Really? I've never heard a bad thing about Jim Berry or his clutches. Can you give me some examples? PM if necessary.

na cant be bothered trolling through many threads about clutches, from memory possibly people either not driving it correctly and chewing out flywheels or starting with too thin a fly, or wimps not liking a slightly heavier pedal from standard

Thanks to your R32 I cant bare to turn the key in mine anymore :laugh: hahaha

anyway, did nightshift last night, got bored:

also, spotted this on Wilkinson Road Gawler River on my way home:

caption 'now let that be a lesson to the rest of you'

Naww :ninja:

In other news, I know of one of the guys who died in the bomb blast in Enfield :)

yeah already pointed out, Damo SAU's new hood :ninja:

I bought one from a chick in NSW for $450, second hand, only to have my mechanic tell me that it was 100% f**ked. The springs were loose and there were cracks on the pressure plate. I contacted the chick (who is NSW exec) and denied that it was broken and said that it was fine when she removed it from her car (even tho she admitted it was slipping at 350kw).

$450 down the drain from a 'trusted' sau member, I was pretty shitty. I'm considering sending it to Jim to rebuild but cant afford it at this moment.

Not sure if it was the full monty or mini monty, but it has been the single biggest waste of money ever spent via an SAU purchase.

anyone know the EXACT process of gettin sa reg for in interstate car?

go to transport sa and fill out a form and thats about it. they'll issue you with sa plates unless you specify customs

i believe u only need to go to regency if the car is defected interstate or unregistered. if its registered interstate its just a simple paperwork/numberplate swap.

I transferred a QLD Delica over which was registered and not defected, took it to Vehicle Inspections for them to take a look over it(numbers check etc.) and got a form which says its all good been checked over, took that around the corner to Transport SA and filled out the transfer form paid fees rego and got the SA plates....

      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...

      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.
