So thats the secret plan, huh Chris?

All this time throwing us off track with new turbo this, new diff that, and really your going all out on mass HP increases with stickers!

Cunning mate, very cunning.

i might now be in this. a mate is 90% chance of not being ready and offered me his entry. it's just a matter of getting the silvia or 32 track worthy and strapping on my cojones and getting amongst it. maybe I should do what all the "smart" guys are doing and get a pro to do the driving for me so I can devote all my time to running my mouth. so dundan? wanna be my pro driver?

I'm pretty keen, but one of my hates is rushing around last minute to get ready for a track day, so I'm not sure I'm up to putting myself through that this week!

basically the choice is between:

1100kg with this: post-3621-1214978901_thumb.jpg

or 1500kg with this: post-3621-1214978978_thumb.jpg

for the silvia I just need to:

rebuild 2 calipers

fluid flush

fix up the seat a little

fit the new greddy intercooler

take it easy as no oil cooler

for the R32 I need to:

get fluids changed (the whole lot)

get wheel alignment

chuck some pads in it

maybe whack on some different tyres

fit my seat in (easy)

fit my harness (easy)

tough call.

lol. GTR would be good. I'm really torn. I just thought about it more. the GTR has bone stock suspension. the silvia has coil-overs, 2 way, adjustable castor rods, rear upper arms and traction rods, pinapples, GTST lower arms, adjustbale strut tops and good brakes for it's weight.... the plot thickens.

either way it seems I'll get punished by the weevil! why bother turning up!! :laugh:

The Zed lost brakes on the weekend and I just got it sorted with a new MC,

looking forward to this big time, see if I can beat at least one home. :laugh:

But as Richard quite rightly noted, Chris will be hard to beat.

    • 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.
