yep i was there today saw the gtr go on the dyno!

although there seem to be alot of problems on the dyno the r35 wouldnt stay in gear to complete the runs took about 4-5 goes before finalli producing the 366kw atw

also saw the sau stand next to the dyno!

and i just read yesterday about the r32 gtr that beer baron was building with the crate motor! i saw it and read that piece of paper that said 2007 crate motor and i was like oic thats the one i read about!

I got to sit in the 35, got a pic of me in it. God thank the hot Asian chicks hanging around the skylines for convincing the guy to take a photo etc.... ps.. the camera guy wasn't complaining about your short skirts and accidentally open legs. my wife jabbed me pretty hard in the ribs though and I wasnt even looking. My god it was nicer inside (35) then I thought it would be. Definetly A nice feel. Also went by the SAU stand and sat in the barrens car (the legend was only to happy to open the hole thing up and let me druel all over it. Guy was nice, easy to talk to... I didn't go looking over the hole car.. I wanted to... forgot to ask, vspec2? or just got some 'black painted' brembos thrown on? I did ask if the brakes were an upg but didn't hear what he said.. I hate to repeat myself. Either way. The bloke was awesome about letting a random as far as he's concerned jump in. I looked over the thing in a couple of the usual spots wondering if he was telling the truth about it.. The hole thing seemed *read f**king immaculate* .. nice little reborn virgin of a car. Don't rem if that was his car he rebuilt or if that was the second car he coasted over. >:)

No pics in the barrens car but good times. (Cheers barren's friend who barren entrusted the keys too, baz my shoes were clean mate so he didn't do you wrong). You brought a smile to the face mate.

The SAU birds getting hit on by the 14 yr old lebs with gay haircuts was pretty funny. Was seriously having a laugh with the wife about >;P.

Some real nice gtrs.. Some overly riced crap in there though managed to find a single fd amongst the sleaze that was hawt (tas targa car). 980kw "street legal" dyno queen supra was fun to watch dump a shit load of fuel. Respect atwkw though. Was fun to watch some cars with external gates /dumps re-circ a crap load of exhaust and with appropriate unburnt fuel out the exhuast causing enough blow back to start a gunfight. SAU people would have breathed in enough uncatelised exhaust to get high.

Some tarmac rally cars looked THE awsome.. the corrola rebuild was alright and I hate corry's. over all some absolutely beeeeeeutiful cars... Sorry for the white mushy mess I made on the steering + door + trimmings in the 35 again.

After going to the show I'm now on the hunt for my very own v-spec 2... I'm selling my current car... who am I kidding! The modded 33 I own is fun, but after sitting back in the barrens 32.... made me feel that yearn, that want for the R. It gave me hope I really could find one I would want. Bye Bye play money for a while.sigh. good times. high 5*

Yep, that was me giving you the tour. Basically, I went and talked to anyone that spent a few minutes looking it over, then if I could really tell they were into skylines, I let them have a look inside. I think only 3 people over the weekend earnt that priveledge :D

Sorry about the confusion, I probably should have introduced myself :)

And I thought I said they were 33 Brembos? Though I did have a few people ask, I may have missed your question.

And yes, on Saturday, when the Dyno was forcing the exhaust fumes right at us, I quite seriuosly did get dizzy a few times... :P

Ahhh, I think we were putting the V35 on the dyno right after the R35 went on... We would have all been out the back getting some air that didn't have a ron rating of 110 :D

      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.

      Could it really happen......

      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.
