hey

im with just cars and i want to install a fmic on my 34 but was wondering will they accept it since i have to make a hole under the battery to fit the piping?

i called them up this morning and told them what i planned on doing but they told me they didnt know and i would have to talk to the pits or something.

anyone know if they will accept it?

Why dont u get a stealth FMIC?

ARC makes them

basically both pipes use the orginal route as the SMIC.

no need to cut any holes.

:D

ive got a stealth kit on my car. Easier to install as well.. :)

You can insure fmic with JustCars, I have, they'll just tell you it will cost $xx extra on to your premium which you will have to pay within 14 days else they can terminate your insurance policy. They also seemed to have changed their opinion on turbo timers because that's on the list too.

Maybe they have changed, but when I insured with them (and still am) they allowed for unlimited modifications. Only thing they were iffy about was special paint.

The only time the premiums went up was when i had installed new stuff and wanted to increase the total amount my car is is insured for....

Better of just calling them...

The OP is asking specifically if the fact he has to cut a hole will affect his insurance.

He rang Just Cars, they didn't know what he was talking about and referred him to the pits (Vehicle Licensing).

Mate, you already have your answer - you told them you needed to do something dodgy to fit it so now, I would imagine, they will make you get it inspected..

      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.
