if youre looking for a hotel that is decent priced and smack bang in the middle of the city, try the pacific in hindmarsh square.

as for nightlife, i myself like the smaller underground clubs & bars - i reccomend Sugar on Rundle St. and even Dragonfly in Victoria Sq. on a Saturday night. Theres heaps of other joints that are popular - Electric Circus, Garage, Dog & Duck, Vodka Bar, or even HQ like Batmaan Bin Suparman said above (lol). And while you're down here, you might as well check out the worst Casino in Australia...

3-4 weeks time??? You'll be here in time for the SAU:SA dyno day ... come watch. :)

The Riviera on North Terrace city is a nice cheap place with guest car parking at the back. Very close to the city night life.

Mars bar is definately one to check out, Krishy told me so.

you didnt complain when you came along Damo.....

Vote 1 for Damo to be the SAUSA drag queen.....lol i see Pete's eye light up :banana:

Mars bar is good if you going with some leso friends as they can pick the leso chicks from the straight ones....and there is plenty of that in there from what i hear....

So if your into your RNB tunes there is a few places....Sugar, Mansions (even tho the DJ sucks), Swish, Club 58 (it plays all sorts), Earth (changing their style of beats...more trance, electro, house stuff), HQ (plays everything and anything and plenty of hotties there), Garage, Cargo, Rocket Bar, Vodka Bar, Tool i mean woolshed, Red Square (its gone plain wierd there now), Dog n Duck, Palace (classy boobies), Crazy Horse Revue (average boobies), Land of promise (exactly what the title says), Casino for cheap drinks just dont let Dave (scandy) take your money, The Elephant, RNB at the CRIB if you like hanging with Wanksta's (all brothers from africa yo), Pier one at the bay, Dublin at the bay (chicks behind the bar are stunning), Grand at the bay

So thats a fair few places

+1 for cruise, just dont get your car impounded while you're here lol

Have been on an awesome cruise before which cruised through Gorge, Chain of Ponds and then the back way to Angaston, then head back towards the city through the twisty roads of the Barossa - yes, I'm biased lol.

It was an awesome cruise though, Scenic as and some good food too. (Bakehouse Cafe Williamstown FTW)

Definitely check out the hills we got here, everything else has pretty much been covered (yeh adelaide sucks) but check out Handorf on your way out for breakfast/lunch before making the trip back :bunny:

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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?

      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.

      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.

      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...
