Lol at Steve!! I think he was hanging on for life!?!

It did sound awesome out on the skid pan, induction=sweet!, And driving it at lunch, drifting in 2nd was heaps of fun :thumbsup:

lol at steveo

lucky I got a passenger ride before I ducked off for the day at texi

awesome car man :thumbsup:

awesome day, really good chance to learn how the car properly handles after the engine change. needs over come some under-steer, new suspension raising rear spring height and lowering the front a tad. well that and more grip!

after a little experiment, i found out my induction hood actually inducts air! from as little as 40km/h there positive pressure trying to make it way into the engine bay from the windscreen. now all i have to do is find a way to use it.

Becareful with just letting air flow in from the bonnet, it can cause too much air pressure inside the engine bay and limit air flow through your radiator.

I've already noticed it, it behaves it self a lot better at texi's than it does on the road. it gets hot, not too hot just a tad more than normal, and it starts idling at 1500rpm to speed up a clutch fan that no longer exists. I'll have to block the induction hood up until i find a way to use it.

next on the cards is suspension work mainly involving putting the R32 GTR cradle in, and get new rims, thinking 17*8 front and 17*9 rear. needs a lot more grip!

3.7 ratio diff is in! lot more legs now and more fuel economy. has a cool diff whine that increases as your speed does, kinda sounds like a straight cut gear set. hope this doesn't mean it'll go bang though.

    • 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...
    • 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.
