Hey everyone,

OK, I dont have a Skyline but im a guest over from perth falcons. An Intruder if you like :P

I've heard from a good friend that out on your cruises, you've been to the infamous truck stop off of Albany Hwy and that you have had to deal with that menacing bloke in the big ute that comes to ruin your cruise.

Its happened to me and some mates (not on a falcon cruise) twice now out of the 3 times we've been there, and frankly its pissing us off.

Does anyone know who this bloke is??? What his problem is and why??

What gives him the right to break up a car meet? Does he own the area or something?

You're talking about Farmer Joe. My friend ran up to his F250 and started a convo with him once, apparently his real name is Santa... I'll ask her what he looks like.

From what I know, he lives behind the truck stop and comes down to try and chase us off. Only works in small groups, medium groups he'll drive around and make sure you're all behaving (course we are...) and with large groups he'll hide somewhere to watch for a while before going home. He's never called the cops to my knowledge though.

This thread is no place for valid and correct informed answers....now GTFO! :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...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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.

      Could it really happen......

      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.
