i wish i still had a car for ryan to work on :)

was a good excuse to drink iced coffee and talk lots of shit/bag other members on here :huh:

i have a feeling you will be doing another 100 thou k service for me soon ryan ;)

;)

meh, its bound to happen sooner or later!!!

what really shits me.

new gasket, labour =50

captain thread to take out snapped stud=90

coolant to top up=15

realising the turbo gasket wasnt even the problem, and paying simon 200 bucks to find it = mega fail!!!

a $15 elbow intercooler pipe ended up costing me $370!!!!!

ffs ;)

$450 (inc Labour) to change Timing belt (genuine), Water pump, Coolant, Oil, Oil Filter, Plugs, General check over, whatever else you want doing..

Woo hoo! Whatever else! Nice. Okay, Ryan, included in the $450 I want a OS Giken 3.0L built, I'll have a HKS T51 SPL fitted... and I want you to give the car a wash and polish... with your tongue. :rolleyes:

There's a couple of reasons.. Firstly, working on cars so much made me loose the thrill of working on my own car, which is why i got my car in the first place...the hobby was killed. I love cars and it killed it for me. And secondly, too many people didn't realise i was in it to help people out. Getting bagged for not being as reliable as a workshop even tho i was there to save ppl money and time in the first place. I'm not a workshop, i do have a 45 hour job during the week and a social life.

Don't get me wrong, most of the people were more than greatful for some of the work i had done but there's a percentage of ppl that just ripped the satisfaction right out from under me when too much was expected from just one dude trying to help save a dollar or hundreds.

Craig, be more than happy to help you in the future..even for a couple of brews and a shit talk. :P

That's fair enough too Ryan, I often thought to myself that you took a lot of shit on and it would become more of a hassle ( not knocking you just an observation :P )

Sad part is there's a lot of people out there just looking to use others to get what they want, sadly it seems you met some of them :)

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