Not sure anyone is saying the 6 speed is weaker, I get that Snowman had problems with his, and went with the 5 speed for both cost and better ratios.

Circuit racing /= Targa though so using Super Taikyu as an example is probably pointless.

Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

Same basic spec cars, about the same power, so i thought it would be a reasonable example that there is nothing weak about the 6 spd, nor did Nissan engineer down the quality of the drivetrain or later models. With no Grp A like in teh R32 days, and JGTCC so removed from road cars, i suspect Super Taikyu had even more importance to Nissan with the R34

the gearboxes in FD RX7 are clearly far far stronger than 32, 33 or 34 GTR... one day you could all become enlightened and pass over to the dark side !!

that is because a rotor lacks the torque to brake traction let alone gears. :)

Is the Targa DVD going to have any extra content in the main doco than the TV Doco? The doco's 10 years ago were much better, I watched a couple leading up to Targa, and they were longer, and showed a bigger varity of cars. But they did come out months after the event, as opposed to weeks.

I asked to Mazda crew when I was sitting between staged if they carried spare apex seals around with them...they didn't see the humor in it. Any gearbox could last behind a rotor :)

I meant the 5 speed is a benefit not so much because it is (marginally) stronger, but when coupled to the matching R32/33 diff gears they're better imo for this type of motorsport.

Anyway, I couldn't give a shit and am ready and waiting to move on :wub:

Roy is talking about anal now, has no one noticed?

Savman, yup, Mt Stuart for the 32. I better get to prepping the poor old girl. Straight after Superlap.

I'd like to apply for a derived time for the hour of my life lost last night and I'll happily take the penalty.

Apparently the Early Modern category (of which the majority of this forum competes in and watches) wasn't good enough for a mention or a final classification on the Doco.

I know not everyone can make it on the doco, but shit to miss a whole category??

as I said before, EM seems to be the black sheep so enough with the bickering... to busy arguing to realise your all getting screwed

was the most entertaining category too... close racing, crashes, mechanical failures and a bit of controversy all thrown in the mix... more interesting than F1 anyday!

Roy that's a disturbingly perfect analogy...

      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.
