Here's some of "our" 34 GTR from Rally Burniw 2006. Appo steerin, me navvin. Thanks to the organisers for the pics. It was a very grotty rally, velly velly velly slippy. We were lookin great for 3rd outright until we crashed out about 3 klms from the end of the very last stage :D We had spun twice previously, the road was SO cold and we just couldn't get heat into the rubber.

Sadly the car was sold last week and has gone to WA :(

Not really the most exciting of pics but it might help revive the thread coz I love it :ermm:

Oh, and here's the result! After we towed it out we drove to the finish, only suffered a dented front gaurd. The tree fern was holding the car up from falling over quite literally a 30ft 75 degree slope onto rocks which when I disembarked went for a slide down......... Nice. Yes I got dirty.

Thanks Chrisso for the fail pics :ermm:

The problem with rallying in Australia is the spectators have no commitment. Not like Portugal in the Group B days.

Those were the "good ole days"! lol - would have been a huge challenge for the crew.

None of the drivers miss it I'm sure, and there's enough silly/nieve spectators and/or officials that let people and themselves stand is stupid spots. Witness Targa Tas '06, Mini into crowd at the Domain. Not good.

That is crazy shit. I recon he would have had to get a custom made seat to accommodate his oversized go nads.

:D

    • 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.
