See you all bright and early on Saturday morning Guys.

Dont forget to pump up your tyres BEFORE you arrive at the circuit, better to do them on Friday night.

Also make sure you arrive on time, no late night on Friday !

and just so it is perfectly clear...

NO SPECTATORS ARE ALLOWED AT THIS DRIVING COURSE

Hey guys, I'll be down there the entire day taking photos of the events too.

I'll be offereing CD's of your car throughout the day, all shots of your car only that i take during the day will be included on the CD. it will be $40.

Or if you just want that 1 sweet shot of your car sideways i will be able to offer prints to be sent to you a little bit after the day (because i will need to do the printing) for $20 for an A4 size photo.

You will be able to see all the shots i have because i will setup toward the end of the day with a few laptops displaying imgages.

So does that mean that driver dynamics are allowing you to take photos?

will there be video's too??

i will buy one for sure but im not sure if i will have any money on the day. my stupid boss hasn't paid me yet...

any way i can order one and pay next week?

I Cant wait For Saturday ive changed my tyres to real crap ones with hardly any tread so they will spin like no tomorrow.

I was so happy about it after i changed them that i did a nice Snakey down the street in the dry...... oops!

i didnt think they would spin that easy?

;)

but now im worried that i might chew them up completely on the day cause they really have low tread

what do you guys think?

Would have been better if you kept the good tyres on.

The track is going to be wet, so your tyres are going to spin easily anyway.

Due to the wet surface you are not going to chew as much rubber as you would in the dry.

The car is easier to control with good tyres all round.

Having said that i have really good tyres at the front (T1Rs) and ok ones at the back (Hankook), but this is what i had on the car, will be getting T1Rs at the rears soon, before the next SAU cruise :action-smiley-069:.

PS: Have not washed my car since Autosalon '08, but last weekend i did give it a spray over at the carwash. The track is going to be wet so all the shit on the track will get your car dirty in no time.

I would recomend small wheels if you have them and tyres with good tred.

Chineese cheepos tyres ftw but as Al mentioned even if you have good tyres on they will not wear badly as it will be wet.

Tyres with no tred is potentionaly going to end your day quickly and waste your money. I would describe no tred as being on the indicator ie 3mm tred left.

As I said 3mm may get you through but is an unnessary risk.

yeah i hear ya bit lat now my rears are on the indicators so if i pop one bad luck for me but at least it will make a good photo.... :(

reason i changed is cause the one i had on are fairly good and i didnt wanna wreck em so i put them on the front.. it will help me steer better anyway

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      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.
