Balls up of a day at work. Total shit from go to woah. Every redneck trucker in Australia was in at the pub today, 3 bartenders and 400-500 people is not fun times.

Mangs. Timing belt success :cool:

Next up will be to replace some hoses and get some hotter spark plugs to try and get rid of the lag and idle miss. Then oil pump and fuel pump.

Then rear tie rods, boots all round, new rocker cover seal, and maybe a listing in the for sale section.

giving up skyline ownership?

or getting a different one?

Afternoon mangs.

What kind of euro you thinking John?

Pretty sure turbos are on the way out on the GTR the noise is getting worse and it sounds like Scott's now mellow.gif

Morning Mangs,

So narrows it down to bmw, merc, porsche, vw, audi, maserati, alfa, ferrari, lancia or a lambo eh John?

F1 was good last night even if Vettool dominated.

'Tis the season for destroying turbos it would seem.

Knock Knock.

LOL!

At least it rules out the bloody french

F1 was good last night even if Vettool dominated.

They got the DRS zone wrong. Was too many free overtakes on the straightaway.

Other than that was a good race, for all the positions behind first anyway. Webbo needs to find some more talent, stat.

I lol'd at the commentators reference to Kobayashi "doing a Webber".

Yeah needed to be a bit later on to make it a bit more difficult and then all the passing would have to be done in the braking zone instead of before it lol

Yeah, they got it right the last couple of races but they messed it up this one. Cars side by side in the braking zone is what you want.

F*ck, too slow. Phone is already "Out for delivery". Damn DHL and their German efficiency.

Hopefully he either leaves it at the door, or gets back to the depot in time for me to go and pick it up this arvo...

And you know I hate Merc and Lambo, so that narrows it down even more!

If I do wind up going euro it'll be Alfa or VW.

    • 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.
    • 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...
