And the missus thinks bikes are far sexier, yet she still won't let me get one!

Must be scared enough of me in a skyline...

Lol

Psych Profile:- If she won't let you get a bike, she's security oriented.

Girls are like that - Most girls...

Psych Profile:- (BUT) She thinks bikes are sexy? Of course they can be... but...

Girls can fantasise too (whilst I'm reading between the lines) - She's dressed up in leathers perhaps?

No, I think she's just sense oriented. She has a point, I would almost certainly die on a road bike, everyone else seems to. But I've been through a few dirt bikes that she seems to have no problem with so I can't complain.

A mate of mine bought a 900 Fireblade when he moved to the territory, back when they still had no speed limits. He recalls doing 260km/h, getting a slight speed wobble, then going home to change his undies and sell the bike.

I will always have a soft spot for the AM db9

sure it's not as flamboyant or ostentatious as ferrari and lambo flabours of the week,

but it has that certain timeless class that stands the test of time

from asthetic point of view, the F430 Scud shits on the new 458 Italia all day and everyday.....something about the look of the 458 just doenst sit right.....seem almost too generic, no wow factor.

I agree but its kinda like the r35 gtr, alot of people including me critisised it on paper but once on the road we can change our minds very quickly.

Trust me wait till you see that 458 in the flesh!!!!

    • 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.
