Finally some clear weather, so got the skyline out instead of the vw.

Driving the skyline in the wet is a major pain in the ass, as the demisters are rubbish and there is no air con, so usually have to drive with the window open, getting rained on...

And that's winthout mentioning the $80 a pop, plastic rear, barely can be called, tyres

My windscreen wiper has an issue where it sometimes scrapes the windscreen, quite annoying when you're sitting in traffic, you're ipod is dead, no good cds in the car and all you can hear is metal scraping glass.

My drivers side window also doesn't go up which is awesome for surprise storms.

Don't get me started about driving in the rain lol. The 31 has no heater or A/C and 1 window is never enough to stop the windscreen from fogging up so I end up with all the windows open. My lights are shithouse normally add rain into the mix and I can see about a metre infront of the car for everything else I have to use the force. Can't see out of the back window because of shit tint left over. The wipers are f**ked and seem to readjust whenever they please so one minute they will be fine next they won't make it over to the drivers side or they overshoot it and go off the windscreen entirely.

Certainly makes driving in the rain an adventure...

My 31 is just as pleasant to drive in the rain as it is in the dry

My 32 is good too. Just not when I have to cross epic rivers. The air con demists the rear window, so it doesn't matter that the rear demister doesn't work :banana:

Lol, what an evening. Was feeling energetic this afternoon and decided to tape up the coil packs on the 33, it had a flat battery as well so I went and picked up some jumper cables from a mate and jump started the car. Went out for a drive up to the servo in warner/bray park to pump tyres up. Car just started after putting some petrol in, gave it a bit of a boot to see how the coil packs went now that we'd fixed them up, was all sunshine and roses. Until the car started hunting.

Someone forgot to tighten a hose clamp up.

Had no flat head screwdriver so we called home and got someone to bring my car out, got the car and fixed up the hose clamp. Now my bonnet doesn't open so we were trying to flag down a car. A black 32 drove past us, kept going, a multitude of other cars as well as a white stagea who did a skid around the roundabout and then got chased by an undercover car. So thanks to those two drivers for pulling over! lol. In the end a hot little p plater pulled over and we got it all going :banana:

Question of the day - if you could swap your car for anything within reason (say 20k+ the value of your current vehicle) what would it be?

Mine? A very clean 32 GTR or 34 GTR.

      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.
