Yeah no shit man, panel beating in this weather is shit house, especially working inside a masive shed with 4 celing fans that just blow more hot air around, then ya gotta use the oxy and mig welders.

I can tell you its a few more degrees hotter than out in the sun where i work.

Loving the hot weather as it means i can head to the beach later on when its cooled off a bit, otherwise just have the house set to 23 and chilling inside. Went out earlier and couldnt believe how hot it was!

Chris, leaving your windows down a bit definitely helps but 1cm prolly wont do that much :P Leather FTL in this weather

My R32 decided that it didnt need the clutch slave cylinder anymore half way up main north road, so i got sit in the sun for 2 hours waiting for a tow. Lucky my laptop picked up an unsecured wifi network so atleast i could read sau lol.

Same here with the clutch slave cylinder?

Yup... mine gave up... in my driveway... which is on a obscene angle. So now I have to get it towed out somehow!

And the battery went flat last night. Sigh.

Well i just bought one of those big blow up pools woot! gonna blow it up when it gets abit cooler ^_^ might go for some midnight skinny dippin bahha

don't do it dude........you take the risk of a puncture caused by a little prick on the inside :P

Air con in the Stagea can't handle the temp. I think its low on (out of) gas anyway ... I'll get it regased tomorrow.

Got 3 stops on the way home, then I'm hitting the pool ... and I'm not getting out until the sun goes down. Was in the pool until after 9pm last night. :P

u guys need to harden up, try powder coating for 8 hours a day. in a shed with a low roof and an oven that sits at 200C all day and then think about the damn white spray painters suit that lets no air in or out. add to that there can be no fans which would blow the powder around. that makes for one really hot effen day. i used to have a thermometre in the shed but it used to scare the guys i would have come in and help for an hour or so once it got up to the 80C or higher mark

maybe a tar worker on a road in the outback. or fighting a fire ????

or the feeling of frostbitten hands under hot water.a different kind of burn..lol

the sand hasnt turned to glass on the beach yet, so its not too bad..lol

Went out at 1:30pm or so to fill the car with fuel, walk out of air-conditioned office and the heat hit me in the face like a 2x4, felt like my eyes were contracting or something. Wander through the carpark out to the car, turn it to on and the gauges flick up half way already - about 70C on both the oil and water gauges - car hadn't been started in 4 hours.... it's .. kinda warm out there .. :P

    • 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.
