Well as much as i love my car iv apparently done something wrong to the cops, defecting me for the second time in less then 2 years.. Pay rego for it to sit in the garage collecting dust..

Well here is the sitcho. Well i got defected where else but chapel st, but befor you say u stupid c*** asif do chapel laps.. i wasnt, i live near there and i was goin to rebel sport at like 3pm during day.

ok so here is the damage:

Parcel shelf - inspect for structural integrity(previous owner cut holes for 6x9's)

Bumper Bar - inspect for structural integrity

Pod or intercooler, not both.

Windscreen - to be inspected

Tyre placard - to be fitted

So i got my stock airbox and windscreen has nothing wrong with it, think he just felt like writing more that day. But the big problem im having is "Inspect for structural integrity" went to the mechanics today and the guy said i have to get engineers to have a look at it :P... well just wanted to know if this is correct and if it is dose anyone know were and how much this is going to cost me???

Thanks for reading

I had to get checked for structural integrity when my car was being repaired.

Its not a big deal really, cost me $100 and an hour of my time. Brought the car to the engineer along with photos of the repair project, he looked at the chassis and a few other things and signed a piece of paper.

did you repair it your self?? or did you have the engineer repair it??

Repaired by my old man and uncle and then taken to the engineer for approval. Actual cost was $138.40. Took four hours from an accredited workshop. No big deal really.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      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...
