got ripped off basically.

Then I bought the button clutch from Just Jap and another flywheel and changed it with some mates from Cyber Group and it only cost me $880 + Booze for the weekend, pretty cheap really!

PM if you want some more details...

      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.
