ive seen it in Street Machine mag not that long ago..... the amount of work that goes into a classic car is , to most, un comprehendable. owning the torana i had was a very good lesson, i sold it in fear of a) it going missing, b) getting hit by some one and c) worrying about it all the time. un like a lot of newer cars, you cant go to a shop and pick up panels easily, most need custom work to fit and others are not available.

now owning a skyline i tend not to worry if i leave it some where, coz at the end of the day it can be replaced. :P

yeah I wish I kept my R/T 6 Pack Hemi Pacer and restored it....very rare now.

Paid $1700 for it when it was just 3 years old

Customline 9" rear end, triple webers and bored out to take 327ci Chev Pistons.

Hmmm, memories :P

I even had a handicapped run against the old famous Shotgun (only the oldies would remember that wheel standing Ford) back in the day when you were allowed to run up against the Pro Stockers.

Hey i remember SHOWGUN i haven't heard that name in awhile .

You is from the old skool Pete :P now sign the petition please *flutters eyelids* http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/...australia.html

I have a GTR and worked hard to get it..I am not stuck up and I love the feel of it..For me they are a "unicorn" :( I just dont like bulls**t, people shouldn't think they have to talk it up to think you will listen and think you're cool..

I have met all sorts in the car community..I don't care what you have I will still talk to you. I am a big fan and just love motorsport!!

P.s I do kind of get annoyed at the BS that boys like to talk to girls at times as some think that girls don't know anything about the car they own, I am polite but after think "that was a waste of my time" :O

It was definitely SHOTGUN Shane............a Ford XB Coupe Pro Stocker owned by Kevin and Greg Flaherty.

Greg died almost 20 years ago and his missus used to frequent one of the pubs where I used to do security back in the day.

i was thinking about this the other day, if i see any skyline, any at all, ill drive past and wave. usually get nothing in return!i also wave at any import just a casual thumbs up or a wave, shows almost a rep for sharing the same interests! think it should be an import code of practice to share a wave, acknowledgement! generally speaking you dont know what someone has under their bonnet be it a gtst, ex. again chad, stock looking 32, gtst bonnet, no signs of gts4, with an rb26 under it! respect other people i say and life would be a better place! end rant

that can be said across the board for anything when you let a car into peak traffic it gets returned to you later, if everyone calmed down when driving and let a commodore in sometimes we will all get there safely and not have to boil the blood

yea but there still is the image of all import drivers being wanks, as we import drivers think most commodore drivers are wanks! so its a win loose battle, but getting off topic there, still i think rep another import and show some love, with awave or something

      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.
