I've got a few video's to post but probably won't happen until later this week, a little busy at the moment.

Also need to find a good website to upload them too, probably just youtube...

My car used to do the same thing when I first got it.

I got Kamikaze Motors - Nunawadding to seal mine up. Hasn't leaked since. They have some crazy 2-part putty stuff, works great.

Also they are a club sponsor.

Nick you can try selley's "knead it", can get it from bunnings. i tried using sikaflex and loctite sealant on mine but since they are soft setting, the seal would break eventually. Then used the hard setting selley's knead it and haven't had any leaks since.

Yeah I think that's what they might have used at Kamikaze.

computer has been down, but yeh...

put in new suspension a few days before deca, as well as larger front brakes and front rims, TOTALLY not used to the car, i did so much worse than the last deca... :ermm: aghh so frustrating, went home thouroughly disappointed and unsatisfied for this reason, need to hit the streets for the next few months (not really!) and need to get used the the car again, handles completely differently when sideways, so much more twitchy......ugh!

need to do more adjustment, tried a bit, but having four runs on the skid pan meant that there was little time for adjustment.

anyway, backtrack this time however, was WAYYYY better, (except the basketball court bit where you had to the the car sideways) the awesome grip and non existent sidewalll flex of the new rim/tyre combo was awesome on the back track, (a few days before deca i still had the same rims on the front as i did on the back, MASSIVE sidewalls)

anyway, have to get used to this new suspension before next time,

one down side of this deca was waiting times, previous deca i have been to, there were 3 groups, skid pan was divided in half, and the tracks were a bit smaller, meant almost everything was first gear, and you didnt have to try to slam/crunch/force it back into first on corners following some of the longer bits of the SAU motokhanas when you have a very thoroughly used 1st syncro like i do.

also this meant that you could go on more runs, and do more adjusting to the set up of that car if that is what you need to do (as some of us cant really do this on the road)

...and i enjoy tighter tracks...maybe cos of the lighter stature of my car...

and upside however was the numbering of the cars which meant that you could go in order, but that fell appart towards the end anyway.

i can vouch for this, used sandeep's 'kneak it' and mine doesnt leak anymore either woot :(

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
